Hi,
A Parking Charge has arrived in today's post (16th June) from Highview Parking for an alleged parking issue on 31st May. This is obviously outside the 14-day window allowed. However, they have written the date of issue as 8th June.
I find it hard to believe that a 1st Class letter has taken 8 days to reach me, but I have no way to prove when it was posted, or when it arrived! (No postmark as it is prepaid by them).
What is the legal position here, as surely Highview Parking must prove when the letter was posted?
My suspicion is that it was not posted on 8th June, but how do I prove it / do I need to?
The issue is that although I am the registered keeper, I was not driving. As this has arrived 16 days after the alleged date, I believe I should not have to identify the driver / pay the charge.
Can anybody please direct me here?
What do I need to do / what are my rights?
Thank you
