Smart Parking PCN
Hi all,
Looking for some advice on a PCN from Smart Parking I received today.
The genuine reason I got the ticket was because I was parked on a retail park in Kidderminster, which I had paid and displayed in, and then drove over to Matalan, which for some reason I thought was part of the same retail park so as far as I thought the ticket I already have would have covered me. You can see the Matalan store from where I was parked but being lazy and having loads of bags to carry I thought I'd just drive and park closer.
I saw the ticket machines on the Matalan car park but I had assumed that it was run by the same people so I wouldn't need to pay again?! Obviously I was wrong!
They're trying to charge me £50 (the discounted amount) which goes up to £85 after 14 days. I was parked there for 20 minutes and 24 seconds. I don't understand how they have the nerve to try and charge me that much!
I don't remember seeing any sign but I did see the ticket machines. I've attached a picture of the sign on the way in to the car park in case there is anything that will help me avoid these charges.
If anyone can give me any advice I would appreciate it so much! I can't afford to pay it at this time of year and that's besides the point I really don't want to pay it to those thieves!
Thank you!!!
