Hi,
In May 2016 the driver parked in a local private carpark, paid for and displayed the ticket, and did not exceed the time they had paid for.
In August 2016 I received a PCN for £150 due an ‘expired or invalid ticket’.
I contacted the company to discuss and provided a copy of my ticket (which I still have). The response was that the ticket was ‘expired or invalid’ but no further detail would be provided upon request. I assume the problem is that my VRN is not displayed on the ticket, although I entered it into the machine. The driver did not realise this at the time as they didn’t see it necessary to check if the machine had printed the ticket correctly.
I have received 4 further letters, from various debt collection companies, all requesting various amounts. The latest letter is from a Solicitor demanding £208.00, which, if unpaid, will result in a CCJ request and possible intervention from a bailiff.
I genuinely feel as though I’ve beeen harassed and bullied over this, for over a year, although I have done nothing wrong.
Can somebody please help? I don’t know what to do, but will not pay the £208.00 out of principle. They bought and displayed the ticket and did not overstay.
Many help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
