Hi I went to look at a Boat in a boat yard and didn't noticed that it had parking restrictions until I had a ticket sent to me, so I went back to the yard to see the shop that sells the boats the yard had no parking payment machine or anywhere to enter you reg number outside the shop, it had a machine to enter your reg number inside the shop but at the time of the ticket the shop was shut so I had no way of paying or entering my reg number to avoid a ticket. The shop manager told me he would get the ticket cancelled so I went away and thought nothing of it , a few weeks later I got another ticket that had increased so I went back to the shop and was told that the ticket was cancelled and it was just a computer generated one so not to worry. Now after a few months I have a claim form from county court business center for £265.00 I have checked the company is legit and is endorsed on .GOV website so I assume I have to reply. I am convinced I have a legit right not to pay the fine it due to the only way to avoid a penalty was to enter your reg number into the machine but the only machine was in a shut shop. Also If I contest the ticket to the county court business center who arbitrates the ticket ?
kind regards Steve
