Hello
I wondered if anyone could help.
I received a parking charge notice from Minster Baywatch dated 29/10 and issued 18/11.
I appealed to say I was attending the gym onsite and inputted my reg in the iPads provided.
I also contacted the gym via email (as we were in lockdown) who advised that they cannot provide the registration log, nor can they provide CCTV footage of me using said iPad to enter my registration.
Minster Baywatch rejected my appeal as they essentially can't take my word for it that I followed the correct procedure for parking.
I contacted the British Parking Association, as advised by the gym manager, who are affiliated with Minster Baywatch who took over a week and a half with me chasing 3 times (despite their website advising that they will respond in 3 working days) to be told that they do not assist with individual claims.
I have since spoken to the gym manager again who advised that Minster Baywatch own the iPads and they are trying to get the same privileges as the other businesses on site to cancel tickets however thr notice is outside the 14 day time frame required.
I responded to Minster Baywatch to advise that it is not within the 14 day period they are supposed to issue the notice, and that it is their responsibility if their is a fault with their equipment, who came back to me as follows
'Whilst the Notice to Keeper letter was sent outside of PoFa timeframes, as you admitted liability as the Driver of the vehicle within your initial appeal to ourselves, we will therefore be holding you liable as the Driver of the vehicle.'
Can they do this?
They also got my name completely wrong on their email, despite my email address and signing off with my name.
They have advised if I'm unhappy with their response to take it up with POPLA but have not provided the rejection verification code I need to take it further to POPLA.
Any help would be much appreciated as my fine will now have increased to the £100.
Thanks
