Hi.
I used a SIP car park last November recommended by the hotel i was staying in,it was for one night so 24 hours parking was fine i parked my car at 1.15pm i tried cash first to no avail so i tried my debit card 3 or 4 times the machine kept saying declined by this time a queue had formed, a few other people tried cash then card they had no luck either i then decided to phone the helpline the number on the notice board to see if i could by phone but it was a automated service saying i could not pay by phone so I walked back to the hotel which was about 400 yards away i told them the situation they said try downloading a parking app which I did.by this time a half hour had passed i then booked the parking for 24 hours at 1.45pm.I came back to the car the next day around 1.35pm so i was in my 24 hour parking time.2 weeks later i got a £60 parking fine saying i was 26 minutes over my 24 hour period.I tried everything possible to obtain a parking ticket at the time i drove in but it was out of my hands i appealed and my appeal was declined they said i could appeal again through IAS which i did but my appeal was also declined by them aswell saying i was 26 minutes over my time.i think this decision was totally unfair i still have not paid the fine which has risen to £115.Do you think i should bite the bullet and pay or take the matter further any help would be appreciated.Thank you mitchy
