Title: Incomplete car registration
Post by: dmdavey on January 06, 2026, 02:12:00 pm

Hi, Last year I received a Private Parking charge notice from Napier Parking.  It stated i had not purchased a ticket.
Luckily I had the parking ticket.  I appealed to them with a copy of the parking ticket and copy of bank statement showing i had paid, they came back stating i had not adhered to their contract and had not entered the full car registration.  The ticket showed only the first 2 letters of the reg.

I'm 100% sure i had entered the correct reg but obvioulsy cannot be sure some months later.   they offered to reduce the fine, but i was sure i was in the right and agasint an appeal, surely common sense would provail.  I appealed to the IAS, but again they dismissed my appeal on the same grounds.

I have now received a letter from BW Legal wanting to help me settle the £170.

At no time have i admitted been the driver of the vehicle.  any help would be appreciated as i'm sure this case should be dropped.
