Private parking tickets / PCN - paid at wrong machine
« on: April 03, 2024, 05:22:30 pm »
Hi all,
I have received a PCN from a private parking company - Smart parking. I visited Tk maxx in Bury which is on a retail park. I got out and paid for parking at - what I thought - was the nearest and correct parking machine. I went about my business and thought nothing else of it. Around 3 weeks later I received the PCN stating that I had not paid for sufficient parking time.
Upon researching this I have come to the realization that the "nearest" parking machine I had paid at was in fact a part of another - adjoining - car park and was operated by another company - Bury Council.
In my opinion, this is too easy a mistake to make as where I parked was literally in front of the parking machine I paid at.
Any help or advice as to any defense I can use with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
