Private parking tickets / Re: UKPC charge: Overstayed in MacDonalds. Didn't receive first 2 charge letters

I understand what you're saying, but am very nervous of the cost mounting up the longer we ignore the letters - we can't afford the higher costs if we end up having to pay.

I'm hoping to be able to reduce the fee.

Hi,

Apologies - by 'we' I mean my boyfriend received the letters (we live together) and he is the registered keeper of the car.

We are trying to fight the charges because they have gone up by a huge amount, despite our not receiving the initial letter or second warning letter. My boyfriend was also away over the time both first two letters were allegedly sent and I would never open his post.

How can we best fight this do you think?

I am a little confused by what you mean - 'opening post suggests that cat is already out of the bag. However, this being Scotland, and a single ticket, it is unlikely to lead to any litigation'.

Thanks very much.

No worries at all - unfortunately yes we have.

Here is the latest letter we have received (attached).

Whats the best way we can fight it - We don't want to leave it and then end up with double or triple the charges! Ideally, we get the charge reduced to the original, discounted fee that we never received.

Do you think this is possible?

Many thanks,
M & A

Private parking tickets / UKPC charge: Overstayed in MacDonalds. Didn't receive first 2 charge letters

Good morning,

I wonder if someone might be able to help. My boyfriend parked in MacDonalds in Livingston, Scotland for 1hr 47mins while he waited for me in my hospital appointment. He ordered food and worked while he stayed inside the MacDonalds.

He didn't realise there was a parking limit and overstayed by 17 minutes. A few days ago we received a final notice (we didn't receive the first two letters - initially £100 reduced to £50 with early repayment).

He is now being charged £170 and we are trying to fight it since we didn't receive the first two letters - we live in a communal stairway where post can be moved by other residents.

We also were away travelling during this time.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
M & A
