Hi! I received a parking ticket for a private car park in April. According to the website, you're allowed to park for up to 4hours if you go to the cinema - I did visit the cinema but didn't realise I had to validate my ticket (only just got my license so didn't know much about parking :/) so they assumed I visited the shopping centre where the limit is 2 hours; I stayed for 2 hours and 4 mins.I don't live at my home address full time so didn't see the letters and didn't know how much it had escalated - I assumed they just let it go...I've spoken to them and they have said if I pay now, they will remove the CCJ from my credit score so I've done that.Do you think I have a case if I go to smalls claims court to appeal and get a refund? I was legally parked but I am aware I technically breached the rules by not validating. There is no clear signage that I was aware of when I parked telling customers about the validation process etc.
