Hi, I holiday in Polzeath every year and last November (2024) i recieved a letter from Alliance chasing me for payment of a parking charge that ocurred in August 2022.
Back then i received three "PCN's after the holiday claiming id parked illegally three times over the course of the week we were there. This is risduculous as each time we simply drove in anbd out and decided not to park. On one occassion, my wide popped to a shop to grab something which meant we were in the car park for 12 minutes. The other two times we simply drove in and out and didnt even select a parking bay.
I chose to pay two of the three as a gesture but i dont believe we owed them anything at all. But as we did linger for 12 mins on one occasion i felt that id go some way to make a gesture, hoping it would be enough. But no.
two years later, a letter arrived (Nov 24) chasing me for the third PCN (i know they are not PCNs) - I have been getting harassed by Trace and Moorside legal ever since.
I am refusing to pay them any more monies for simply driving in an out of the car park, it is unnacceptable.
Today i have received a letter of Claim from moorside legal still chasing down the £170 elevated fine for the third PCN.
I appealed the original tickets and Alliance naturally refused the appeal, and are now threatening court for this third unpaid ticket. I believe on that occasion we literally drove in and out because we couldn't find a space.
I would be very grateful of your thoughts on my situation.
