Hi all, my gym recently introduced a parking permit system with 5 hours free parking per visit. I thought I had a valid permit, but it turns out I hadn’t signed up to Evology and linked a payment card.
The signage at the car park doesn’t mention needing an Evology account—only a link to the permit application, which I completed. The website said my permit was valid, so I assumed I was covered.
Weeks later, I received multiple fines from Parkingeye at my family address (where my car is registered) for parking at the gym. Appeals to Parkingeye were rejected, and the gym says they can’t help as they don’t own the land. I’ve now set up Evology and haven’t received further fines.
Is there any legal ground to contest these fines, or should I just pay? The total is several hundred pounds, which I can’t afford.
Thanks in advance.
