Parking fine
« on: »
I received a parking fine from 3 years ago.  Ive contacted the debt collection company and asked them to put the debt on hold whilst i look into it. Ive also contacted the private parking company asking for any evidence.  Received the evidence today, and yes we did use the car park for 27 minutes!, and apparently they sent our fine the week after. We never received any fine or reminders, and the first we heard about this fine was 3 years later, were do i stand? some people say they should of issued the fine within 14 days??? If we'd received the fine at the time, we would of just paid it, but now its alot more, and on top of that reading the reviews of this particular parking comapny they are cowbys

First things first read the protocols on posting. If you have no original PCN you will need a SAR request for all enquiries and information held including PCN and follow up requests. It is strange but not unheard of for debt collectors to go straight to the Registered Keeper by other means. Is your  V 5 C up to date and correct or have you moved within 3 years. Hopefully you have not blabbed who was driving. Post up the information and avoid contact with debt recovery people.

By the way it is not a fine but an invoice.

Yes, the invoice is for payment under the contract the driver entered into by reading the signs and accepting the terms by parking. A claim for breach of contract against the driver can be pursued for six years. If the driver has been identified (for example, the keeper used phrases such as "I parked") then that's the case. If the driver has not been identified, liability can be transferred to the registered keeper, but only if the provisions of the Protections of Freedoms Act 2012 are complied with, one of which being that the notice to the registered keeper must arrive within 14 days.
