Good Morning,
I am currently seeking some advice as I have been sent a letter from HM Courts & Tribunals Service from DCB LEGAL LTD
I am a new blue badge holder and have received my first one of many pcn's for the same carpark ( Walsall waterfront) I was diagnosed with breast cancer in July and have been very sick and have proof of major surgeries between then and present. I was given my blue badge due to help with parking at the hospital and assumed with this blue badge it was free to park as long as I was in a marked disabled bay with my blue badge on display.
Every time I parked on this particular carpark I did not read the signage as I was genuinely unaware some carparks still can charge you even with a blue badge. I appealed to POPLA but this was denied and I am now trying to sort out my defence;
If I accept this charge I will then have to pay the others also so I am doing my best to try and plead my case as I just cant afford to pay this right now. This PCN in particular was a day before major surgery I do not feel I would have even looked around as I was only there to get essentials for hospital. The stress is impacting my health massively, I am very weak and trying my best to complete the forms within 14 days - letter is dated 20th Jan
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
