Hi all

had a charge from smart parking for insufficient fee ,

i showed my ticket via email ,

they then said incorrect reg mark ,

i entered the numbers not full reg,

now they sent debt recovery plus letters saying if it don't get paid they will issue court proceedings.

Im currently trying to remortgage and don't want any ccj on my file which my hamper my chances ,

is this their scare tactics or are they genuine ,

this happened on fantasy island car park in skegness back in may this year

thanks for reading

It's not a fine it's an invoice, could you answer these questions please on the link below

and read the letter PROPERLY

nowhere do they use WILL

and its not a fine

Peter , Smart Parking are not that smart so don't worry. Whether you showed all your reg no. or not you still paid for your ticket so there was no loss and thus they cannot win in Court.

Even should the case get to Court and you were to lose, provided you pay whatever the fine is within one month you will not get a CCJ so no effect on getting your mortgage from these idiots.

fine?

Did you keep your ticket, or proof of payment for it? Your reg details do not matter if you bought a ticket. Doesnt matter what smart parking say.

So waht did the letter they sent originally calim you had done wrong?

they cant just change their mind and invent a new condition to suit themselves, if it isnt on the NTK then it didnt happen so incomplete reg is a dead duck.

As for the insfficient fee, you ticket will conform if that is a possibility, if you paid the prescribed fee then they cant demand anything.

Ignore the rentathreats DR+ they have no say in any matter EVER.

hi yes i still have my ticket i purchased from the machine

The original letter states smart park has the right to seek payment the parking charge for unathorised parking of the vehicle on the land of the relevant date as owner of the land on the basis of a contractual right to occupy or have possession of the land or acting as agent of the landowner

then goes on to say not purchasing appropriate parking time or staying at carpark longer than permitted

i appealed online through smart park website to say I've paid

there a copy of my ticket

they then said incorrect registration mark ,

and as its non on they have now passed onto to debt recovery plus

ignore

Pity they lied in that letter . And you have full proof. So keep that ticket safe. They wont ever do court, but make sur eyou keep it just in case theyre stupid enough to try.
