Ha, they've tracked down my home address now, just had the missus phone me telling me they're up to £120... not sure whether they used the DVLA, or just checked the records with Whitecap on my permit. (I believe they are connected to Whitecap, but could be wrong). Quite tempted to send them a cease & desist letter (really just to ease my other half's mind - she's worried we'll end up with bailiff's on the door)

Yeah. I've just secured a job back home in east anglia, so won't even be at my contact address much longer, so they would have to go to the DVLA to get information.

Done. Thanks.

Here is also my initial letter to Napier, which in hindsight, I probably shouldn't have sent. I have basically admitted I was the driver. ------------------------------------------------ Napier Parking Limited PO Box 263 Alton GU34 9EU 18 March 2008 Re: Penalty Charge Notice No. WL000### Dear Sir I am appealing the above penalty charge notice attached to vehicle ##### on ## March 2008. The charge notice was issued for: (01) Failure to display a valid Pay and Display ticket. However, it is not necessary to display a pay & display ticket for this car park in all circumstances. In this case I am a Willen Lake permit holder, issued by Whitecap Leisure, permit number ###. Also, I contest the time stated on the ticket, as being observed between 14:00 and 14:05. I was actually in the WakeMK building for a brief period of time, but returned to my vehicle before 14:05. I would therefore appreciate it if you would cancel the above notice, given the inconsistencies noted above. Yours faithfully

I left the letter at home - I work away in the week, not too far from MK which is why I was at Willlen Lake. So far Napier only have my weekday digs as my correspondence address, not my home address. I will get a scan of the letter emailed to me, and then get the text up. Below is the PCN (I have removed my vehicle details & the PCN No.

Any update? I am just about to send my second letter to Napier, but am now a lot more informed than I was at the time of the first letter. One factor is that they didn't actually affix the PCN to my vehicle, the parking attendant handed it to me, which I believe is in breach of the code of conduct? They use words like "Penalty" & "Offence" which as I believe as they are a PPC is not the case. Also, their PCN is in the style of those issued by local authorities, and not the sample parking ticket shown on the BPA website. Also, I am a permit holder. My stance is that my permit was attached to the vehicle, while their stance is that it was not displayed, and that their definition of "failure to display a valid pay & display ticket" includes parking permits. I will put the onus on them to supply evidence of reasonable cause, including photographic evidence, that I was in breach of contract. I have not admitted any liability of failing to display properly. I doubt this will be the last of it, but we shall see.
