Thank you for replying so quickly. I am very appreciative. I will follow your instructions and like the other peoples I just ignore any letters that Athena will send me. I hope, fingers crossed, they do not take me to the court. Cheers

2 days ago I received a parking tiket from Athena ANPR LTD for £90 or £45 if paid within 14 days, for parking in Lidl/Iceland car park which had an hour and a half limit. I was 38 minutes over as thought it was a 3 hour limit like on the tesco car park. I send them email back with appeal. And that is what i write to Athena: I would like to appeal for (if that possible) retire debt. I came from holiday that day in the morning. I thought i can make some shoping at this time in the morning and visit my friend. As i seen the Lidl is closed i went stright to my friend which stay very close to this place. I thought as i am working at tesco i have at least 3 hours to move my car from this parking. I spent a lot money at Lidl as is cheaper even with my previlege card which i owned from tesco. I have family, 3 year old son and i am the only one who make money. If it is not possible to retire debt could you reduce payment to 20 pounds as 45 pound for 38.02 minutes is a huge ammount. (might be not easy to understand as i am polish and I try to write as best as i can) Next day I found this forum and I was angry because I should just ignored them instead appeal. My question is because of my statement(appeal) i send to Athena. Follow from the contents that i was the driver. Can i still refuse to pay this charge.
