here we go...

whats a PPC?

also- i didnt notice the bit about county court- where is it?

I will go back and have a look!

and am going to try taking photos now and putting them up!

thank you so much!

dw 190- thank you, i noticed the same thing, but was keen to be sure...

surfer- im so cross with myself, i think i threw it away last month when i was goingthrough paperwork- thinking, it had been 3 months, and no word. :s

yep, wrote this in the letter i sent originally- and in the original letter, asked taht someone come back to me.

since i didnt hear back- i assumed they had taken my point and the matter was resolved...

Do you know the conditions under which their claim to fine me is legitimate?

as in the owner of the car park?

Can i not dispute as byelaw 14 refers to obstructions- which i didnt cause?

hiya- org ticket, like original? honestly, im not sure, but this one is:

'London and South Eastern Railway Limited trading as Debt recovery and Prosecution Services'

(in small print at the bottom of the letter!)

Do they have any legitiamte claim?

hi surfboy- it says that it is now too late to appeal- but when i first recieved the notice on my car that day, i sent an appeal letter- to which noone responded!

HELP!

Back in April at the Rainham Kent train station I parked my car.

Due to poor parking by the car next to me, my car was at a slight angle, meaning i was crossing the white line slightly.

I returned to find a £45 penalty notice,

which I was furious about

- especially since I had paid to park for the day,

and was at the furthest end of the car park in any case.

I wrote a letter, explaining that I had paid to park and the circumstances of my parking.

Today I received a letter saying that under

"Railway Byelaw 14, a Parking Charge Notice number was issued because the vehicle was allegedly involved in teh following parking not parked correctly within a marked bay at Rainham Railway Station Car Park

.....

It is now too late to pay the 50% discounted rate or appeal.

The parking charge now due is £90 and this must be paid in accordance with the instructions below within 14 days of the date of this letter.

if you fail to pay this charge in full within 14 days, the charge will increase to £165.

Further failure to pay the increased amount will result in a Magistrates Court Summons against you under Railway Byelaws

and may result in a Court fine of up to £1000 in addition to any compensation or court costs.

A collection order may be made by the court to recover any unpaid penalties.'
