OK, I'll get some photos and upload them
I've had a look at the council planning application website and cannot find any application's either current or historic for signs using the name or postcode of the car park- I take it that's a good thing

Hello All, Thanks for your input so far
Having followed your collective advice to do nothing, Today I received a final demand in the post for £100 from OPS. I imagine you have seen these letters before which essentially says it needs to be paid within 14 days or they may pass the debt to a solicitor for legal action and possible additional costs
What's your advice as to my next move ?
Thanks in advance

appeals don't work, I guessed as much as you are really only asking for lenience or some compassion to the specific circumstance and I assume their stock answer is to hide be their rules stated on the notices in the car park.
They indicate in the event of non payment it 'may' result in enforcement action which many include debt recovery or court proceedings. I don't fancy the idea of debt collectors at the door or court proceedings damaging my credit scores etc.
When you say wait and see, what are the likely or typical outcomes in these cases, I assume the charge will rise to at least the £100 they state plus additional costs
Thanks

Hello, I was suitably disgruntled when I received the attached NTK from the notorious OPS who I see have been taking people for disproportionate sums of money for several years especially in and around the Brighton area.
On this occasion I used their facility to safely unload and load a bike to the nearby cycle store which took longer than it need to due to COVID distancing measures meaning I needed to queue and adhere to one customer in the shop rules in order to complete the handover,
What should have taken 5 mins turned into 17 mins. I can understand that they are doing their job and if you blatantly use a facility for longer term parking purposes and don't pay then a fine is probably appropriate but this seems excessive and has prompted me to join this forum and ask for any help to counter the charge. Thanks in advance. Form completed below and NTK uploaded
