euro car parks ticket

[tlsa66]

Hi all, I have been reading with interest and some relief with regard to parking fine re-inforcement. However, my son recently got a parking ticket for overstaying in a town centre car park owned by euro car parks, the fine was for £70 if paid within 7 days and £90 if delayed. I suggested he appealed the fine (thinking I was being helpful) and the appeal was rejected, he appealed on the grounds that he was delayed leaving work due to the late arrival of another employee, he is a student and only works a few hours a week, so it was a fine he could do without.

Today we have received the appeal rejected letter and have noticed that they have recorded his car registration details incorrectly.

 

I would love some advice with regard to our next step, should we send the template letter from here or write again saying it is not his car?

I presume the ticket was not issued by ECP on behalf of your local council? If so, then you have already communicated with them too much. If you had found CAG first, we could have told you what the result of your "appeal" to ECP would have been and saved you the cost of ta stamp!

 

As from now

 

Do not write to them

Do not telephone them

Do not respond to any of their scamvoices

Do not pay them

needless to say

 

as with all other private car park INVOICES

ignore them

 

it is NOT a fine

 

the only ones you need to pay are those from councils/police that say

 

PENALTY CHARGE NOTICE

 

if it don't sat exactly and just that - ignore them

 

do some rwading in this forum.

Thanks very much. I have been reading through the forum and am feeling like a bit of a numpty for writing to them in the first place. It is definitely a private car park owned by Euro Car parks, so I will ignore all future correspondence. It was two stamps by the way, because they asked for a SAE for their reply! More haste less speed in future, I think.

Thanks again.

cheeky buggers!

At least Euro might now waste £2.50 by contacting the DVLA.

...and all for nothing if they had incorrectly recorded the registration number. Unless of course the OP put them right in the appeal letter?

 

The outcome remains the same though. Prepare for the merry-go-round of threats and ignore them!

Cheers all, we didn't mention the car reg. on our appeal letter so maybe we won't hear anything else - fingers crossed.
