i drove to Chelmsford, and my friend advised me to shop at Lidl there,

Normally I shop at a Tesco in my local area,

My friend advised that Aldi is way cheaper..

On getting there the weather was changing, I had my very young son who has lots of airways and breathing issues,

 

i was in the shop for quiet a while as i was not familiar with the lay outs , and brands,

by the time I finished it was raining heavily , i did not have an umbrella with me, decided to to wait a bit for the rain to ease out as I didnt want to subject my little son to this ,

 

Apparently there is a maximum 1hr 30mins parking, I spent  1hr 55mins ..

To be honest I did not notice the parking warning signs in the car park as the weather was bad .. until i received the PCN (photo evidence ).

 

I have appealed but they declined,

I attached My Son's Great Ormond street hospital letters as he even had appointments within days of the contravention,

I also attached Aldi proof of purchase receipt. 

 

I did n't realise until last week when i was going through the appeal response again that They referred me to POPLA .

by that time the Popla timing has lapsed.

 

I appealed again, with more explanation and hospital letters and proposed to pay the initial £45..

I received their email today insisting that I now owe £70 and must pay .

 

Below is their response. 

 

Dear Sir / Madam,

 

Thank you for your correspondence in relation to the Parking Charge incurred on 16 February 2020 at 13:36, at Aldi Chelmsford Parkway car park.

 

We recently sent you correspondence, informing you that the above Parking Charge remains outstanding and has now been processed for further action. This is because we understand you did not complete an appeal to POPLA within the period stated in our notice of rejection.

 

ParkingEye provided all relevant information that would have allowed you to make an appeal to POPLA and had you done so, we believe any questions you may have held would have been answered.

 

We must therefore inform you that the amount of £70.00 remains outstanding from you.

If payment is not received, this case will be reviewed for further action which may include referral to a Credit Reference Agency to confirm the correct address, instruction of solicitors to secure payment, referral to debt recovery or the issuing of court proceedings, all of which will incur further costs.

 

Yours faithfully,

ParkingEye Legal Dept.

 

(Payment can be made by telephoning our offices on 0330 555 4444 or by visiting www.parkingeye.co.uk or by posting a cheque or postal order to the address detailed below (you must quote the above reference on the reverse of the cheque or postal order).
