Napier FCN - wrong reg - Willen lake car park milton keynes MK15 0DS

[HarrisJ]

Hi there,

 

I have today received the attached letter from Napier parking. I park regularly at this car park while playing 5 a side. on this occasion a friend of mine paid for parking via JustPark, however the app defaulted and added the incorrect vehicle reg number. so essentially we paid but not for that car. 

 

to be honest I thing given the chance i would have paid the 30-40 quid they would have wanted originally however we are now over a month since the ticket was issued (via ANPR not physically on windscreen) and i am only now just receiving correspondence after their period to appeal or pay the reduced fee. 

 

Any advice please? 

 

will attach anything i have below

You shouldn't be even considering paying these fleecers £30-£40 (more likely they will have demanded £60).

 

Wrong registration number cases are the easiest to fight.  The PPCs have, on occasion, tried court, and every time the judge has found for the motorist.  The matter is "de minimis" AKA "the law does not deal with trivialities".  You paid - and can prove it.  The PPC suffered no loss.  The incorrect registration number is a triviality.

 

Simply ignore any tripe they send you, but come back here if they ever send a Letter Before Claim/Letter Before Action.

 

If a month has passed it's highly likely they've been too lazy to respect the legal time frame for sending these tickets out.  Please fill in this sticky to give us the details

 

And please repost your attachments, but properly redacted this time.

Thanks for the heads up, now redacted crudely on my phone.

This is a reminder letter.  Did they send an early letter which they would have called a PCN, on 7 April, which should also show photos of the vehicle?

[HarrisJ]

I have had no previous correspondence regarding any issues this is the first I am hearing of it.

As the above letter is all you have received are you sure that you are being chased because of a wrong reg .no.?

[HarrisJ]

upon receiving the above letter I checked the booking confirmation I had for the parking and it had reverted to an old car reg stored in the app. That reg is different to that which is quoted in the letter from Napier.

As explained in post 5, legally they don't have a leg to stand on.  Relax.

 

As a silly aside I looked at the Napier site, and they've included details of a couple of ancient court cases which they actually won.  There's a reference to our very own Ericsbrother!
