MET CCTV PCN - Occupants Left Carpark - Appealed - Starbucks (closed) 346 SouthGate Park, Stansted, CM24 1PY

[Spiritual Alchemist]

Hi All

 

Help or advice needed please.

I just received a parking charge for Southgate Park.

I did not receive the original charge.

Therefore I am out of the 28 days to appeal.

now I have to pay the £100.

I called them to let them know that I had paid the airport charge, the lady told me to put it in writing.

as I was sending them a email, I googled them, then I realised that it was for Macdonald's, Starbucks.

I parked at Starbucks, as they were closed I walked over to Macdonald's etc.

 I haven't seen this site, I have just emailed them, telling them that I was the driver and what I did.

Am I screwed and do I now just need to pay the charge and put in down to experiences. or can I just ignore the letters ?

With much gratitude in advance

The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024

The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).

Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above

-  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport"

Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024

I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay. 

This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay.

I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam

My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport.

The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds)
There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules.

Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit. 

So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome..

With gratitude
