TVB, is there a difference with it being a hospital?

Don't know mate. But if it's a private company I would take no notice. I got one and explained that two of there machine's would not take money and no shop would giver change. They just doubled the money from £60 to £120. I have ignored them for two years then a private debt collection company started sending threatening letters. I have just ignored them and they have stopped now.

It is a private car park, so different laws apply. If a policeman or Council employee book you then you have problems, make your mitigation plea by all means but they can take you to court. The Private Land "vultures" don't have a leg to stand on, they are pirates. Don't pay, over the years I have received two such notices, I have ignored them and eventually they have eventually gone away. Like I say laws on private land differ from the highway.

Please got to Martin Money Tips, there is a section on this subject.....very interesting.

Make sure you put half a day aside to read it all though. There is about 150 pages about it.

Thanks for this l-r, much appreciated.

I've fired off my appeal (my daughter was using my car, paid the fee but entered wrong reg no) and told them I consider the case closed. If they come back again I won't be entertaining them.
