No joy so far with this on uk.legal so I wonder what folks on here think about this parking ticket issue.
Just got a charge certificate out of the blue from Vinci Park Services on behalf of my local council demanding £120 for a parking offence committed 4 months ago (I assume £80 plus non-payment surcharge), and this is the first I've heard of it. No ticket was issued at the time (but could have been a camera I suppose), and the Notice to Owner allegedly sent on 5th October was never received. Net result as things stand is I lose the right to pay the original amount, or to challenge the ticket. Strangely, this thing arrived in a plain envelope, size 8 font, cunningly disguised as junk mail. Anyone know any legal stuff about all this?
