Parking Charge Fine 4 Months After Offence

[magnum555]

I've received a parking charge notice from parking eye for overstaying in a car park, the date it happened was on 10/03/2016 and the date the fine has been issued to me was 16/07/2016.

I was using a hire car at the time and and the hire company sent me a letter originally in march advising they had received a parking charge notice and would be passing my details onto the company. They advised parking eye will send a parking charge notice to me directly. Didn't receive anything from them until last week.

Is this a valid parking charge notice due to the fact it was issued to me more than 4 months after the date of the offence?

How much is the fine?

The fact you were over by only 20mins is irrelevant - if there was a limit and you exceeded it then it's time to cough up and stop trying to wriggle.

They issue time allotments to keep customers flowing and stop people just using a 'free' car park.

Take the medicine and move on; is it really worth all the messing about?

If they haven't followed procedure then I will try to wriggle out of paying the fine.
