Hi all - looking for some advice,
I received an email on 6th September from my lease company of a parking fine they had receieved with a few details. On the email it says that they have contacted NCP and provided my name and address details so they can re-issue the fine so I left it naturally until I received the letter.
I never received a letter and have only just remembered I haven't, I had a check of my email again and saw that they included a reference number which I've then punched into the NCP website and it's come up with £100 fine because my discount period has expired. It also says that my fine was issues 16 September yet I never received any letter nor chasers.
I accept that I was over my time (should have realised that it was an ANPR car park system!) but I never received anything through the post.
Yes, there was a reference number that I could have paid it there and then if I really wanted to but I just glanced at the bit where it said a fine will be re-issued and left it at that. That's also probably my fault - but if I can save £50 I will try!
Should I appeal that I didn't receive any letter notification (do I have grounds for it?) and ask for an extended discount period? Or just pay the £100 and be done with it?
Thanks
