Parking Ticket - Notice of Enforcement

[Marc p]

Hi Guys,

Hoping you can help and offer advice here.

I received a 'Notice of Enforcement' from the local council today, saying that I owe them £188.00 for an unpaid parking ticket. Apparently it's for parking in a disabled bay with no disabled badge from back in July last year, now I have never parked in a disabled bay, never had a parking ticket left in the car in question and I haven't seen any forms of communication to me until this letter showed up.


So I have just had a phone call with the council and they said that on their notes there was no parking ticket put on the car and no photo's taken as I left before the traffic warden got a chance to put one on the car or take a photo of the car(sounds iffy to me). However, they also said I'm too late to contest and have to pay before they take further measures to collect.

Am I stuffed here? I just feel it's a little unfair as I had no ticket and despite what they say, I have seen no letters, just a demand for £188.00.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

If there's no proof of a ticket being issued to you then can't see why you need to pay??

Their saying that I had 28 days to contest it from a 'Notice to Owner' letter that they sent to me in the post, although I have never seen any letter.
