Wife has received a PCN demanding £80 for parking on the other side of the country from a month ago. The letter suggests the parking company has found our detail from the DVLA but has not provided detail (photos, length of stay etc) just the registration number an time/location of the vehicle .
It is going to be impossible for her/us to prove she was anywhere since the car has been parked up at the alleged time and both of us normally walk places from home.
In order to put this to rest without things escalating I'm going to have to retrace steps and look through works paperwork, phone call slips and other stuff to see if I can identify where one, or both of us were, but from the letter there are only two options, confirm she was not driving at the time (which she couldn't have been), or pay the amount. Both are financial outlays.
In the meantime I expect the discounted period will have lapsed as it falls in a few days.
I really want to be able to invoice this 'company' for my/our time and the inconvenience., since in the letter they don't want representations, or proof of ownership since they have already got this from their own search, just the payment by return. How feasible is getting money out of these leeches ?
