F'sticks - Parking Charge!

[NorthWestPerm2Contr]

I already said that they are only entitled to their losses while you occupied the parking space, and the costs involved in recovering those losses.

Exactly my point! But as they are not willing to quantify their losses (it must exclude all unrelated costs such as staff and other fixed costs) they effectively don't have a case to charge you anymore than what was asked if you in the first place and even that is debatable!

Not private car parks I'm afraid. Private car parks have their own legislation and they are not to be treated the same as council car parks.

MSE (Private Parking Tickets: fight unfair charges - Money Saving Expert) says:

It is important to understand that with private parking tickets it's the owner of the car, not the driver, who's liable. Therefore parking companies will often send a 'Notice to Keeper' to the owner of the car. This is a formal parking charge notice sent to the registered keeper of the vehicle.

Dear Dan,

As a gesture of goodwill the PCN will be cancelled and we will waive the parking fee due to your continued customer. In future please ensure that you purchase a valid ticket/ringgo session prior to leaving your car parked.

Kind Regards,

Easy!

I won't argue with that. Although Dhoog mentioned a deterrent. I'm of two minds, but I think in this case no deterrent is needed - it seems like a situation where everyone should get what's owed to them, rather tun a situation where someone needs to be punished for something.
