I know you've had queries on private parking contractors before, but this one's a bit different. On Friday 12 February I parked at Leigh Delamere Westbound Services on the M4. Knowing I would exceed the 2-hour limit, I rang the phone number quoted on the notice boards (for a company called Ringco) and quoted the 'Location Number'. Ringco did not have a record of the location, and had never heard of Leigh Delamere. All my attempts to find another way of paying failed (asking for a Duty Manager, hunting for any other phone numbers etc), so I had to leave my car with an explanatory note, while I went to my meeting. I have just received a 'Parking Charge Notice' from a company called CP Plus requesting £90, or £50 if paid within 28 days. The Leigh Delamere people must know that their notices are wrong, yet are fining people. So either they are just incompetent, or this is a deliberate scam. Most people would I suspect grit their teeth and pay to avoid trouble, but is it reasonable to fine motorists for not paying, when there was no means of paying? Should I protest, if so how, and do I have a reasonable chance of winning - or should I just roll over?
