So the receptionist said it was the owner of the land that’s responsible, I’d be asking for their details and contacting them. It’s not that unusual for GPS practices to rent their premises...

We had this at our doctors.
One day my elderly father forgot to enter his details in the system when it first started. I asked the receptionist for a copy of his appointment details, I appealed the fine saying he was elderly and forgot to put his reg in, I attached a photo of his appointment slip on the appeal and they let him off. I’ve done it for him when he put a digit wrong for his reg on the system and he got let off with that as well. Try to appeal

How is it appalling that the surgery has employed a private parking company? In this case, if you are a genuine visitor to the doctors Surgery, all you have to do is register when you went into the building, and as a genuine patient you get no charge. It has been said there was lots of signs in the car park advising this, in this case the OP has advised that her DH did not notice these, which was unfortunate, so the system issues an penalty invoice.
This system is obviously set up to help visiting patients find a parking space, which may have otherwise been taken by others using the car park but not the Surgery. I think, in this circumstance, the parking system in operation assists genuine patients, some of whom may have mobility problems. Totally different to the parking enforcers who charge for a few minutes over time. My opinion, specifically on this case not parking in general. |

Ignore it if you have evidence of parking for a legitimate purpose and have appealed with that evidence. You have received an invoice, not a fine and if they did decide to try to take you to court it would get thrown out at that level.
Have a look on the Peppipoo and money saving forums for more detailed advice if you want to think about this route. |

My opinion stays the samE. I've had the letters through the door threatening that they are sending the bailiffs. If they send this to an elderly patient who cannot afford to pay - do you think they'll care? I agree with Bondy - they are vermin

I am in the 'Just pay' camp seeing as like you said, there were signs up everywhere very annoying but very little you can do x

Write back to them telling them you reject their rejection of your appeal. You had valid grounds to be parked there for free. They didn’t suffer any material loss from you being parked there as if you had registered you wouldn’t have paid anyway. It’s ridiculous that they didn’t retract the fine after you produced evidence that you used the car park for its intended purpose.

Here’s my take - for what it’s worth. I would pay the lower charge but in an accompanying letter stress that the payment is being made ‘without prejudice’ and that you intend to appeal to POPLA.
You can then appeal but still only pay the lower charge if the appeal is unsuccessful. If successful, claim the charge back. JMO |

If you want to pay offer a reduced amount that is appropriate and similar for the amount of time that local car parks charge, say £1 per hour. They can only get you to pay if they take you to court and if you lost then its highly likely that the Judge would reduce the charge any way as it has to be appropriate so.
I had something similar happen where the Dennys near us is, the car park was free for the previous company but I got a "charge" so emailed Dennys and they got it dropped. I told Dennys that I wasn't going to either if they didn't do anything.
