Whereas as has been said already - ignore the private chancers.

Excuse the choice of website but it came up first in Google search.
It may simply be that he decided to engage with them rather than ignoring all their communications.
I wrote to say I would be contesting it and never heard anything back.
Which was nice

When you use a private car park, you are entering into a contract, so the penalty is chased under contract law, as breach of contract. The terms are set out on the notice in the car park - basically, you park here for x time, for y fee and if you breach these terms, there is a penalty due. The penalty has to be reasonable and they have to give you an early payment penalty discount, with a mx penalty of £100.
So, the case in question, was the plaintiff challenging the penalty saying it was unfair etc. THe judge said that if he found in favour of the plaintiff it would potentially render all private car park charges unenforceable, so he set the precedent by finding for the car park firm.
This now means that in England and Wales, your chances of gettting away with a ticket penalty, if it goes to court, are much slimmer than they used to be.
So unless it's the council or police, they are not fines. They can however pursue the "invoice" in civil claims against you, albeit unlikely.
