Just recieved an email this morning containing a .PDF from a parking management company with a £100 fine in it, with no reduced rate.

Taken 2 months to reach me after supposedly being sent to the company car leasing company, which then got forwarded to my company this morning who are of course passing onto me. (Car is used only for work projects which I am sent to.)

I was given an email a day before arriving which said "Park in Bay H, it's booked from X until Y time." Needless to say, I parked where I was allocated, went to reception and they sent me away to do what I was there for. No word of a parking permit to put in the car or anything, even though they knew I had driven.

Walked out, big yellow ticket on the windscreen, typical. Spoke to them before I left, "Oh yes, sorry about that, it's been cancelled." (evidently it was not cancelled..)

Anyone had experience in disputing these? I have plenty of evidence to show I parked where I was told, and not a word of it said I need to get any form of permit for my windscreen.

speak to 'them' again and get them to cancel it?

Have spoke to the building administration who said "once it's gone out we can't cancel it, but I will speak to them and try", so goodness knows what that will result with.

Have got a dispute email written up already to go to the parking management company(or "swines").

pass it back to your employer. if you weren't made aware of parking restrictions let them deal with it.

If they're a third party then that won't be of any use. If your employer was contracted out by this company to do some work, then really they should be forwarding the fine back to them to pay it or get it cancelled.
 
The parking company are a customer of your client, so as stated above, they can get it cancelled. That person who said it can't is likely being lazy or just doesn't know how to raise the issue.

This scenario is regularly won in the driver's favour from what i've read in the past.

The ticket is an invoice, not a fine. Last time i looked, payment dates will pause upon you contesting the so called breach of contract. If you followed all the rules, you are not in breach of the contract and do not need to pay. The parking company wouldn't dare lose money in court if you sufficient evidence.
