Authorities not sympathetic
I read your article on page 6 on March 30 about Maggie Pinnell’s experience at the Polegate car park with interest.
It was a de-ja vu moment, as it was practically the same experience I had when I also mis-parked in the town car park and paid for the ticket at the station car park ticket machine.

Hide AdI did not expect or realise there were two distinct car parks.
When I initially spoke, and then wrote, to the car park authorities they were not at all sympathetic or understanding of the situation.
I felt bullied into paying the £60 fee, however, I asked for my situation to be reviewed – I included my car park ticket (albeit from the station car park) as evidence that I was not attempting to park without paying.
The review was turned down.
I hope you are successful in contacting the company, and in challenging them over their misleading practices.
