excel parking noticeable of intended court proceedings.

I'm in a very similar boat, I paid for a ticket but threw it away (as i generally do with tickets). Received a fine letter over 2 months later... i don't know why the parking wasn't registered etc. Upon the advice of many friends I ignored the letters and then they stopped. Just short of one year the letters started coming again, they are now coming from debtors stating they are taking me to court. rightly or wrongly I just keep ignoring these letters... what should i do now... I'm worried about going to court! The first letter came about Nov 2013.

Hello



I have noticed there are a few cases similar but wanted to post my exact situation. Thank you in advance for any advice.

On the 17/10/14 my wife parked at the moor centre in Brierley hill. She had recently had a new car so imputed one digit incorrectly at the meter. She paid a pound which I believe is either 1 or 2 hours parking. She went shopping and left the car park 20 minutes later. Thought nothing of it. Cleaned her car a week later and unfortunately threw away her ticket. We then received a letter from excel stating we owed them money for not paying for a ticket. I spoke to my wife who informed me she had paid for a ticket and said she may have inputted one digit wrong in to the machine but only noticed when got back

To the car. She did not have another pound so just thought it would be ok. I emailed excel and explained the situation my wife had entered a g instead of a j. Naively I believed they may be human and see we had paid fairly and that would be it. We received an email basically saying they don't care about mistakes and we have to pay. So I emailed popla explained to them that if excel checked their machines they would see a log of the ticket my wife purchased and on the cctv they would see her buying it. Again they ruled against us! Could not believe it!

So I read a lot of forums who say I should still not pay. I went to the car park and took some pictures of their signs. Nowhere on their larger signs does it say anything about wrongly inputted numbers. Only very small on the actual meter does it mention it. Please could you advise what you think I should do next.
