点评:Over the years we have visited the park and cafe fairly regularly to walk our dogs and have a brew. It’s a lovely park and we generally enjoy it.
We no longer visit after a very unpleasant PARKING experience.
We paid for parking and displayed the printed ticket correctly. A couple of weeks later we received a fine from Minster Baywatch. I had retained the ticket, so I appealed it and sent the information. They declined the appeal saying the reg no of the car was wrong. It was only then that I checked and printed on the ticket was “FFFFF” .(which I now believe means Fault)
I appealed again, to no avail. I contacted the park who said they would get the ticket cancelled but then received threatening letters from Gladstones Solicitors with additional fines that we declined to pay.
Gladstones took us to court. We defended ourselves after many hours of case preparation.
We won at court, but we have spent hours having to deal with this horrible company. It has been a very stressful and lengthy process and we felt threatened and bullied throughout. What started as a pleasant two hour walk, ended with a two year court battle.
My advice, AVOID - there are better places to visit.
翻译:多年来,我们经常去公园和咖啡馆遛狗、喝啤酒。这是一个很漂亮的公园,我们平时都很喜欢。
自从一次非常不愉快的停车经历后,我们就不再去了。
我们付了停车费,并正确出示了打印的罚单。几周后,我们收到了明斯特海滩救护队(Minster Baywatch)的罚款。我保留了罚单,所以我提出上诉并提交了相关信息。他们驳回了上诉,说车牌号错了。直到那时我才检查,发现罚单上打印的是“FFFFF”(我现在认为是“过错”的意思)。
我再次上诉,但无济于事。我联系了公园,他们说会取消罚单,但随后收到了格拉德斯通律师事务所(Gladstones Solicitors)的恐吓信,要求我们支付额外的罚款,但我们拒绝支付。
格拉德斯通律师事务所将我们告上法庭。经过数小时的准备,我们最终为自己辩护。
我们在法庭上胜诉,但我们也花了好几个小时与这家糟糕的公司打交道。整个过程非常紧张漫长,我们一直感到被威胁和欺凌。一开始只是两个小时的愉快散步,最后却演变成一场长达两年的官司。
我的建议是,避开——还有更好的地方可以去。
