We've had workmen round at the house, quote was changed during the work, we've been threatened with lawyers, we've paid and not left negative reviews as was just not worth the hassle. The work wasn't completed and we paid the full amount which was probably twice what we should have paid given there were some major issues.
One of the workmen was given a parking fine whilst here.
We had paid for parking via a visitors permit (Zoned area in London) from our account - this was checked by the workmen to clarify details and accepted as all correct.
Parking ticket was received and we sent through the receipt showing that we had paid for that vehicle for the times required.
When I said we wanted No further contact with the company the manager (ie. the person who is threatening us with lawyers) has said well I will check with workman and then get back to you but if you don't pay it then he will have to.
We are under no obligation to pay for anyone's parking when they visit - there is a car park five minutes walk away with pay and display and there is the ringo app that can be used. They also could have applied for a business parking permit.
I am fucked off because we've been over charged for a service that wasn't completed, threatened with legal action when we asked for a refund, and now we have been asked to pay the full parking ticket amount (even though it's heavily discounted for X number of days).
No other people have had this issue when we've paid for their permits - and most automatically offer to take the money off the bill when it comes (which we never accept).
YANBU - don't need to pay for the parking fine
YABU - you should pay the fine
