I parked in their area at Silverstone…
I parked in their area at Silverstone by mistake - I'd booked at Windmills Farms and we followed their signs but still ended up in the wrong place. Windmill Farms fee was £40, Wiseparking's fee was £150 which I was happy to pay, having parked on their land. However they wanted to add their 'penalty' amount too so I had to pay £210 in total. That is quite a lot for a day's parking anywhere, though given I'd paid over £800 for F1 tickets £150 was not a lot. I made the case that I should not have to pay the excess having made a genuine mistake, but this fell on deaf ears - I wrote to the boss of Wiseparking but did not get a reply. Seems like a good way of squeezing extra money out of someone and not recognising that a mistake had been made.
