I got one of these from a retail car park.

I ignored it, nothing ever happened.

an attendent told me they wont chase it up until theres 2 or 3 given out in your name.
not all are the same though.

Benni

Ignore it!

focusv8

I had a threatening letter about one from Europark in a Sainsburys for a reg number I have but wasn't using the car, returned it with an explanation, nothing heard.

Then a ticket on my work van, last November, again in a Sainsbury, overstayed my welcome, but did nothing and nothing heard

.

Maria.

Does seem a bit harsh, especially if there were no other parking spaces.

looking them up on net there cowboys, its a civil matter, they say a fine but its effectively a invoice, they havent a leg to stand on cannot send bailiffs etc unless they put you up infront of court, which aparantly they never ever do, but they have some nasty letters and pretend to off passed the debt on etc no wonder mot people pay up, advice is to sit tight swallow all the incredibly nasty strict letters and say nothing to them

ignore it..... serves you right reallly

Then go frantically looking for it when some tin-pot Debt Collection Agency is kicking your door in.

You need to be very careful with this one as it could end up with some Debt Collection Agency and become a large sum of money and a shit load of hassle


Pop back into the shop, speak to the manager and inform him/her that they will not get another penny of your money if this is enforced, play on the fact you have been a loyal customer for years and you dont expect bully boy tactics when you are coming to them to spend money.


What they are trying to stop is tossers using Supermarket car parks as a way of avoiding parking charges around the town.

Legally they are entitled to follow this up as you were parked on private land, their land, and you have ignored their rules, just like when people get clamped for parking on what they think is waste ground.

This is one of my pet hates and £ucks me right off when people without a disability park in disabled bays

Steve.

tabetha

It also pisses me off when I park in a disabled bay, then get abuse from OLD PEOPLE, saying "you're not disabled, you can see that", even though my badge is dispalyed, and I offer to show them the photo on it is me.
It pisses the disabled off that TESCO in(some) stores always put nearest the store not disabled but mother and toddlers, all because they spend more I suppose.

as its private land it is a civil matter, so the only court you could attend would be one they ask for, which they wont, so basicly no bailiffs etc can come after you, however you will get nasty letters as i say, theres a forum about it all here

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...e-70-euro.html

of course if court paperwork arrives you pay, but no one has been sent to court, they try and try and try then give up move on to next sucker, as you can guess prog a good 75% pay up on the first or second letter

yeah its usually not financially worth them going to court. same with those "camera eye" things at car parks.


Too many mugs just pay up with a few threatening and likely legally wrong letters.

This is like when I tell people I got 3 points for parking on a zig-zag line outside a school, I get the "think of the children blah blah outside a school what do you expect"... at 10pm on a Sunday night FFS...

Psycho Warren

iTrader: (5)

Did you really??

Why the fuck do a lot of school run parents get away with it then???? The feds could make a killing putting the wardens outside local schools at closing time and issuing everyone a 3 points etc for stopping. That would teach all them school run parents a lesson!!!!

But i geuss that would be "non-PC" and we cant be seen to targetting those "innocent" parents can we??

Yet some bellend copper issued a ticket at 10pm!!!!

The law isnt flexible just to keep happy "priority" persons etc so if they want to do someone at 10pm then they have to do ALL school run parents too

If there is a penalty scheme operating there has to be signs explaining the conditions but a lot of these parking enforcement companys operate completely outside the law so should be questioned and challenged every step of the way, check out these robbing bastards

Wardens can't do anything if you're on zig zags.

Psycho Warren

iTrader: (5)

well get the 5-0 to converge on schools at 1530 mon-friday then

Would only require a big city to allocate say 3 officers a day to it rotating to different schools each day and they could bag a killing.

Just found this through the link to the consumer website that was posted and I bet it would have clamping/towing muppets scratching their heads

"I overstayed in a Morrison's car park in Peckhan S London and received a fine of £40 if I paid within 14 days. I waited until I received a reminder then I wrote to the parking enforcement company (called parking eye). Stating that under constitutional law they are breaking the law by demanding money from me before any court conviction (bill of rights 1689) and any claim they had would be null and void as they had demanded monies from me.

As they had written to me twice I had to advise them of the terms and conditions of writing to me, which are thus:

I will accept two free letters but any third letter received; would trigger the acceptance of the fact that they would have to pay me an admin fee of £50 per letter, but the third letter would also be a free letter unless I received a fourth letter related to this matter. In which case I would have to charge for ALL four letters. I would invoice them and request payment within 7 days otherwise court action would follow on the 8th day. The terms are fair under the Unfair terms Act 1999 as this is for my time and expenses. Any fifth letter would trigger a harassment action under the 1997 Protection from Harassment Act, which I would be entitled to claim £5,000 in damages for mental anguish.

Funnily enough every time I get a ticket and a reminder, I NEVER receive a third letter, as they (parking agents/councils) are really concerned that I would go for it."

Just a shame so few don't have a clue of the rules of driving, then moan when get points for parking there, funny really.
Should do as you said, zigzags are there for a reason, to protect these stupid womens children....
Do a few of them, and you know how women like to talk

999

i do agree c4lly but im on about the rip off car park private people in car parks

999

sneeky fookin coonts too

if you go to the www.eurocarparks.co.uk website there a bit were you can enter in your ticket details, it brings up a £30 fine

but then i started trying different tcket numbers by changing last digit etc and funny the ticket came up todays date with a £30 fine, i bet even if the system has no recollection it also still charges you as they willo be waiting for the stubb form the carpark warden blokey


so then everyone sees the £30 thins result and pays


slimey coonts


look

http://www.eurocarparks.co.uk/charges-pcn.htm

just enter in the ticket number like the one on the display ticket on there picture, then change last digit or another digit etc


or even make up a 7 digit number

C4llyT

Sorry mate was going off track a little and replying to Warren.

I'd just pay up, as much as I hate it.
Don't like worry, or anything hanging over me, just paid and out the way.
