Parking fine

[recman]

So the Mrs went shopping at our local Asda one morning a couple of weeks back and the car park entrance camera took a pic of her on the way in.
I used the car for work later in the day due to some shitty weather and popped into the same Asda on the way home.
The exit camera clocked me on the way out but the parking fine company have taken this to be one long visit which contravenes their 2hr stay limit and sent me a £40 pay now/£70 pay later fine notice.
I've already lodged an on-line appeal explaining what's happened but is there anything else I can do should the appeal fail?

Get onto Pepipoo and start a thread there. They'll see you right.

can you prove the car was elsewhere in-between such as CCTV footage of it being at the work car park?

Get the boss etc. in work to verify you came in the car and tell the parking company you have independant witnesses to back up your movements that day and to

Ignore it.

You will get about six months of letters with threats, the last one will threaten court action.

Then nothing.

Well so far anyway!

The law has changed now, ignore at your own risk. Parking Eye scum have already taken people to court.

BTW it is not a parking ticket it is an invoice.

You sure it's not in violation of the no return policy most places have? This stops people parking for 1h 59m, leaving then returning to reset the counter.

Was it a free car park? I had one for a free car park (Sainsburys) as wife overstayed 2 hour limit.

They wanted £25. I asked them to detail the losses Sainsburys had on the free car parking space and also advised that I will take the matter to Popla unless they dropped the matter (costs them £27 + vat for all Popla referrals I think).

Never heard anything back. Was about 4 months ago.

Ignore it/email them, asking them to detail their actual loses if you fancy winding them up.

It is a free car park. I'm not entirely sure why the exit camera didn't see the mrs on the way out, maybe it did and they've chosen to ignore it which would make the whole thing a scam.
Can't really ignore it as I've already logged an appeal although I wish I hadn't now as I went into Asda to report the matter.
It seems they have a pile of these letters which they deal with and get cancelled but I was told that as I've appealed they can't do anything for me.
I may be able to get evidence from the CCTV cameras at work so we'll see.

If I lose the appeal I'm going on a death dealing road trip to their HQ in, er, Perth.
Who's with me?

Friend drove into services with monitored cameras, got lunch and drove out.

It snowed the next day and was dark as hell, first photo was at about 1pm, next was at about 7pm.

1st was sunny and nice Like fuck did he stay there 6 hours

[Wonko The Sane]

as has been said,

wait for outcome of appeal,

if needs be, as for details of losses on free carpark etc.

Ignore it.
The parking company given permission to manage the ASDA car park does not have the legal power to fine you, or sue you in court for damages.

If you've been reading Parking Prankster, you'll know that some parking fraudsters are now quite happy to take cases to County Court while adding on their costs, at which point it's a lottery. They know that the majority of victims will cave when they receive an actual summons, or won't show up and will lose by default.

DO NOT ignore it, that's pre-PoFA advice. The "Protection of Freedoms Act" is, in best Septic doublethink fashion, a racketeers' charter.

You were correct to appeal, but it should have been on procedural grounds, rather than factual (which they'll simply ignore, all you've done is confirm the driver): contractual charge or penalty for breach of contract?; no genuine pre-estimate of loss; show me the contract.

PePiPoo will indeed advise. Tell them all the details, and show them pictures of the documents. But don't expect the parking ghouls to do anything other than ignore or deny your appeal and refuse to hand out a POPLA code.

The last one I had I asked them for proof of their allegations, and never heard anything again.
