Paid Parking Company Private Car Park Fine
19 Answers
Anyone got any recent (2016) experience of dealing with car park fines issued by Paid Parking Company There's a lot of stuff on the internet about their bullying tactics, but nothing recent I can find. The driver was only a little over the time limit, and was given misleading information about the car park by the neighbouring business.
This question relates to a car park in England.

There are 'issues' with that company threatening action against this site for incorrect/abusive comments in the past.
The first port of call should always be to complain to the actual store that runs the car park - not to the enforcement company. They can require the enforcement company to withdraw the penalty, assuming you have a decent case for your use of the car park.
People will say 'ignore it and it will go away' and 'nothing will happen' - that is no longer true - this enforcement company in particular is bulk processing enforcements through tame magistrates - you may be lucky, but I'd be a bit more worried than in the past.

As far as I am aware they are not fines but parking charge invoices.

Sorry SlackA - didn't intend to get at you - I know it's not a fine, but a request for payment - albeit one that has now been proven to be legal and enforceable.
I've read all the stuff many times - you just got caught in my pre-emptive strike against the usual suspects giving dud (out-of-date) information on these questions.

Thanks guys. There's just something odd about the whole thing. The company-who-apparently-cannot-be-named did have clear signs up, so no problem with that. The problem was that that the business whose car park it was had a 2.5 hour event on, and because there was no way to pay for extra time over the free 2 hours, they were telling drivers it was fine and monitoring wasn't operational that day. Forgive me for being cynical, but one has to wonder why that mis-information was being given out.
^^ then your first action must be to complain to the company whose car park it was. They should instruct the parking company to withdraw the invoice.
( IT IS NOT A FINE!)
Then also lodge an appeal with parking e** and state that you were told the 2 hour limit was not operating that day and ask them to check with the car park owner.
