Parking Tickets

Got 1 at asda today does anyone know if you have to pay them. It's not council but just wondered cheers

 

Didn't know Asda were selling em

 

Already told you to ignore it.

 

Ignore it. If pushed deny being the driver.

 

It's my own fault tbh I took my Nannan shopping who is disabled. I parked in a disabled space and totally forgot to put badge in window. I had it on me but forgot to put it in as I was helping her out of car. They couldn't wait to put it on mi window as the time was exactly 3 mons after I left car

 

Yes I could mate but wold they believe us

 

So long as it DOESN'T SAY South Yorkshire police or bmbc on it you are best to totally ignore it under no circumstances contact them as this is deemed that you have accepted the ticket if you have contacted them you have to pay the fine.
If you haven't contacted them that's fine, you will receive another letter from them
Then one from a solicitor
Another from the same solicitor
Then a couple from them that's on channel5 can't pay we'll take it away.
If you are still unsure look on Martyn Lewis's web site there is a link on there about this.

 

Parking eye? They will issue papers.

Email Sean.clarke@asda.co.uk

Entitle it formal complaint.

Then tell him that due to your nans mobility issues you had forgotten to place the badge correctly and you find it unfair that after escorting her into the store and both buying shopping and you stopped at the cafe you are being charged an extra x amount of pounds.

Explain to him that it has upset her and she is wanting to pay it on your behalf from her pension.

Then ask him nicely as a gesture of good faith to have it quashed.

Should do the trick.

 

The same thing happened to me. I took a mate who has a blue badge to Asda but we were in my car so didn't display it. I wrote to the company, explained the circumstances and sent a copy of his blue badge. They cancelled the parking charge.

 

Being able to ignore it is a myth. Used to work, still might for some tenbit companies who can't be arsed to chase it up, but be very careful assuming you're ok.

The case last week in Scotland sets about private parking charges and that valid contracts are formed where there are clear signs. Asda sign clearly.

Completely ignoring it seldom works anymore. It did - but private parking firms have wised up re contracts law. You park on their land when they have clear signs up with the rules, you have voluntarily entered into contract.

The lass in Scotland owes thousands as she wrongly thought she could just ignore all the charges.

Whilst it is in Scotland, and so can't really be seen as precedent, it is clear that it is not a fine, but a charge for breaching terms of contract.

As troff says. The days where you can simply ignore have changed. The law was tightened up a few years back.

Better checking http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/private-parking-tickets as to where you stand.

 

I'd also heard that you can't ignore them these days. As Deetee says, try your arm asking nicely and then just pay up. It's rubbish but it's the rules unfortunately.

 

Don't ignore it, go into Asda customer services with your Granny and blue badge if necessary , explain the circumstances that it was a genuine oversight, take shopping receipts if you have them to prove you shopped, they can and will sort the ticket out for you. Both Barnsley and Royston Asda's have sorted out previous tickets for me, one just this week. Definitely easier than dealing with Parking eye, its not in Asda's interest to punish genuine customers especially one's with disabled Granny's.

 

some good advice

I'd certainly contact ASDA directly as advised

 

My son got one from parking eye whilst in Wakefield. We ended paying it for him because they were like a dog with a bone.

Did you manage to get into Asda , if so should have got one of these charge cancelled letters from Parking eye

 

Parking Eye are Cowboys.

I used to park in a car park run by them. I had to pay by sending a text message. Sent the message to pay for 12 hours and they charged me for 1. I didn't realise until I got the letter through the post saying I'd over stayed by 8 hours and a photo of my car entering and leaving the car park. When I checked my texts I noticed that I'd sent the correct text and that particular day, rather than sending me a confirmation text, they sent me a text asking whether I was sure that I only wanted to park for 1 hour. Well fishy.

Appealed it. Sent in screens hots of the text. They sent me a letter saying they'd dropped all charges.
