I'm just curious - do you have to pay to park in a car park run by one of the private companies which has a pay and display machine, or is it just the parking charge which is unenforcable?

If there is a Pay and Display machine then the advice from this forum is that you pay for a ticket for the period of time that you intend to stay. Regular posters would not advise that you do anything apart from that.
Should you breach their "rules" in any way the most they can claim from you is sufficient to cover their losses. So overstaying by 1 hour in a car park that costs 50p an hour would give a loss of 50p. Anything more than that cannot be substantiated and is just greed by the PPC and an attempt to copy official fines to dupe people into paying. My personal opinion is that losses of upto £10 could be argued to cover obtaining the owner's details from DVLA and any related postage and paperwork.0
