Euro Car Park fines and staff of stores

Hi all,

My better half got a "PCN" from Euro Car Parks today after working a full shift at the store who shares the carpark on a retail park. All the other staff park in it, and shes never been given a permit or suchlike. Unfortuanlty she only noticed after the other staff had gone, so could not ask if they had permits and is now very worried. If it was me, I'd be happy with the ignore it advice but she's not :) She's worked there a while, but only normally works evenings, once the vultures have knocked off.

Question is, does anyone know if permits or suchlike get issued by employers using carparks managed by these muppets?? Or would they listen to an appeal from a member of staff who need to park there for long periods.

Her employers are flipping useless, so I would not be surprised if they'd "forgotten" to get her a permit or pass.

Cheers!

    No, and no, in that order.

    Tell your OH to do a little research on Euro Car Parks, and she will soon realise that they are a bunch of scamsters who never follow up on their threats of court.

    I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.

    Why post the same thread several times? I have seen 3 threads the same from you! :confused:

    Please merge them, friendly Board Guides, if you can do so. Here's the other 2 I found:

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
