Private parking ticket

partyboo

I clicked on the link reclaim private parking tickets and it led me to 'Tickets are often invalid don't pay' is that all the info i need? i received a parking ticket in a supermarket car park from euro car parks.We had parked to go shopping when my mum felt unwell, an NHS walk in centre is located 2 minutes away from where we were. To cut a long story short an ambulance was called for my mum and i went in the ambulance with her,my husband phoned the supermarket who said they would let the parking attendent know,i still received a ticket what can i do?

What you do is ignore them. It's as simple as that. Please read the stikies at the top of this sub-forum for more information about private parking tickets.

Do nothing but ignore them. They don't allow any appeal so its not worth the time writing. Also Euro have never gone to court, their MD even admitted they haven't and would not be doing so.

So you can safely ignore all their junk mail.

You have not been given a parking ticket, you have been given an invoice, which you can safely ignore.
In return you will receive a host of threatening letters which are all BLUFF and no HUFF.
They Talk the Talk, they NEVER walk the walk.
Eventually they give up and look for someone else who has money to "give away"

The letters make good paper aeroplanes though - MSE Money Saving Tip of The Day :rotfl:

I have 19 of these Private parking tickets, never paid anyone a penny, get lots of letters each week, which I shred and use for free Hamster bedding. MONEY SAVING TIP>
The ones that come in nice franked envelopes get put back in the post box in the smug knowledge that they get charged each time it gets re-delivered to here.
Oh the Joy !

What you should do is write a strongly-worded letter to the supermarket telling them about the despicable behaviour of the parking company they are using in their car-park. Also tell them you will not be shopping there again until they get rid of them.

I have just uploaded letters to the sticky thread from NGP!!

I parked in a 'patron only' car park, as we intended to dine at one of 3 restaurants. We looked around the menu boards and then chose to eat elsewhere (as the kids weren't keen on the options!), so within seven minutes of parking, we left the car park.

Apparently, you are not allowed to window-browse menu's for a few minutes, 'you park, you eat!' We received a parking ticket 3 days later in the post.

We appealed on the basis that we were considering the options and left shortly after parking up as none of the restaurants met our needs, and this would be evident from their 'CCTV' footage no doubt.

They have turned down the appeal and are threatening action debt collective agency/court/court order and/or immobilisation & removal of vehicle from an NGP managed site if we don;t pay and the charge goes up gradually to over £150 (plus interest if appropriate).

The original letter talks about terms and conditions of contract contravened. (something others mentioned in earlier threads).

I am assuming we should ignore? Advice welcome!

Could you please start your own thread, instead of hijacking this one which is about a different parking company.

Yep - same as with all private parking charge notices. It's a scam.

Ignore all the letters and read the stickies to see the PPC letters and the Watchdog video with the solicitor's advice (see 'welcome, please read before posting').

A real parking ticket is called a Penalty Charge Notice, from a Council, and it can be appealed. What you have is a piece of scrap paper which will be followed by more rubbish, like a series of phishing emails.


Oh yes, and please start your own shiny new thread if you are still unsure after reading the sticky threads at the top of the forum:
