    Well if you ignore you will be joining the hundreds probably thousands who have ignored and paid nowt!
    If it ends up costing you money for parking at Aldi you will almost certainly be the first!;)

    But do send a letter to the head office of Aldi saying that due to harassment from a contractor acting on their behalf they have lost a customer, the more letters they get the more likely it is they will give Parking Spy their P45 :cool:

    (Yes I know it won't be a P45, because Parking Spy charge stupid "early" release fees to landowners whom want out of the contract)
  • Hi like a lot of people have received a parking fine from Parking Eye

    Oh no you haven't. Its an invoice.

    could these people knock on my door and demand the money.

    If I knocked on your door demanding money would you give me any?
    No?
    Thought not. You owe them nothing, ignore them.

    Same applies to you. How can it cost you loads if you don't owe them anything to start with?

    No consequential loss in a free car park, so asking for ludicrous sums as a "Charge", is not on as it constitutes a penalty which is unlawful in a civil situation governed by contract law, ignore these clowns is best advice.

    Some of these PPCs are stupid enough to send invoices to courier companies delivering to shops where there is no back door access

    RESULT ;-} Can just say a great big THANK YOU for the advise on this forum as i did what was advised and ignored the Parking eye parking ticket i got for staying on an Aldi carpark longer than the 1 1/2 hours allowed. We also wrote to the store in question and complained and they wrote back saying how sorry they were and that they would make sure that this parking ticket was cancelled, so im really happy at the moment thanks again for all the advise to all those who gave me some ;-))

    Good result however makes sure you keep the letter at hand. Remember you are dealing with numpties at Parking Eye. They have been known to still make demands.

    Hopefully it will be the end of the matter for you.

    You can actually get sent a letter if you drive in and think "No, I'll not park, I'll leave now" as they've clocked your number plate and you've not bought a ticket.

    Or if you use their entrance to turn round in, on the same basis.
