Aldi & Customer Care (consultancy opportunity?)

I have just been stuffed with a parking eye fine. I decided to pay it as it was me and I did stay 10 minutes over the allotted time and I do not need the hassle so I have paid it. I know it's the other side of "money for nothing" culture we have nowadays from unproductive people who are incapable of creating wealth without taking from others but it is Aldi who license these parasites.
Aldi has just lost a customer for life.
YOU PAID IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:
WHY WHY WHY WHY ?????????????????????????????
You say you "don't need the hassle" ..do you actually know what that hassle is ...
I'll tell you ..a few bullsh*t letters ..and then NOTHING HAPPENS ..I repeat they give up NOTHING HAPPENS ...
No hassle , you just file their letters and get on with your life ..
NEVER EVER PAY A PRIVATE PARKING COMPANY .:(0 -
Have to agree with Sirdan you should have simple ignored their hassle! The hassle would have been a few letters that you could have ignored.
Unfortunately its because people pay these parasites can still operate!0 -
Although I appreciate that in the heat of the moment its easy to panic and pay up, it's these people that undo the hard work of the non-payers. That said, people only pay out of ignorance. How many times do we hear of people paying because they "don't want a CCJ". If they knew the reality of how you get one, they wouldn't panic and therefore wouldn't pay. It's our job to continue to educate.
We can't rely on the powers that be to put an end to these illegal practices, as has been shown by the mess that has become of the Freedom Bill. We have to realise that WE are the powers that be and it's only US that can put a stop to this. That relies on non paying. If nobody pays, then they go out of business and nobody gets issued with a fake ticket anymore.0 -

"Thank you for your payment, however it arrived 10 minutes to late to quality for that amount, you still owe £30
Kind Regards

Yes mate once they have hooked a live one they try to milk it for all its worth, you will be lucky if they don't come back asking for more.
For God's sake don't pay them, if no-one paid these scamming crooks they would soon go out of business, three cheers for that.
At least write to your local Aldi and point out that the parking parasite may have made £50, but the store has lost that amount and more each and every month as you will never shop there again.
Why do retailers fall for it? The parking cowboys con them just as much as the motorists they prey on...0
