You lay with dogs you get fleas .

Please accept my most sincere apologies for people contracting MRSA as i currently work for the NHS.
I also apologise for any broken parcels you've had as i've worked for Yodel
I will be compensating you for any rubbish holidays you've had as i've also worked at Thomas Cook.
Next week i will be on trial for issues regarding water due to my previous involvement with United Utilites. Hopefully my past job at BT won't have too much impact on my sentencing.

I must be riddled with fleas, the fact i work in IT appears to be completely irrelevant.

If you work for a company who uses these unenforceable tickets,you may not be able to change it,but you can get yourself informed, rather than just accept everything your company passes of as being correct and legal.Welcome to mse.:D

Yeah, um. Barriers don't work. We tried that one already.
Amazingly we don't actually like having to have another company to fine our "customers".

Which is good, because we've not received a single complaint from a genuine customer that they've been fined. Just lots of people that were too stupid to read the signs and still left for London for 9 hours.

See, that affects our ability to serve our REAL customers. And no real customer needs more than 3 hours. Any disabled person gets 5 hours, providing they inform us, we can permanently register their vehicle as disabled with the issuing company.

The only person who I has received a fine and I've cancelled it for them is a PCSO and only because the system didn't like their number plate for some reasons, as we allow our local town center constabulary to use our car park.

Why do you think your company dont just cut out the middleman,and fine/ ie invoice people themselves?

I'll be perfectly honest, I wasn't aware that they are not legally enforceable, does that also make issuing them illegal?

In my mind, all the signs and warnings do is serve as a deterrent to people taking the !!!! in our car park, which means there will actually be spaces for staff and customers.
Like I said, genuine customers don't get fined.

.

the stupid ones are the ones who paid; like most people i wasn't aware that they can't be enforced as the companies don't have a right to issue fines.... until i found out!
The companies who issue the tickets work on the principle that people don't know that there isn't a law that says you have to pay the charges. There's a whole sub section about it in the motoring section

I assume they don't cut out the middleman is because we don't have the sort of infrastructure and logistical know-how to do something like that. This company supplied the cameras, computer equipment etc, and have a running agreement with our HO and are starting to equip more stores with the same system.

They're also expanding the system to start to cover our disabled spaces which we still have a persistent problem with.

As it is an automated system we just don't get involved in store (unless like I mentioned earlier someone who we have an informal agreement with at store level to park comes in with a fine).

They reality is they do not do warnings, these are not sainthood parking wardens that are helping supermarkets keep car parks clear, they are lying cheating scam artists, often ex-wheel clamper's or people who have run other scams tricking and threatening money out of people.
They pick on vulnerable people, elderly and easily intimidated people, take money from them, tell them they paid late and extract more money from them, again and again, often hundreds of pounds and for what ? having a cup of tea in the cafe and over staying a few minutes ? and for that "great offence" you subject them to the local no neck thug team of scamers and bullies.
If supermarkets dont want people who are not customers to park then they could just install a barrier control system, you know like responsible companies do, however it often transpires that in your planning conditions you can not set parking restrictions or charges or limit the amount of time people stay for, so instead they opt for the thug approach.
IMO anyone who thinks that subjected an elderly couple to the local thug is the correct way deserves all the flak they get.

Woah, the selfish are out in force. Let's inject some niceness into this thread then.

Unenforcable doesn't mean illegal, immoral or wrong. It just means useless.

Money saving expert's advice is not to pay an "unfair" parking ticket. That means that you obayed the rules but got ticketed anyway.

Under contract law in every country in the UK, private firms can give you a ticket, clamp you or remove your vehicle when you break, in their eyes, a contract formed between yourself and the landowner to allow you to park on their property.

No it doesn't. It just makes them as useful as chocolate fireguards.
