Refund of supermarket parking fine

royston1313

I had no idea these forums existed,I attended a Birthday party in Morden, I do not know the area, one of the guests parked my car at Lidi unknown to me. I was issued a Charge Certificate, Civil Parking Charge Notice dated the 5th July 2011. Over stayed 28 mins.
Not knowing I payed £45 by card thinking if I delayed it would cost
£90. I sent a letter dated 14th July and an email dated 19th July stating I was not the driver.
I received an email from them the same day stating they would inform
my of the appeal in 28 days, no reply.
Is there any way of getting my £45 back,through small claims court

Extremely unlikely that you will get any money back.

There is no appeals process.

Have a read of some of the threads on The Parking Tickets, Fines & Parking Board.

I very much doubt you get your money back these companies unfortunately prey on peoples ignorance or use vile threats

Invalidation

You got suckered into paying a totally unenforceable invoice.
You have little chance of getting anything back.

Do NOT pay any Private Parking Company 'Fines'

Ive got 4 of them now. They dont get a penny from me.

Better off spending your time spreading the news, They are not enforceable and NEVER PAY private parking
invoices.

Wasting time and money trying to get your money back will be useless, If you go the small claims route and
win. Its still unlikely you will get your money back.

You were given an invitation to pay a private invoice (disguised as a fake parking ticket)
You accepted that invitation, accepted the invoice and paid it.
Thats the end of that
however as you have just been had over by scammers, do beware, they may try to come back for more money claiming you paid late, just like all scammers do, don't fall for it again.
