    You should start your own thread as your situation is totally different to the OPs and if you don't want to just ignore the scammers, your course of action will be quite different - especially as the ticket issuer was completely aware you had a disabled person with you - This is a serious breach of the Equality Act and a Blue Badge dosen't come into it!

    I to have lived at St Georges Island for over a year now and my rental flat includes a parking space.

    I today have received a £100 parking ticket for "not displaying a valid parking permit" from Care Parking.

    The system is that we have to apply for a permit which lasts for 6 months, i simply forgot to renew it and now have been slapped with this fine.

    Would the advice be as usual to just ignore it, would there be any differences with it being a residential car park where we are supposed to comply with this "permit" malarkey?

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

  • Hi can anyone help me please, my elderly neighbours, they are nearly 80 have just received a letter from Care Parking. They parked on The Range car park in St Helens for 2hrs 20 mins, they knew it was free for 2hrs and after that you had to pay but lost track of time, they came to their car to find a ticket on for £60 if they paid within 14 days or it would go up to a £100 after that etc.

    It was like a day out for them as they don't go out much due to health problems and they can't afford to pay. I have read all the posts on here but is it really a scam, they are frightened they will have baliffis at the door!!! I am so angry can anyone help please???

    So the post directly above yours asks to create a new thread, yet you bump this regardless. We can help you, but do as advised please!
