    I've just received a Parking Charge Notice today. I visited my local Homebase to check out price reductions for that weekend. We subsequently went back next day when the reductions were in place, I have a reciept. On my first visit, whilst on my lunchbreak, my car failed to start when I returned to it to leave. I walked back to work and returned later,(21 minutes after the 3 free hours) to jump start the car and drive home. Not sure which route to follow now?
    1/ ignore. 2/ write and appeal or 3/ tell them i refuse to pay stating it was a legitimate overstay, in a FREE car park! Any thoughts anyone please?

    I am sure more knowledgeable posters will be along soon, but my advice would be to go back to Homebase and pop the notice into one of the conveniently receptacles usually located at their entrance doors, that have litter printed on them.

    Walk away job done:T

    Oh please do same with all other correspondence you will no doubt receive for a while ;)

    Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
    They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
    Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?
