hi.
yesterday 13 11 2012 i parked is disabled bay. unfortunately i got a 70-00 charge, as i noticed my mothers blue badge had expired at the end of october, i was unaware of this obviously and my mother at 84 and heart and cancer patient was not up to speed with this. i appreciate this was the fault, but it does seem very severe for a minor oversight. in the envelope the notice is just like some amatuer till reciept. again this is from the notorious t and c parking and the guy was no where to be found. any help and advice appreciated.

Ignore it - The Blue Badge does not apply on private property. Check your handbook/Issuer website, its made quite clear.
And unless you want to test the POPLA appeals procedure, it is easiest to ignore T&C as well. The recent law change does not affect the wholly non-legal nature of their tickets.

The blue badge scheme does not apply to private land. You haven't broken any laws, and you don't owe them a penny. Just ignore!What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0

Ignore it and any letters you getFor everthing else there's mastercard.
For clampers there's Barclaycard.0 -
OP,
did you notice if there was a time restriction (eg, 2 hours) on this car park?
This store is on my list to visit, with any luck i might get a ticket for a double 'infringement'.:cool:0 -
With any time restriction they also might be breaching equality laws which say you have to grant extra times for disabled people to do their shopping.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0
