Car Parking Ticket @ Asda Long Eaton

I have just received a parking ticket from TCP for parking over 3 hours on Asda car park at Long Eaton. The letter contains photos of our car entering and leaving the car park but i cant recall seeing any signs saying that there were cameras on the car park. Surely it is illegal to do this without having warning signs. Should we pay the fine ? or do we just ignore the threatening letters from TCP. This will be the last time that i will ever shop at Asda.

    TCP cannot find you. Pop it in the shredder and add it to the hamster bedding.

    This is not a fine, so just ignore it.

    Tons of info on these jokers in the Parking Forum, incl the letters they will send you.

    Don't be taken in! :)
  • Thanks for the replies so far.
  • Have a read of the parking fines (which this isn't) subsection of this forum.

    As above, ignore all correspondence and use the the paperwork to line pet effluent containers.

    Or, write a very 'more in sorrow than anger' letter to the supermarket manager telling him how he has lost your custom. Mention that you will also be telling all your friends.

    I wonder what would happen if you replied back saying you are not sure who was driving but naming the store manager as a possible driver?

    Would that be naughty?

    Because the rules (hmrc and court) say parking companies (in general~) are not entitled to charge for parking, that is the province of the landowner.


    I understand that, just wish people would obey what they are asked to do, then Asda wouldn't even feel the need to employ these companies......
