Here's what I posted on Pepipoo:

PE seem to be pursuing Aldi customers at the moment via LBAs - part of an obvious strategy. Aldi surely knows something about this and must have been consulted and given approval to this given the apparent volume of posts raised here. If we deal with say 5% of the total here, then there must have been hundreds issued this past week. Aldi must be complicit. What a chance they must be taking with their PR. Are they getting a rake-off?

Bombard their Facebook page. The more hassle they get about the fact that their agent is threatening to take their customers to court the better. Ask on FB if they were consulted about the LBAs and if they gave approval to PE to take this course of action. Ask if they are getting a back-hander - this will put them on the spot. Failure to answer will allow the public to draw their own conclusions. Tell them that they will be required to answer these questions in court should you be issued papers by PE and end up there.

Here's a strong(ish) complaint today - add more to the fight against this appalling situation.

Please consider doing similar. Let's get this rolling.

As well as the actions already recommended it's worth checking up with your local council planning department to see if there are any conditions applied to allowing Aldi to have a car park. For example that customers are allowed to park there to use other local stores.

Parking Eye have a very poor track record in keeping to planning conditions !

A local Aldi round my way employs PE and inside their store it warns you to input your vehicles registration number.... or else....except that Aldi only got planning permission if the car park is for any whoalso use the local shops whether that includes Aldi or not. There are other grocery stores, a hardware, a bakery, charity shops, a pharmacy, fish and chips, a dry cleaners, holiday company, two banks....I could spend all morning shopping, banking and enquiring....yet PE signs limit me to 1hr 30 mins. It don't add up!!!!

Have you complained to the council on that ?

This is correct, as long as they didn't attach a ticket to the windscreen. In that event, they must NOT contact the DVLA until 28 days have elapsed. They then have a grace period to send you the NTK. Not sure how long that is, but if 14 days, then they are compliant.

So, was there a ticket on the car? If so, you can't use stroma's letter as it stands.

You might like to look at this site http://www.parkingcowboys.co.uk/keeper-liability/ for more information on their obligations. Suggest you tick off where they complied and where they failed and come back.

Hope it helps.

If there was a Notice To Driver left on the vehicle then to be valid the Notice To Keeper must not arrive earlier than 28 days nor later than 56 days after the parking event (counting days from the day after the parking event).

Check with the council if there was a time limit set for parking - Parking Eye have been known to set a limit below what the council have set as a condition.
