Aldi Facebook Page Kicking Off after Parking Eye LBAs

  • Just had a rather bizarre experience. An elderly lady from Hertfordshire had tracked me down, following the well publicised case that Parking Eye had brought against us (and lost.) Both her and her neighbour had received one of the notorious letters from Aldi's partners, Parking Eye, asking for £40 (rising to £70 if not paid immediately). She sounded quite frail, and told me that she had sent a letter explaining that she hadn't overstayed, and sent a cheque for the £40 anyway, with a letter explaining that she was only in Aldi's car park for only 1 hr-she said she was "worried to death." She sounded such a sweetie, she rang to give me support, bless her. I felt a little helpless, it's unlikely that she'll see her forty quid again. I know that the press have been interested in our case, I've got this lady's number if you wish to speak to her directly.

    She should be directed to complain to Aldi and get a refund if PE cash the cheque. You are famous now, Fistral Dude! :T

  • Thank's for that. This 'aint about The Fame, it's about social Justice. This is not right, and I'm happy to speak about our experience, and those of less tenacity and vulnerability than us, who have suffered.

    How on earth do ALDI stay open? surely things like this should be reported in papers?

    Ivor, have you complained to Newquay town council. Geoff Brown is the man!
    I have complained to him on numerous occasions about the Parking Eye infestation in Newquay and about how it is driving tourism away. He recons that he is doing all he can to support Newquay businesses yet he says that because Parking Eye are a private company he can do nothing! The town council have already been made to look stupid in the Cornish guardian by believing the rubbish spouted by Parking Eye.
  • The council are more worried about £getting egg on their face," http://www.cornishguardian.co.uk/Council-wary-parking-issues/story-18134970-detail/story.html

    I'm asking "Bob The Hat" (Newquay Voice) to investigate.

    Euuugh! I just can't understand how they are so popular. Unbelievably, going by their Facebook page, a lot of people buy electricals from them! Risking electrocution if you ask me!

    I suppose some people will buy any trash if it's cheap enough.

    Even worse was a babygrow that had spikes sticking out from a press-stud.
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?
