    Did I mishear in yesterdays Watchdog when the ranting lady mentioned that the supermarkets will fine you if you park in a P&C bay without a kid?

    Naughty naughty BBC in allowing the F word

    You are correct.She did say that. In fact somebody started a thread on here about it. That "ranting lady" was Esther Rantzen's daughter.

    I guess Parking Eye have being complaining again judging by the missing posts. They really must be being hurt if they need to check every post about them.

    Poor Parking Eye issued a parking charge for non-payment of P&D fees, to an ambulance who was called to the location to assist with a collapsed customer.

    Remember Parking Eye don't manage your car-parks, they just monitor by a dodgy CCTV system, any proper car-park management wouldn't have allowed it to slip though the net.

    What next, charging a fire engine for staying too long when a shop is burning?
  • check out the fire exits at Aldi...a disgrace.
    Illegitimi non carborundum:)
  • Just got a £70 fine for 'overstaying' in Aldi's Boscombe store. As a paying customer I would expect to at least be informed that this time restriction was in place. Signage is appalling. I would have gone elsewhere to do my shopping if I had known about the ?70 tax on shopping at Aldi.

    Apparently there is a machine inside you're meant to put your registration number into - only they try not to let you know as it is more profitable for them to get their hired thugs to send court threats and fines.

    I now have to deal with Parking Eye - a well documented bunch of cowboy bullies with a notorious reputation for ripping off the general public.

    I guess it's not just the shoddy products that help Aldi keep its prices low. It's now using underhand and sneaky tactics to help its bullyboy business partner threaten its customers with court - for a share of the booty presumably.

    Not only that but #ParkingEye issued the ticket on June 20 and it didn't arrive until July 6. Even Royal Mail aren't that bad. Something devious is going on to make it impossible to pay the 'reduced' amount of £40. Not that I am going to pay a penny for this cheating scam.

    Don't expect me back in Aldi anytime soon.

    Aldi's boilerplate response to all the facebook messages

    "At Aldi we hope you can appreciate the need to have a car park management system in place, in a number of our stores across the UK, to ensure the provision of car parking availability to all our customers.
    Parking Eye don't MANAGE they just issue invoices.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
