    Sorry but you're at fault
    You say there were lots of empty spaces, so park in one with spaces either side, let your passenger out before pulling into a space or display your disabled badge if you're mobility is that reduced and park in a bay with more space.
    It may have been quiet when you parked but who's to say it would be like that all day and why should you take up two spaces when someone else may need it.
    You made a mistake - you did the wrong thing - pay up.
    Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
    Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

    But the money that the PPC demand from the OP is a penalty charge !
    We all know about penalty charges from private companies don't we??;)

    This is a money saving website! We don't and Martin Lewis doesn't endorse paying cowboy parking companies unlawful penalty charges!

    Sorry but you are speaking a load of rubbish to put it bluntly , please don't advise people on something you have no knowledge of! Unbelievable coming from a longstanding member of mse !

    Jeez you posted some rubbish on more than one thread here! Has your MSE account been hacked by a PPC troll or did you just suffer a brain fart?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
