Why?

Blue Badges have no legal application on private land. If you have a disability the law requires the landowner to make adjustments, which might include the provision of special parking bays.

The BB might make it convenient for the PPC, but since when has it been a requirement to make things easy for them?

Hello,
I'm new here but can I also join in on this thread.
I'm in pretty much the exact same position as the OP minus the disabled badge.
I had a ticket (it was actually a receipt in a yellow parking ticket bag on my windscreen) in Asda a few months ago and now I have a letter from Debt Recovery Plus.

Do I carry on ignoring this or what? I have somehow lost the picture I had on my phone of the parking sign saying T&C parking instead of smart parking too.

Best start your own thread Lankybob otherwise your question wont get picked up by the experts.

Thanks, I just didn't want to clog up this place with much of the same!

Asda have been proven to lie about who owns their car parks - their normal statement is that they are owned by the council - strangely the councils contacted somewhat deny that ! For once I believe the councils.

How interesting !! well that Just Proves that Smart Parking AKA Town & City Do Not own the land and have no legal right to pursue anyone whether it be at Sainsburys or Asda :j

Yawn! Tired and bored...

Yet more panicked threads about stupid old DRP and Zenith junk mail again, when it's easily searched, covered every other day here and on pepipoo, with pics to show what will arrive:

But in both cases of course you should have complained by now to the Supermarket about this harassment! Why the heck would you not have marched in and demanded to speak to the Store manager by now and got the stupid threat cancelled?!

and in particular @cathpar whose thread this is, you have a disability and therefore you have a legal right to park in that bay even WITHOUT a blue badge (under the Equality Act 2010). Not sure why you thought ignoring this disability discrimination was a good idea (we NEVER advise to ignore a fake PCN now, not for MONTHS). So go back to the store armed with the threatograms and your blue badge and complain about the disability law breach by their agent!

What exactly did the fake PCN accuse you of, seeing as you were parked correctly? (@cathpar only, others please start your own threads if the links do not answer all your questions).

Sorry to Coupon-mad for making you tired and bored, and for having to answer the same thing over and over again. I am probably alot older than you and not very good with technical things.

When I first received the 'ticket' on my car I panicked and came onto this site , skimmed through the posts and thought the advise was to ignore these tickets.

It is only now, after receiving further letters and plucking up the courage to post here, that I am aware I shouldn't have ignored it.

I will go to Sainsburys tomorrow and have a word with the store manager and see how I get on.

Thank you all for your help, it really is appreciated.

I am not that young and am female (a Mum of four) which not all newbies know when they see my posts! But glad to see you are going to complain to the Store Manager about this harassment.

Do you know Coupon Mad, I've read your very helpful posts for a long time and I'm impressed with the knowledge you have on this subject. I always look out for when you join these type of threads and you knock everything into order in one single post.

But in all that time I assumed you were a grumpy old man!! I'm sorry, absolutely no insult intended! Just shows how we can conjure up absolutely incorrect images in our minds here.:rotfl:
