my wife received a parking charge from parking eye.it is £40 if paid before then raises to £70.she parked in aldi car parked for 3 hours and 20mins when it had 2 hours free parking.we appeal as she had mitigating circumstances these were that she was 8 months pregrant and that she went into town to post letter and withdrawn sum money after doing this she suddenly felt faint and felt her blood pressure to drop this has happened to her throughout her pregrance and on midwife advice previously given to her when it has happen she phoned her dad who came to meet her and took her to his house were she was able rest get something eat and drink till she felt ok and she felt safe to drive she appealed and informed parking eye of this and said she felt these circumstances were enough to drop charge as if she was to return to car any earlier she felt ishe was unsafe to drive and she could possible cause injury or death to herself or public.she also told them that the fee is disproportionate and unreasonable according to the unfair terms in the Consumer Contract Regulations Parking Charges on Private Land. This must not exceed the cost to the landowner during the period the motorist is parked there and she felt there fee was unfair and excessive and it is not reasonable and in line with any losses the landowner would have occurred as there were still plenty of spaces when she returned and she believe this to be case throughout as it was not a weekend or within rush hour and with it being a free car park there has not been any actual loses and there were plenty of spaces for consumers to park and shop at the supermarket they sent letter rejecting appeal we was just wondering what to do should we just pay or do you think its worth going aldi to see what they say or taking it up with popla.what are chances of appeal if went to popla and what are chances of it going to court and chances of us winning if this happens please help really cant afford it with baby coming along.any help be great thanks
