    I think it's worth bumping this thread up especially to see the comments on the Range/facebook page- just like the parking eye/aldi one!

    Yes reckon we should set up a Facebook page to boycott all places that have parking eye infesting their car parks, this is not just Aldi or The Range but all them.

    Let's keep bumping this as the 'Range Facebook' thread about ParkingEye. The Range haven't replied to a single Parking Eye post on there at all have they?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    If you look right at the bottom of the page they did reply once:-

    Hello. We brought in car park management systems as we found that our car parks were being abused by motorists that were not shopping at The Range and using the car park as free parking while they went elsewhere. This prevented our valued customers from parking on site.
    We decided to provide up to 2 hours free parking for customers whilst shopping in our stores and therefore engaged a national car park management company to assist us with this.
    The overwhelming majority of customers follow the terms and conditions, however if a Range customer does receive a Parking Charge Notice then they can appeal against the notice that has been issued by following the steps documented on the reverse of the Parking Charge Notice.


    I like their misplaced faith in PE's "appeals" process!

    I'm not sure which is the better - say nothing via silence, or say nothing with a copy and paste WeberShandwick style :)

    Both equally frustrating and both clear indications of customers being taken for granted (and for a ride) by these 'pile em high, flog em cheap' outfits.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Just to bump this up to page 1. I like this comment that's been posted on The Range FB page:-

    Club points similar to Tesco? Buy £100 worth of goodies instore and you get 1 club point towards a parking ticket/fine/speculative invoice.
