g24 parking ticket

carlito1

Hi , my problem is I went shopping at sports direct and stayed for an hour and 30 mins ish and didn't see any signs telling me I could not do otherwise , since then I have received a letter demanding £60 within 14 days or £100 if later than 14 days .......I have read that g24 don't have the authority to enforce such charges and don't see how me staying an extra 30 mins on a carpark with loads of empty spaces gives them the right to charge me £60 or £100 ...... Advice on wording my appeal and the correct course of action to take would be greatly appreciated , many thanks in advance

Welcome to MSE!

A few months back, we got soooo busy with new threads, all the same, that to ensure no-one missed out on advice I spent hours writing a sticky (info) thread for the top of the forum, giving it capital letters saying:

NEWBIES!! PRIVATE PARKING TICKET? EVEN AN OLD ONE? ***READ THIS FIRST*** Thankyou!

and making sure it covers in simple terms what all the acronyms mean, how to appeal with a DOZEN linked examples...how to win at POPLA stage...what to do if you miss the appeal deadline & get to debt collector letters stage...and yet every day, newbies don't read it.

But please don't disappear, we do want you to win at POPLA so please post any questions...AFTER reading the stickies (info threads 'stuck' on the board at the top).
