Private parking.

Hi,

Please forgive any ignorance but have never entered a forum before.

I parked in a car park behind a takeaway while I ordered some food, when I came back I had received a Parking Charge Notice for £100 stating I had parked in a disabled bay without a valid blue badge on display. I have not been to this car park for quite some time and didn't know it had now become a private car park. When I parked my car it was next to a small van and was very dark. When I got back to the car and read the notice I had a look for the disabled bay and although very pale and worn it was there. The ticket was issued at 20:08, is there anything I can do about this or do I just pay :(.

Thanks in advance

    You do not pay!

    You need to start by carefully reading the Newbies Sticky at the top of this forum. This outlines your situation and the various avenues for seeing them off.

    Which firm issued the ticket?

    also read the NEWBIES sticky thread above this one, it tells you everything you need to know about this topic
  • The firm is called ANPR Ltd?
