    I was not offered half it is now still £160 from the original £80 charge.


    I feel it is compete harassment 8 letters with 2 in 2 days! ( I have put that in my letter.)


    I called B&Q's head office and they said I had to go through UKPC's appeals process it was nothing to do with them!


    I guess I’ll wait and see. Hopefully it can’t go further they don't have a leg to stand on in court? I was not over the free time and just because I parked very badly I did not stop someone parking next to me I had not straddled over 2 bays. I am very angry with all these threats over a baseless charge.
    Write a letter to B&Q. You are more likely to get hold of someone who knows what they are talking about via a letter. Ask them whether they can cancel the parking charge and if so ask them to do so. Tell them that if they don't it will affect your customer relationship with them.

    As I said, you brought it on yourself by contacting them and doing silly things like making an offer.

    UKPC never does court.

    B&Q are lying - of course they are involved. I'd go to the CEO - [EMAIL="Kevin.OByrne@kingfisher.com"]Kevin.OByrne@kingfisher.com[/EMAIL]
