euro car parks fine

I have had a letter from euro car parks for an overstay in a free sainsburys car park by approx 20 mins.I was late back to the car but had on display my sons blue badge (son was with me) we were late back to the car as my son had had an accident.I have no receipt from the shopping I got in sainsburys and paid cash so can't prove I even shopped in th e store and no proof that my son had an accident.Do I ignore or appeal??.Thanks in advance

    Complain like mad in store to a sainsbugs manager that their agents are harassing a genuine customer.


    Also, read the Sticky thread for NEWBIES and appeal using the template contained in said NEWBIES thread. Do both in case sainsbugs don't get the ticket cancelled. In addition, complain to the BPA that the parking company have not abided by their Code of Practice which states that cars displaying a blue badge must not be ticketed.


    Do not pay, do not ignore, do not reveal who was driving. This assumes the event happened in England or Wales and wasn't a hire/lease vehicle.


    ps.


    It's not a fine, it is a speculative invoice.
