Thank You all for your kind posts & to Beamerguy for the email address, I have just been to my local Tesco with my evidence of my car being registered disabled & documents & the letter of the fine, Ive spoken to the manager who has taken a copy of all the evidence given & will give it to the person who can deal with the issue when hes on his next shift to see what can be done, but they were very sympathetic with my case & apologetic, I was also told they bought in Horizon due to the number of taxis & cabs that were taking up the customer car spaces as the Tescos is very near to Gatwick & the taxis could get to airport customers very quickly from there & action needed taking against these, but innocent person like myself are being affected, if this issue isnt sorted in the best way I will contact the above email address & complain to Jason Wulczuk, I am a disabled person in a motability car in a disabled bay, we have been parking in the disabled bay for the past 6 months with no issues & cant see why I cant park in the Tescos private car park when shopping in my local store, thanks again for the kind posts, will update as soon as I here anything x

Hey, good for you, please do not take the word of a manager, right now you are on a ticking time bomb to appeal. You must email Jason with all the info you have and what the manager said, guarantee it will be cancelled, if not Jason will hear from me.
So you know, Horizon are simply just another parking company on the "get rich scheme" scam
Do let us know please, it will not take long

my dad was actually sitting in the car at the time with the engine running, in one of the photos you can see the radio light was on due to my dad sitting in the car waiting for me,

I'm just thinking out loud here but in the legid sphere of operation, it is a recognised abuse of a Blue Badge when the disabled person is left in the car, whilst the able-bodied driver goes-off to do whatever.

Even though you are actually disabled, the PPC-clone rues may be
applied in a similar manner - Many do have form for using the same terms/offence codes etc.

possible pogo, but virtually impossible for Horizon to prove that, it is simple pictures not a video. Is just a simple Horizon money scam and not in the interests of Tesco, hence it will be cancelled

As I read this, the OP, who has a disability, was the one who left the car to go into Tesco while her father remained in the car. Nothing untoward with that is there?

Correct, it is a no brainer for Tesco to cancel it

I got stung in Asda's car park in September I forgot my BB, I contacted the management company that owned the land and still haven't heard back so assuming they have cancelled it.
In danger of getting my head ripped off here but: As your father was the driver and not disabled he could of parked elsewhere and drove up to the front to drop you off and pick up...That way it leaves the bay available for a disabled driver.

Not that proof matters very much to Horizon, or any PPC for that matter.

Nothing untoward at all, Just that I think the Horizon ticketer may have jumped to conclusions and took a cheap-shot. We have seen on here often enough that many blue Badge Holders have failed to heed that warning in the explanatory booklet that comes with their badge.

Which of course makes it all the more important to get it canceled by the store or landowner, so there is record/forewarning of their contractors activities.

There is a moral to this story. Tesco engaged Horizon to chase off the taxis - and I bet there are no taxis hanging around now, so who do Horizon turn to? Tesco's own customers, those for whom they were trying to free up space in the first place. Oh, the irony ... if it wasn't all so sad.

Same story right across the country - fly parkers quickly dealt with and removed, leaving PPCs to turn their attention to legitimate car park users like patients, customers, freeholders, leaseholders and tenants to sate their moneylust.
