    this is not a PARKING TICKET , one was not issued was it? , this is a begging letter by a company that stretches legality to the limits

    No, I only got a letter through the post.

    complain to ALDI anyway, get them to cancel the parking charge

    but appeal online as well, with the BPA template appeal in blue text

    maybe you needed to enter your VRN at the tills , before exit ?

    I will do, thank you so much :)

    I have had a response from Aldi.....

    Hi. Thanks for your message. In order to appeal the parking charge you would need to provide proof of purchase in either a bank statement or a receipt. If you paid cash, the Store Manager may be able to reprint a copy of your receipt if you can provide them with enough information to do so. i.e Approximate amount spent, anything that you purchased that day. If you take the parking charge into the store with you, this will give them a rough idea of what time you went through the checkout.

    Once you have the receipt you would then need to appeal to :

    Parking Management Team
    Aldi Stores
    Holly Lane
    Atherstone
    Warwickshire
    CV9 2SQ

    A member of the Parking Management team will then contact you regarding your appeal.
    We hope this helps.
    Thanks again.
    Kate Aldi UK Facebook Team.
