Help!! Received a parking ticket from shopping in LIDL!!

Lckyr3

I came home today to find Parking Charge Notice from Smart Parking Ltd. I was shopping in a LIDL store in N.Ireland. I didn't see any signs regarding parking but then I wasn't looking for them. I paid for my groceries in cash that day and I never kept the receipt. What can I do to avoid paying this ticket? Will LIDL provide a duplicate reciept if I ask for it. I can provide times and exactly what I bought. It also says I have 14 days to pay but in smaller print it is to be paid by 9.11 and that's 8 days 😡😡

You DEMAND to see the manager with a trolley of shopping at hand.
You then produce the offending ticket and you DEMAND NOT ASK, DEMAND that the manager uses the instore system to cancel the ticket.

Yes they can, takes about 30 seconds.

If they refuse, ask for a official complaint form from the store and fill it in.

Same as all these threads mentioned in this one below:

Easy to search the forum for (NI Law is the same as Scotland as regards private land which you would know if you read 'NEWBIES PLEASE READ THESE FAQS FIRST' at the top of the forum for people to read before posting!).

You are in a tizz about nothing at all. Do not appeal, DO NOT say who was driving, ignore it because it was in NI where there is no 'keeper liability' for private PCNs.

You can certainly complain to the store though. But NOT saying who was driving in case they pass it to the parking shark.
