Parking fine on a Sunday night

Elle_amanda

Hi,

I've done some research into this but couldn't find anything.

I have recently received a £70 fine from horizon parking (sainsburys) for exceeding the car park limit by 26mins.

Now apart from the fact that it works out at £2.69 per minute, my main irk is that I parked on a Sunday from 1900-2130 where I would not be affecting their customer parking at all.

I know people ignore these all time but doesn't sit well with me. My first thought is to chat with store management and see if they are willing to quash the fine, but I'm sure this must of happened loads of.times but can't find any examples.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thank you

nothing to do with customers or if the car park was full or empty

where you buying goods in sainsburys ?


if you where , then by all means ask the shop to get it cancelled

Surely at that time on a Sunday Sainsburys was closed, far from being irked about that why do you think you have a right to park on private land when the landowner's business isn't operating?

So forget that line of approach in any appeal, you could try the manager but I doubt he/she would be too sympathetic.

Properly informed people who have done their research do not ignore Parking charges in England and Wales.

It's not a fine!

However the charge by these scammers is obviously a totally over the top outrageous fee of that you are perfectly correct.

Your first line of action should be to read the newbies start here thread as your appeal points are not any different to any one else.

Unless you are in Scotland or NI where you can ignore.

apart from the sunday night problem (which isnt relevant) or the empty but private car park (which isnt relevant) or the extoritionate charge (which was thrown out of court 12 months ago - see BEAVIS), you are saying there are no similar threads about Horizon and Sainsburys ?
