Smart parking and Matalan grrr

Hi, I can't track down my original post about Matalan and dmp letter, ( I'm not great at these forums) I have read the 'sticky' things as requested. I had a reply from Matalan today saying that I should just pay the fine and that they would send me £50 in vouchers to spend in store (no thanku). What's your thoughts on a nice reply??

    Just click on you user name and select 'Find other posts' to list all your past entries. Anyway, I've done it for you, here's the link:

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5611982

    Now go to the bottom right hand corner of the first forum page and click on Crabman or soolin and PM them and ask them to merge this and your original thread. Otherwise this will all become very messy with mixed advice on different threads which at best will be confusing, at worst expensive!
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Take the vouchers as a goodwill gesture.

    Do NOT pay the charge. Simple.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
