Which parking company please?


Tell them to sort it out, otherwise it becomes a No Shopping Zone in future for you and your family!

Hi,
The company is Park Watch

The Keeper has protections in law that The Driver does not. You may find this can be beaten easier at PoPLA by The Keeper than by The Driver.

It's up to you but if the shopping centre owner/manger can't or won't help, you may find the Keeper has a better chance of beating this scam than The Driver. In that case you should edit your post to remove information about who did what and only refer to The Driver and The Keeper in your posts.
Parking scammers read these posts.

Please confirm that you have found the NEWBIES that was just underneath where you clicked on the button.

Send the template in blue as already advised then read up on what to do if/when it rejected. PoPLA won't care about mitigation so there is no point in mentioning someone was delivering life saving oxygen, but it will be a valid point if this ever got to court.

Please complain to your MP about this disgraceful unregulated scam. It really is the only way to stop this sort of disgusting behaviour.

I'm not sure on how to find this section you are referring to "Read the NEWBIE section and in particular post # 1, scroll down to the bottom and find the BLUE text appeal and send it to the PPC. At the same time complain to the"

One click back, first post down, right below where you clicked on the NEW THREAD button!

Hmmm. Thought so.

Coupon-mad

All you need to do, is complain to the shopping centre first.

Google them and email or ring them (see their 'contact us' info) and talk about disability discrimination as you were a carer saving your Mum's life and will publicise this in the local paper if it is not cancelled forthwith. It is illegal to harass (or charge money to) a person with protected characteristics or their carer, for a situation caused by the disability, which this emergency certainly was.

DO NOT let them pass your details to the parking firm unless you couch your complaint by not naming yourself as the driver...just say your were an occupant of the car and assisting your Mum as can be seen by the images, which back up the truth of the matter.

Equality Act 2010 protects your Mum, and you as her emergency carer that day.

If the above fails then send the usual NEWBIES thread template, and do not wait past the 28 days to appeal, to get a POPLA code. No saying who was driving.

OP, have you based your forum username on your real name?

If so, you would be wise to get your forum username changed to something very much more anonymous.

To help with that, you might like to read this short extract from The MSE Forum Guide - Frequently Asked Questions & Rules:

Q. How can I change my username?

A. In most circumstances, this is not permitted.

The only reason we will change your username is if it puts your privacy at risk. This usually means you've inadvertently registered using your name, email address or something that gives away your identity within your username.

If you fall into this category, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com and request that it is changed, giving three alternative usernames in order of preference.

It is not a fine it is a claim for the damage you inflicted on them by allegedly breaching an alleged contract.

Ah, but if it was in a No Parking (under any circumstances) Zone, then there could never have been a contract to breach in the first place. No offer of parking: no contract.
