    REMEMBER ONE IMPORTANT RULE.....
    they can only INVOICE (its not a charge or penalty) the person who parked the car.... not the registered keeper.....

    Simply notify them that you did not park the car in the car park and that you are not legally obliged to give the persons name of whom parked the car.

    They can not chase or force the invoice charge on you if they can not prove you parked the car
    What are you talking about?

    The above is untrue and misleading.

    Have you not read the POFA Schedule 4?

    The driver I assume didn't think it would be an issue as there were loads of empty spaces throughout the entirety of the car park.

    You are not dealing with John Lewis here, but some of the worst scammers in the country. Why did the driver park in a manner as to breach a contract to which they agreed to be bound?
    When did they agree to the "contract"?

    Cruzty, I suggest you read Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act before again posting on here.

    Something tells me that we might well be seeing Cruzty back here again before too long - asking for help - if he continues to believe his own version of how all this stuff works.

    Potentially expensive naivety.
    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.

    Private Parking Firms - Killing the High Street
  • Human family.. I'm so glad that we can stick together to fight these so called animalistic firms that in simple terms prey on those who are not so knowledgeable in this particular field of knowledge to purely fill their pockets.
    After discovering this site I must say that I'm truly amazed at the knowledge base expressed here and I thank all of you.
    My understanding as the initial starting point is for the keeper on day 26 to send the blue text as per the Newbie thread to the company putting his/her name and address details as keeper and wait for their response.
