    Add to the above, lying in court and changing the signs in the middle of the appeal process, and not having a contract with the landowner to operate on site. What a bunch of [STRIKE]!!!!!![/STRIKE] white knights these parking operators are.

    A little irked at the OPs post. When using a car park to turn around, and getting £100 acker fine through the post. The people asking me for money are Cowboys and chancers. I am unhappy at keeper liability being introduced in Scotland, but the capping of such eye watering fines is one positive.

    And we currently have a person fighting a ParkingEye PCN for driving through an access road with P/Eye cameras on it, then they parked correctly in the adjacent NCP car park!

    P/Eye unlawfully harvested the car's keeper data even though the person parked in an NCP car park. This is due to ANPR being not fit for purpose on private land.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I think the OP is one of those people that likes to start an argument and then walks away leaving everyone else wasting their time.

    I shalln't be bothering with this thread again.

    Or lacks the intellectual capacity to argue their corner.

    If i can add to this, i just received a PCN from Horizon after taking my 81 year old mother with alzheimers/dementia and limited mobility shopping at Tesco. I parked up in a disable parking bay stupidly thinking it was like the family parking bays and for elderly people like my mother, still looked for signs but nothing but after receiving the PCN i went back and what I should of done was twisted my head right round looked 30 to 40 feet away and 15 feet and there's the sign saying you must display a blue badge. So we must recky every car park before we park? Oh any advise with this will be appreciated? Did go into to Tesco but they say they cant do anything and must contact Horizon directly.

    The blue badge scheme doesn't apply to private land.
    The Equality act does , however and this states that reasonable adjustments must be made for those with a 'protected characteristics' ( ie a disability)



    not everyone with such a disability may possess a blue badge for various reasons, and they may also require extra time that ANPR cameras will not pick up on.
    So by default it could be argued that ANPR cameras and the requirement to display a blue badge infringes on the Equality act, even if you can register in store - that's another step an able bodied person wont have to make, and something that could be seen as having to make a fuss at a customer service point..


    So for fireballs case, start a new thread if you havent.
    Tell the PPc that an occupant of the vehicle has a protected characteristic if they refuse to cancel and it progresses to POPLA, complain to TESCO.


    I would take things further and tell POPLA that an occupant of the vehicle had/has a protected characteristic so the driver needed to use a disabled bay, knowing full well that POPLA do not care about such things as disablity laws/equalities act and will turn down the appeal,


    and then on the back of that go guns blazing for TESCO, as they are responsible for the actions of their agents, and they treat their customers who have had parking issues like someone who has walked dog !!!!!! on a new carpet.
