    Umkomaas is correct , it may be a car park near Sainsbury's , but it's a large assumption to assume that it's a Sainsbury's car park

    If it's not , then Sainsbury's may wash their hands of it

    In which case contact the landowner or managing agent if it's a retail park

    Check your facts , then you can complain to the correct people

    Ignore the elf trolls with nothing better to do , stick them on your ignore list
  • Not sure if this link is of any help: http://retail.savills.co.uk/search/view/scheme/2152, which reads "Location: Bolton Shopping Park fronts the A579 (Trinity Street) ring road and adjoins Sainsbury's with shared access and integrated car parking.", but the site doesn't show Sainsbury's on it's tenacey map.

    Looking at Google Street View it does seem to be a single large retail park that Sainsbury's is on, although the car park does look divided from left (Sainsbury's) to right (rest of the stores), but signs all around are marked with Euro Car Parks.

    It could simply mean that Sainsbury's is just a client of Savills separately, or that Sainsbury's has dealt with the landowner directly, and Savills manages the remaining units and Euro Car Parks "manages" the whole site.

    Although, the best bet really would be do go in and ask at Sainsbury's, and to also SAR (Subject Access Request) Euro Car Parks, for the original ticket, and all other data corresponding to the ticket.

    also bear in mind that normally Sainsburys do not use ECP, they use a different company, adding more weight to it being managed by Savills or whoever

    a complaint to Savills with the pcn ref and name and address and email added may bear fruit

    Savills can be helpful.
    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.

    Sainsbury's used Euro Car Parks a lot years back (my local stores used them), maybe even exclusively, until they starting using Horizon Parking. When I was in Cornwall over the Summer the Newquay store still used ECP, as did Helston.

    I didn't go to Cornwall just to check Sainsbury's car parks mind you :rotfl:

    What utter nonsense.

    Only when you take posts entirely out of context, as you appear to have unfortunately done with your ranting here:

    How do you explain someone getting a CCJ and being made homeless as a result of a PCN when the car did not even belong to them?

    What about a PPC that changed the timestamps on their photos to make it look like people parked longer than they really did?

    What about parking companies that don't have planning permission for scameras or advertising consent for signs, the latter being a criminal offence?

    What about scammers carrying a portable no parking sign, placing it next to a car, taking a picture, then taking the sign away afterwards to reuse elsewhere?

    What about companies issuing tickets on a public highway?

    What about companies issuing tickets where they don't have a contract with the landowner?

    What about unregulated scammers using ANPR scameras that don't record parking time. The UK government has declared these unfit for purpose and banned their use in council and local authority car parks.

    All of the above and more has happened, and many of these activities are still happening.

    No, it was a perfectly reasonable reaction to your sweeping generalisation...

    Goodnight. Sleep tight.

    What was it you were needing help with?
    If you ask now, perhaps you will have the answer waiting for you when you wake up? :)

    Otherwise, not sure how you plan to contact me...:cool:
