  • As a thank you for paying your parking charge, the Fairer Parking Scheme will give you cashback of 10% when you spend up to £100, at a store of your choice on the retail park where you received your Parking Charge.

    umm , is that not entrapment ?  the reason for first charge was bad or missing signage 

    after writing to shops on site , if they did not help with ticket a 10% would be last thing on my mind , in fact the whole site would be boycotted

    Wonder what relative of GOOFY dreamed this up. Are the retailers joining in the scam ?
    Do people really go back when they know a parking cowboy is scamming them.

    Someone, somewhere has the brain of a tadpole

    • £100 parking charge
    • £100 store charge (less 10% - and I bet it's the store swallowing that discount!). 
    • £190 - one hell of an expensive short overstay! 
    £90 extra is even more than the usual £60 scam admin charge!

    What Wally is going to fall for all that?  
    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.

    Me too.  I think it's maybe an Apple/iPad/Safari thing.

    If it's not too long a piece, and not too much trouble, any chance that someone could just copy and paste the text to the thread?  
    In Chrome you click on Advanced and then click the link marked Unsafe. I assume other browsers offer a similar mechanism.

    In short you enter details via this (unsecure) website to register for the cashback/voucher scheme, then get sent to a page to find your PCN. I didn't enter any details in the form so I've no idea whether any subsequent pages are secure.

    They seem to share the same press officer as the BPA, James Harrison or maybe he was sacked by the BPA for being a Muppet.

    NOBODY should ever click on ADVANCED
    It's google giving a warning, click and go further can add very dodgy cookies on your PC etc
