Euro Car Parks

I have received a parking charge notice for parking at my local Coop from Euro Car Parks for £60 if paid within 14 days.  I was three quarters of an hour over my time.  I have paid it as have panicked and do not like owing money.  Can anyone tell me if this is a legitimate company and do they have a right to charge me.  Also is there an appropriate letter to send them if it’s in my favour.  Thanks.  Jan

    Too late if you paid it , yes they can invoice you , but only a judge can decide if it requires payment , in court

    Read the newbies FAQ sticky thread near the top of the forum , in Announcements , third thread down from the top

    Yes it's a legitimate car parking company

    Yes they can send a PCN invoice

    Too late to appeal , but complain to the coop

    The horse has bolted for you now ... you paid ?   Euro are legitimate, well as much as they can be in the parking scam industry.

    Best to move on and make sure you don't do it again

    Wow.  Then you came here too late.  You paid a scam industry, so out of control that the Government is stepping in:

    Also is there an appropriate letter to send them if it’s in my favour. 
    No chance, you paid them!  This entire forum tells people not to do that, and how to appeal and win.  You now can't do that.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
