Euro Car Park Fine Sainsburys

Hi, I've just got a fine from Euro Car park for parking in Sainsburys for 3h15 mins ( I think the max is 2 hours)  when I was having a bad day. I didn't shop in Sainsburys, just used their car park to go into the town centre.
Do I just need to suck it up and pay the fine as I was so over the time limit?

    I suspect the free parking is for Sainsbury customers. Whilst you could fight this ticket you should probably stop using their car park if you aren't shopping there.
  • I parked there because I was returning an item I’d purchased the day before
  • 2021. Parked in Disable Bay displayed blue badge. Was not aware council had leased or sold car park to Euro Car Parks, no signage on entering or cctv. Npr notices. Previously parked no charge. Very small sign above payment box stating no concessions for Disabled. The  box some 400 yards away from bays. Ignored now have N1SDT. I'm appealing against this speculative invoice. Did originally appeal no acknowledgement or POPLA number. Do I stand a chance?

    Yes you certainly do.

    All parking court claims should be defended. No risk of a CCJ as long as you follow forum advice at each stage.

    But you need to start a thread of your own and show us the claim form suitably redacted of QR Code, password, claim no., VRM & data.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • It's not a fine just a speculate invoice from a bunch of chancers
