Emailed them? What about? I don't see that we advised you to do that, unless it was a complaint?PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

I was told to contact the land owner, have I done wrong?0

ECP are certainly not a retail park landowner. Not sure why you emailed the parking firm but no harm done!
You merely needed to read the colourful entrance plinth advertising the retail units at the location, because at the bottom of that welcome sign, it likely shows the property agents who run the place for the landowner.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

It wasn’t a retail park, it was just a car park on the outskirts of a town I am unfamiliar with.It’s not close to where I live.I think I’m in a mess1

You are not. Please re-read all the replies because you already know you are safe. Maybe you just need reminding of what we said.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Thank you, I am just nervous. I live on my own and not great with stress, I dread what the postman will bring next. I hope I haven’t spoiled anything, I just presumed they were the landowner.

If you tell us where the car park was (should be on your letters) or look at google maps and work out where you were someone may be able to help you work out the owner of the land. Wigan council have loads of stuff published on line about their redevelopment plans which include several bits of land currently used as car parks.2026 Decluttering and redistribution 201/1526 Major job list 40/500 Total 241/2026

Doesn't look like a complaint to landowner will get far - from a 2017 newspaper article - 'It was established that the land is owned by one of a number of companies in the British Virgin Islands, one of which is called West End Paradise Limited.' Various schemes to redevelop the site (the Old Town Hall site) have fallen through and Euro Parks have continued to use it for car parking.2026 Decluttering and redistribution 201/1526 Major job list 40/500 Total 241/2026
