Parking fine for being stuck in the car park?

Hello. 

I went shopping at my local Asda and picked up my girlfriend from the Asda eastlands car park which is owned by parking eye near co op arena Manchester. 

I got stuck for a long period of time and could not get off. In total I was on there 1 hour 15 mins and they’ve charged me for being 15 mins over. 

I spent ages trying to get off the car park but I was stuck in a queue. 

Is there anything I can do?.

    It isn't owned by ParkingEye.

    Obviously you won't be paying.

    Hello. Thanks for replying to me.

    i have looked through it and my biggest takeaway was do not own up to it.

    Unfortunately an hour ago I emailed them to appeal and told them I was driving and it wasn’t my fault that I couldn’t leave the car park due to traffic so I don’t think I have a leg to stand on now.

    Really? Where do I say that?  I don't. Surely the biggest takeaway is that PLAN A is not 'appeal'. Not sure why you'd rush in an appeal before coming here though.  Cases are always so much harder when people have done that.

    Try Plan A like everyone is advised to do.

    Plus if Asda Aren't the landowner,  complain about your PCN to the managing agent or landowner,  as required,  plan A 

    Plan A is always the best option,  round that area traffic jams are inevitable
