This happened to me in an Aldi car park. I knew I was likely to overstay so I went back into the store and explained it to the manager. He gave me his name and contact number in case I got a parking ticket.
Fortunately, I didn’t need it, probably because my car left on top of a breakdown vehicle.
To confirm the car did not exit on a repair truck,0 -
What is the parking company?2

Do I appeal first via eurocarparks appeal process (I have checked on their website and much personal information is required) or send the "Blue template" that is talked about in the main thread?0
