Mcdonalds Parking Fine

sturman

I received a parking fine from Macdonalds for overstaying their two hour limit by 20 minutes, It was six in the morning and i was taking a long drive from Bucks to Teeside, I felt weak and tired so i pulled off the M1 at Marham Vale into a Mcdonalds next to motorway and bought a breakfast, I dont have the receipt but its on my bank statement. I feel asleep. i never left the car.  I contacted UKPC told them the situation ,sent statement with my proof , however they rejected my claim and insistecd on paying the fine.They said i could appeal to POPLA.

Any suggestions

Thanks

Normally complaining to the landowner is a good idea, but this site seems to be a complete mess with four separate parking companies infesting various parts of the site and presumably under different owners.

Not to worry though, as UKPC almost always use DCB Legal who file county claims that are discontinued.

I'd just ignore and come back here if you get a Letter Before Claim from DCB Legal.

Neither McDonald's or the halfwits at UKPC issue "Parking Fines" what ever your appeal stated it wouldn't be accepted they actually love it when you over stay that's how they try to prise money out of people that give in thinking they have a fine, it's just a speculative invoice for a contract they say you broke.

Read the stickies at the top of this forum where all is explained.

Thanks for the responses,

I went back to the MacDonalds in question and spoke to the manager, she was sympathetic and told me that she will speak to HQ seeing that i was only 8 minutes longer than the allowed time.

Unfortunately i have received a demand letter from ZZPS with a demand for £170, not sure what to do now. I've tried reading stuff obn here but im not very techie and dont know what or how to read a 'sticky'

Any advice would be appreciated

Yes you do. Everyone can read it and it's important you learn how easy a forum is to open pages & get back to page one from anywhere, in one click.

My signature tells you where to click on the page, to view NEWBIES PLEASE READ THESE FAQS FIRST, which is a sticky 'pinned Announcement' thread at the top of the thread list.

Your stage is post/reply #4 of the NEWBIES thread; the post with pictures of £170 threatograms. Easy to see!

Ask her if she is prepared to lose a customer or more once you tell your family and friends not to use any McDonalds anywhere ever again if that is their attitude!
A sticky is just another name for an announcement and is so called because it "sticks" to the top of the forum.  One click back from here will take you to the page with all the announcements (stickies) and you read them like any other post, just click on them.
