Didn’t actually use Morrisons I used the leisure next to it which is ok to do as the carpark is free. I honestly completely forgot there was a time limit.

Says limit is 2 hours i over stayed by 13mins


in the second pic you can see me clearly in the driver seat 🙄 this is dated 23/01/2026 to be paid £60 by/on 6/02/2026.


is there anyway I can appeal & win? Don’t want to not pay then have to pay £100 if it gets rejected 😑


thanks for your time & help in advance

    What’s your reason to appeal?

    You parked on private land beyond the limit.

    Just pay up.

    @honeypt18

    Just complain to the Store Manager. Even if they don't cancel it, you will NEVER have to pay this scam invoice.

    Which Parking firm?

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Are you Daniel Barnett the legal on LBC. ??

    IF NOT, he comes out with same rubbish .. JUST PAY

    13 MINUTES OVERSTAY IS NOT A REASON FOR £100. Normally ParkingEye is in Morrisons

    Contact the CEO and ask what sort of scam is he running ? Especially when there is a lack of check out staff which causes a delay,

    thanks but I wasn’t in the store just used the free car park so not sure how to go about it 🙇🏼‍♀️

  • A friend of mine accidentally entered Morrison's car park twice within the hour, i.e., shopped, went home

    and noted they'd left their credit card behind and rushed back - they had his credit card, he rushed off home and them noted the one hour no ret rule - he got worried, rang the store manger who sounded helpful; they took his details/time/date/car reg etc and my friend heard noting from the parking enforcement lot.

    BTW. This was about 3/4 years ago

    Don't worry about that, just complain to Morrisons and threaten to withdraw your custom unless they sort it out.
