EuroCarPark Blue Badge fine

ajnicho

Recently had an event in a hotel over 3 days that uses Eurocarparks to manage their car park. They have a computer inside that you have to put your reg in to pay for your ticket and if you are a blue badge holder it says you're exempt.

On all 3 occasions I entered the car park, scanned in my blue badge in the foyer and it said exempt, then when I was finished at the event I exited.

I've just now received 3 parking fines saying I did not pay, and they are saying I should have scanned my blue badge before exit, not on entry. Surely if I enter and scan my badge which makes me exempt for 24 hours they should not be charging me £100 fine for each occurrence?

I would be grateful for any help on this.

If you read the NEWBIE sticky you will see that Plan A is best, contact the hotel and/or the event organisers and insist they cancel it for you.

Appeal each pcn to ECP if the deadline hasn't expired

Otherwise ignore them for now

Complain about it to your local MP and to the CEO of the hotel chain, in writing or by email

Put in a complaint to Head Office UK of the hotel, if it's a chain. Do that now.
