Hi,
I have received a 'notice to keeper' by post (charge being £40/70) for parking in sainsburys 9 days ago for 30 mins beyond 'allowed stay' of 2 hours. I was shopping at the end of that period and have receipt timed at 6 mins before.
Evidence provided is number plate photos as I entered and left. I am a very regular customer, usually only shopping there. They were very busy that morning and short staffed so took ages to pay after ages queuing at customer services to return item.
Have I any chance of cancelling this?
Advice welcomed.
Thanks.

probably
read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread near ther top of this forum
complain to the retailer, preferably their CEO at head office, with proof of patronage
and make sure any appeal to ECP themselves is as keeper, using the blue text appeal , plus ensuring it is made within their 28 day window for appeals
do NOT reveal who was driving, so no blabbing0 -
Hit Sainsburys hard. Their staff shortages and queues seem to have been causative factors. You can try your local manager (not CS fob-off desk) as he/she should be aware of the problems caused that day.
Take receipts for the day, back copies of receipts/bank/cc statements, your Nectar card, proving regular patronage and ask the manager to intervene on behalf of a very regular customer.
If that doesn't work, then it's a written escalation to the CEO - he will no doubt appreciate the critical importance of regular customers when company bottom-lines are at stake.
I'd tell either of the above that since the shock of receiving this you have taken the opportunity to visit Morrisons and you were so surprised at the quality of their products and how much cheaper they are than Sainsburys .....!Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

Throughout here you are advised never to reveal who was driving
You need to edit your posts to remove details of who was driving
