Parking Offence

Hi - don't know if anyone can help - I was fined for parking by a national DIY store for parking on their car park during a football match (£85 the robbing b*****ds!) - I was told by a friend that this wasn't legal as it's not a police notice but a private one, and there's no way they can therefore trace the owner of the vehicle - however, I have received a letter this morning (after 1 month) reminding me that I haven't yet paid my £85 and to do so immediately.

Does anyone know where I stand on this issue legally? Or maybe point me to a site that could tell me perhaps?

Thanks

It's a contractual obligation rahter than a criminal, or civil offense, I think.

For more information try:

Hi Leif.
I was merely returning the 4000 word computer generated thesis one of your friends accidentally left behind on my thread in the other place. I would have thought you would have been grateful to get it back on their behalf. It would be a shame if they missed out on their very own PhD because they carelessly left it behind.

I'm sure I've seen some stuff with your name on it inadvertently left in places where it had no business. No doubt that's why you've forgotten where you left it and never retrieved it. As I'm a lot nicer than Bogey I'll return that for you too. You're obviously going for another PhD. But didn't you realise that they don't like stuff off the net to be submitted? Never mind something written by a computer!

With any luck Bogey will see sense and go to the polce himself before I get bored with doing good deeds 0:)

By the way, I had a look at the Honest John website and found some very interesting things there. But then I found that Bogey had already done the research for me and put it on his forum.

You are a one, Leif! Swearing you didn't know he had returned. And his posts sandwiched between yours. I would have thought you had analytical skills sharper than that. How come you spotted his return here, called for his banning, but didn't notice him posting next to you there, with the identical log in (just before he was banned there too)?

Do you know of any other sites he's been banned from? Not counting the two you were also on, of course! (And why is that Jack Russell always calling for him to be banned?)

Reading his side of the story, or rather the actual evidence, was even more interesting than reading your story. [reply] [Complain about this post]

Andy,

First, Was there a notice visibly displayed warning of 'possible' clamping or fines being imposed?

If so, they may try to make you pay, but this is unlikely.

Secondly, How did they get your details?
If they 'caught' you in the car park and said you must pay they should have made you cough up there and then!

The only way they could ensure that you pay the 'penalty' would be for them to 'Clamp' your car until the 'Release Fee' was paid!!

Try contacting the store manager and offer to negotiate a 'Reasonable Fee' for parking there.
Or,
Seek legal advice.

You could simply refuse to pay and ignore their letters completely and see how far they rock the boat!?

Keep us informed.

Andy, they probably obtained your details from DVLC, it costs IIRC, £6.00 and is quite legal.

You are under no obligation to pay, but they can sue you. You were lucky, the B&Q car park in Reading is next to the Madjeski Stadium, during football matches clampers wait in plain vans and clamp the obvious wrong uns.
