Her ladyship drops by this store two weeks ago and spends £350 on soft furnishings.
This past weekend a letter drops through the letter box with a parking ticket for £50 kindly sent to her by Total Parking Solutions for having parked in Dunelm's car park for two hours and SEVEN MINUTES
Now I have to write a letter telling TPS to stick it. A letter which I will copy to the CEO of Dunelm, the MP for Warrington, the local papers, the trading standards officer for Warrington and all the radio stations in the area.
Anyone got any other ideas? Clearly, I am not going to pay and would quite enjoy the day in court but her ladyship doesn't want that.

Or you could just email the company explaining you were there for the shops, they run a car-park near us with a 3 hour limit, Mrs M regularly gets done for going over but waves a couple of receipts at them and they let it go. If that doesn't work, then carry on with the hissy fit.

Yes, the free parking time shoulda been 2 hours and ten minutes. Where do you draw your line?
Pay your fine! |

Is it clear when parking that there is a two hour limit?

Hope this ends well for you.
More worrying than the £50 ticket, is the store expenditure of £350 as this store has long followed others in building a huge customer base and then lowering standards with more cheaply made goods. Add the poor treatment of staff and you are left with a company that is a pale shadow of the early version, good luck. |

This is not a fine(only the police and council can issue a parking fine), just a request for payment.
do not reply to it,just ignore it and every chance nothing will happen. The worst way drag it through the appeals procedure, odds are massively in your favour there. |

Ignore it they will threaten u again, ignore it after a couple of letters from a debt recovery agency you will hear no more
They pray on people who panic and pay up |

Thank you all for that.
The problem I have with these parking firms is the letters they write. Her Ladyship was really upset, she doesn't want any debt collectors knocking on the door - she had that with a Vodaphone dispute and ended up with an apology but sleepless nights until it was resolved. And she is an intelligent professional. Imagine if it was some widow woman living on her own and she received one of these letters. She'd panic so much that she would pay up immediately, thinking she was in the wrong. And that cannot be right. This is the new style of clamping and it really ticks me off. But once again, thank you all. William |
