asda parking ticket from a private firm

You have to pay to park in a supermarket carpark?

voucher redeemable on purchase of goods

dont pay, have a look here for advice

i would not shop somewhere they charge you to park, even if it is redeemable.

i would not shop somewhere they charge you to park, even if it is redeemable.

That was my thoughts exactly and I phoned to complain and got told that if they didn't charge the car park would be full of workers from the nearby town centre.

Ib they do it to stop people parking there and going to work, mainly near city centre

i was gonna accept it thinking i may genuine have forgot to buy one and try to haggle the fine down.

however on finding the ticket i now feel they are trying to demand money with menaces (court proceedings).i now feel they should be treated as they think they can treat me.i am a bad person frightening people used to be my way

I know why they do it but just make it free for 2 hours.

I would pay chavman, you will only incur more cost if you do not

I understand your anger, have had it done to me

The Asda near me has same problem, if they did not charge for car parking, shoppers would never get in

As long as one spends £5 it is redeemable

I was 2 mins over, I was done

I was angry but paid anyway

It isn't a fine don't pay

You will shop at Wal Mart.

Tell them to go and fck themselves,and go somewhere else.Remind them what their annual loss from you is.what fools they are.

From what other people have told me its only enforceable if its issued by a council, they may send threatening letters but the chances they will take it to court are slim, they know 90% of people will pay up & though they send out letters they may keep sending them but they never follow it up, to get the bailiffs in they have to get a court order first & that step is just not taken by these shysters, they don't have to, they know most people pay up, a friend of mine has had a dozen of these tickets & thrown them in the bin over the last year or so he has heard nothing, yes you have to be prepared to be threatened & sadly everyone moans but most pay up.

The trouble with that seaview my Guiness is cheapest in Asda, it would cost me if I did not shop with them

my sister in law had one in tescos about 2 years..........didnt pay and they had no power to enforce it

I think firms give up when the costs outweigh the fine.

I once had a bill for not automatically renewing my car insurance, i paid for one year as that is what i wanted and sold the the car before the end of the cover. They tried to debit the 2nd year when i never requested it, usual crap they said i agreed to it under the t&c's.

Told them i wont ever pay the £80 as long as i live, didnt hear from them again.

I think as Chavman is such a bad and frightening person, he should make good on his threat and travel up to Birmingham to beat up an office full of debt collectors very badly. 

What a load of bollocks!

fine mate.if i spoke to you and explained to you that i would have you followed home and then pay to have you burgled and if i so wished i would beat you up myself how would you feel

I'd feel sorry for you.

my disposition wouldnt be as accomodating as you are encountering through a social medium

chavman exposed.

whats the joke

i find that most people are intimidated by me without losing my temper

Just go up to Birmingham and beat up an office full of debt collectors, then.  I look forward to reading about it in the paper.

Can you post up a picture of yourself, please, so we can all judge how frightening you are?

thats if i didnt nut the c*** before i got to the second sentence

Chavman's threat to have me followed home and burgled raised a wry chuckle.  I live in Liverpool, so it wouldn't be the first time.

i didnt threaten you at all.i was also aware of the story of the geezer who threatened gerrard.i believe they tied him up and left him in a derelict house for 3 days.

And why don't you follow me home and burgle me yourself, instead of paying someone else?  You could stop off on your way down to Birmingham to beat up the office full of debt collectors.

i think hijacking was all they had on him

Don't encourage him Tor.

jesus torque, chav's posts were hypothetical

pat them on the bottom

go and play your games

Me and a few comrades once occupied a bailiffs in Leicester. Far from beating us up, they phoned the police! Fecking pvssies.

same bloke was trying to pump dublin full of  through my mate

In Dublin's fair city where the girls are so pretty ....

i apologise to anyone ive offended

I know, Ibrahima, I wasn't serious either, just felt he deserved to have his lemons squeezed.  He sounds like a bit of a plum to me, talking about beating people up etc.

Ooops, bad timimg of my post there.  I apologise, too, then.

too late on his way

just angry about it.have a good night gents

If he is on his way, could somebody ask him to stop off at number 29 and get my DVD player back?

Ok Al. You givin Tor a pass?

Good night, Chavman.  Sorry I took the piss a bit.

I've never been to an Asda before, I've just looked up where my nearest one is and it's in Rye Lane, Peckham. I think I'll give it a miss as I'm not exactly a huge fan of that South London suburb at the best of times nor Asda's parking policy. I don't drink Guinness either by way so I wouldn't be saving anything on my weekly grog bill.

scouser int ya

Aah, I love a happy ending to a thread that deviates off course a wee bit.

You have not lived Slippy

Hope you had a Happy Christmas Slippy

I wish I had known one did not have to pay.....still good news for the OP

I think beating up the entire staff of the parking firm...may have got the OP in trouble with plod?

Easier to ignore it

Good work everyone.....funny stuff !

What right do they have on issuing you a ticket if you park in the "with child" space when you haven't got any kids....

Surely that is a form a discrimination.

'with child' has no legal basis (afaik) - it's just paint on the ground and ideal for Jagwar parking.

Yes. It discriminates between self-centred 'I'm alright Jack'ists and people who have a genuine need for a wider parking space to facilitate the entry, or exit, of children from the vehicle.

lol. Predictable.. and your comment takes no account of time of day, and number of empty child spaces and distance form the entrance

Hmmm. I must admit that it didn't occur to me to draw up a list of the varying requirements for such places or, indeed, the location of them.
Personally, I find it refreshing that the rule should be enforced stringently at all times of day regardless of distances involved. Far less complicated than having to produce some sort of sliding scale which would always be open to argument or abuse. Keep it simple.

I watched a training video decades ago. We saw a scruffy skinhead running along a pavement and shoving a lady roughly whilst appearing to grab at her handbag. He was actually trying to save from injury by a falling object as we discovered in the later scenes.
I'm a pooper gentleman - I wouldn't EVER intentionally or knowingly incomvenience a.n.other for my own gain. I just KNEW that someone would chomp on that particularly tasty hook... just dint know who!

Sorry fella you cant park here....we don't care if you're a jaffa, that space is reserved for mums with fat kids who probably has never seen a days exercise in all their lives.  Why should we force the poor little darlings traipse across a massive supermarket car park....They're our 'TARGET market'!!!!!!!.....So put up or shut up and pay the fine

So, Ivor, are you saying that the scruffy skinhead saved the woman's life? Very quick thinking on his part, although I DO fail to see the relevance. Keep on pooping!

In 21st century Britain, that woman would probably accuse him of groping.

It's just a little parable about making assumptions before we see the complete picture.

I see. I wonder how many times out of a hundred it would turn out to be true? I'm sure that the well-intentioned boy would understand.

If the 'parents with kids' part of the car park is full, and there are no 'disabled' bays, I drive around until I see two empty bays and park my Jagwar across both.

You have to look after your paint work..isn't it, Ifor?

You could always reimburse your fine by missing out a couple scans on the self service tills.

you dont pay private parking cpmpanies ,you dont aknowledge them and you never contact them ....thats just a fish on signal and they will annoy you .

Had these before ,the ones that look like an official one ,checkered around the edges .And just ignored it and it went away although i am unsure about english law ,seems you are pretty much treated as  "white bait" ,with little rights and zero protection ....about time you lot toughened up ,hopefully this weather will give you a bit of spine and man you all up .....yous ave went all soft ...innit

Is that the Wealdstone Raider

That's chavman. I hope he didn't follow up his threat to Tor. Said he would be sleeping with the fishes today.

paying to go shopping at Asda

We are all fcking doomed

Since when did Asda start charging for parking ??
Never !!

This is a subject I have researched extensively since I got an unfair parking fine. I parked in a NCP car park in Leicester and paid by phone with my credit card, I then got fined for not displaying my ticket. I appealed through NCP's own appeal system stating that the whole point of paying via phone and by credit card is not having a parking ticket. They explained that my appeal had been upheld.

After doing some research on this I found out that they were judge, jury and executioner in their own appeal system and appeals never worked. The fine (usually £70) is completely arbitrary and they have no powers to enforce it. They issue the fine in black and yellow checks so it looks official. It's a numbers game for them as most people will pay up because they don't know their rights. They have no more authority to demand a payment from you than I have if you parked outside my house ans issued you with a £70 fine.

The chances of it going to court are virtually zero and if they did pursue it a judge would only award them what it cost them, ie about £3 or whatever the parking rate was. The £70 fine is completely arbitrary and a number just plucked out of the air by them.

With my new knowledge I never pay for parking where a private firm is concerned. It's somewhat of a hobby and new found sport for me. Since then I've had about 6-8 letters demanding money and I simply ignore them and that's the last of it.

You can't do this with council parking as they will pursue it and you will be fined for what they ask but as for private parking companies you can have your fun with them.

Spot on GOM. If you tell them to GTF, they generally will slink away and forget about it. They work on the premise if 50% of victims are scared and pay.

.......until they start bringing back the clamps to replace the fines

.......until they start bringing back the clamps to replace the fines

Simple solution.

Buy a Ferrari.

The wheels are too big for clamps.

As far as I can see, Asda are only trying to ensure that their customers can actually get to their shop. You may possibly find that the 'Pay and Display' system is a condition imposed by the local council. They would not like to see drivers ignoring their town-centre car parking facilities which supplies revenue to the council.
I'm sure that you can all see the problem perfectly well and would probably agree that this is a sensible, working solution...as long as it doesn't affect YOU!
Maybe it's time to just follow the rules. The car park  belongs to Asda (at least for the moment), so it's their rules.

You have to pay to park in The Premier Inn in Warwick.

This is due to the fact than when it was free, all the fackers from the office blocks on the other side of the road parked there, and hotel clients had nowhere to park.

If hotel clients used the office block car park, they got clamped.

hotel should offer pay n display passes online to residents only, then guests can print their parking passes out and scan them in at a barrier.

I blame the immigrantees.. if there weren't so many of 'em parking their damned cars every which-where there'd be no problem.

Good on you GOM. Good to here a story like that, bet these parasites are raging at you.
But as long as enough people pay they'll be happy overall.
