Absolutely shocking behaviour. I will warn all my friends and family about this. Thanks again!

Thanks for the welcome I've just been reading this thread, I'm sure some of you have encountered it: forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=269814& The bluelagoon guy is hilarious. I can't believe private clamping hasn't been deemed illegal as it has been in Scotland. Its such a sick and clearly extortionate means of making money. I just want to thank you guys again. If it weren't for you guys, I would have been duped into paying this unfair 'fine'.

Ah okay thank you for your help DBC. I'm very grateful

Thank you so much for your help DBC! It is greatly appreciated! Having read the link you've provided and the scans of the letters sent by Euro Car Parks, am I to assume that it is safe to ignore those letters as opposed to replying to them? Is it advisable to reply to Euro Car Parks in relation to the above invoice and state my position, i.e. my refusal to pay on the grounds that the signs weren't reasonably visible etc?

Sorry, it was actually Morrisons not Waitrose, my apologies. The parking company is called Euro carparks. Apparently customers have had difficulty finding parking etc which is the preamble to the "invoice" and incidentally, when I parked there, save for about 6 cars, the carpark was empty.

Thank you DBC for your prompt reply. I shall ascertain the name of the parking company for you (on the phone to my relatives as I type)

Hi all, I came across this site via an online search and thought you might be able to help me. I've just received today a letter from Waitrose in Brentford prompting me to pay a fine of £70 for parkign there last week. Apparently I had over-stayed at their carpark by an hour. Now when parking there I was under the impression that the carpark was free as there were no obvious signs notifying me of the 2 hour parking limit. I hardly feel that paying this fine is fair at all and only just realised I over-stayed because of the letter (I haven't had a chance to read the letter because I'm at work and my family notified me of the fine via phone call). I apologise if this issue has been discussed on the forums; I'm at work so I haven't had an opportunity to search through many topics. I will sincerely be grateful for any help you can provide me on this matter. Cheers
