I would greatly appreciate some advice on a private parking charge I received in the post today from Euro Car Parks whilst using an Esso service station @Esso_GB . I parked in a car park to the rear of Esso Meads Purfleet, and put a timer of 40 mins on my phone (the parking limit was 45mins). I met with a friend in the station and we collectively bought fuel, costa coffee, food to eat and sat in the seated dinning area. When my phone alarm went off to leave, we had not finished eating. A member of staff advised me to just move my car to the front of the forecourt and park there instead of the rear car park. I did this and continued to finish my food and bought more coffee. I now have a £100 parking ticket reduced to £60 if I pay straight away. I am really angry with Essso, as I was in the process of leaving until their staff told to re-park at the front of the building. Also i am annoyed that i was buying food, drinks and fuel and sitting at the tables for customers to eat at, so after spending my money with them, they are charging me. My friend who parked at the front of the building for the enter duration of our stay, did not get a ticket. -
Hi polar1882 https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?489035-Euro-car-parks-ANPR-PCN-MRH-Esso-meads-Purfleet I have just received a similar notice through the post for the same date only a few hours earlier. I was actually on holiday and pulled in with my family to grab a snack. I received the PCN from my hire car company who have acknowledged that they have passed my details onto Euro Car Parks. As i am from Northern Ireland, i cannot go back and check the sign and was unaware of the "pay by phone transaction" as this is unavailable in Northern Ireland. I was also completely oblivious to having to pay for parking at a filling station. Sorry for jumping onto your thread but i would be very interested in any help that you are receiving from fellow subscribers. -
Hi My friend who lives over road went to local esso and got a pcn in the post for parking at the garage for 3Hrs 27 mins 37 secs to buy a newspaper!!! I have proof on my cctv (reg not readable) of him leaving at 06:37am and returning at 06:54am Is it best to just ignore it or send them a letter telling them where to go or see them in court as I would be willing to witness that fact that I know it was him that came home and parked opposite. I could save 2 weeks of footage of his 2 cars parked at home and photo evidence of me walking over and taking a picture on my cctv? Many thanks, Andy
