A/covert security @ asda washington ,doing there rounds

[astrachick34]

unfortunetly last night i got a ticket for parking in a disabled bay at asda washington, while the car park for disabled holds probably around 30 spaces there were only 5 cars parked in the entire car park, i was only nipping in so the little dude in uniform must have been hiding round the corner. I find it hard to believe that they can issue a fine of £100.00 but can half it if i pay within 14 days. not only did he get the colour of my car wrong but he also got the model wrong. H ave i got a leg to stand on or do i have to give in and pay these creeps. Has anyone else had the same experience with these thieving sods . I would never dream about parking in a disabled space but considering there were plenty left and the other car park is quite a hike i think its really unfair

This is not a "fine", and blue badge spaces in private car-parks have no legal basis. So do not contact the parking company and ignore any correspondence from them. You have not broken any laws. Many people on here have ignored private parking companies and nothing bad has happened to them. These [problematic] rely on scaring people with official looking letters but if you stand firm they will eventually lose interest in you.

Is it also right that, if i say i wasnt the driver then they cant do a thing about it:???:

[lamma]

say to who. just ignore them. even though its a just PPC claptrap never lie about what happened.

• do not pay

• do not contact them

• ignore any junkmail

• they will give up and go away after 4 or 5 letters

 

You just have an unenforceable [problem] invoice, not a fine or parking ticket.

 

But remember to be polite and do not abuse disabled parking spaces, even though they have no legal meaning on private land.

I presume it was late in the evening when the number of bays in that top car park outweighs the number of people actually shopping in Asda?

 

Since they made that entire parking bay "disabled" it is farsical that they expect everyone to park miles away in the main car park and walk past that "empty" car park to do late night shopping. I don't!

 

Ignore them completely

Do not write to them

Do not telephone them

Do not reply to their mail

Do not pay them
