On May 17 evening, i went out to Southhall with my wife and Kid to have dinner. I parked near to the restaurant mistakently at 9:45 PM, which was a private parking. Before parking, i looked at the road signs and around the area. It is pitch dark, and i could not see any private parking signs / yellow lines, display boards in the night. After we came back from dinner at 11 PM, our vehicle was not there. We then found a A3 board stating that this is private parking and we will be charged 150 for vehicle clamping, 150 for towing, 35 for overnight stay and VAT, hence total of 390 pounds. I called up the no. given on the board and he told us that they can pick vehicles anytime but they will give it back only in the morning. I went back to my city basildon in a Taxi (Paid 70 Pounds) and came back in the morning to claim my vehicle. My vehicle was released after i paid 390 pounds. I want the members to guide me that is this extortion or is this acceptable fine. The Park Direct company has said that i can appeal to their department within 10 days and given an address. However, i would like to have an opinion of all the people here. Regards
Private Parking Maximum Fine
