Thread: info on shopping car parks

HI there

Away back in March I parked my car at the shopping centre free car park at woolworths. When I came back 2 and half hours later I had a ticket from a company called BPM Group Services it said on ticket I was to pay £85. I was told ignore it by a memeber of my family that was with me so i did. A few months later I had forgotten about it and received a letter from a credit agency in Londonsaying that BPM had asked to get in contact with me and they now want £95.00. I am raging so sent a letter stating what I had read on here about

Under the 1991 Act, they must also clearly identified as a Parking Attendant. ie. If they are not wearing a hat, or epaulettes then they cannot issue a ticket.
I said that in the car park its just young boys hanging around on corner wearing bright yellow jackets giving out tickets where they liked also aske if they could prove I was in the car park. They have asked me to send away a copy of my tax disc which I refused to do.

My question is can they legally persue me for the £95.00

Cheers Debs

Its a private parking company and ive never ever heard that they have taken somebody to court and won.
Forget about it.
If your really concerned, send them a letter saying you dont think there charge is proportionate to your breach of contract etc. and that they should sue you if they want the money.
