Re: Devils Advocate Time.. Why bother paying to park on a private car park
Private car park or not, I think if there's a fee to park you should pay it, the owner is after all providing a service, and deserves to be remunerated for it.
However, when we make mistakes and get these extortionate "penalties", as a lot of us do, damn right we should fight for our rights not to be bullied and ripped off.
Lets face it, if the penalties were fairer, and in the region of say £2 to £5, and the letters were more civilised than threatening, would we get as angry and obstinate about not paying them then??

Why bother paying in the first place?
Why not just park up, check its a private company, go off and do your shopping.
Come back to an Invoice on your screen, toss it in the bin and drive home
When and If they write to the keeper, send them the standard response letter.
Any thoughts?
I am not condoning this as a practice just want to know peoples thought s on the matter
Sorry, but i'm absolutely in favour of PKea's 'question' on this. Don't care if it makes me unpopular either. Now, if the 'penalty fee' for making a mistake bore anything of a resemblance of the true loss and a fair admin' fee i'ld be of a different mind but until that happens..... They want to rip me off i'll happily do it back at them.
Couldn't agree more with djweeble either, that's what i'm getting at.
Regards, Dave.
