Hi consumer group I too have got one of those parking fines which I am disputing with civil enforcement. They have a notice with 3 hrs free parking except on football match days when it is reduced to 90 mins. This car park is in a retail park. I shopped in Comet with my friend where she spent £500 on a computer and I was 94 mins in the car park. I sent a copy of the receipt to civil enforcement, explained that (a) I was a genuine shopper, (b) how was I supposed to know it was a match day, and © car park very busy could have taken me 4 mins to get out of the car park. To cut a long story short, no luck with civil enforcement, they threatened court action (I would have gone to Court, there is a principle at stake here), they refused to enter into any further correspondence with me but didnt answer my queries, and have now referred me to a debt collection agency. The fine has gone from £120 - £60 if paid in 7 days to £208.13 with the debt collection agency. Any help/advice please would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great weekend xx
