First post, be gentle,. Today i received a colour 'charge certificate' from Athena ANPR, requesting i pay for a parking contravention at Lidl Ashford. The notice clearly shows my car entering and leaving the car park with the reg plate enlarged to show my number next to the times on arriving and leaving. I accept that these may indeed be accurate and under the rules displayed at the car park i may well have exceeded their said times, all in all it would appear a 'fair cop', but is it ? All i want to know is how legal is all of this, should i hold my hands up and pay the 'reduced parking charge' of £45 or ignore and hope they go away ? Seems a lot of money for 20 mins over time, but i guess rules is rules and there was a notice in the car park, would be grateful of any advice. Many thanks.
