It's not listed on there. I looked at a few similar sites and local business directories but couldn't find anything for a car park on Bolton Street. In fact the only trace I could find was of the images on google maps/street view.

Just to update - I went straight to the booth to find a different attendant, I asked him what happened to the lad last night locking down early and leaving me stranded, he replied "I don't know I wasn't here, have you got a ticket?" I gave him the ticket and began explaining the amount of hassle/grief it had caused but he wasn't interested and then without apology, as though it was a familiar situation simply said I can go without paying. I had a lot of questions for him but never got round to asking any, I was just relieved to be getting my car back and getting out of there as soon as. I did a lot of searching last night but was unable to find anything on the car park, I know from memory that it's been there for at least 4 years but it suspiciously doesn't seem to have any foot print at all. If anyone would like to have a look it's situated on Bolton Street, Liverpool - just yards from the national train station Lime Street. I'm happy to have my car back but I'd still like to register a complaint to help prevent this from happening to someone perhaps more vulnerable than myself, as Bombaymix mentioned. Thanks for all the replies.

You may be right but the way I see it, the contract I agreed to when parking there was breached when they didn't offer the service I agreed to. I maybe way off the mark but as furious as I am they're not getting a penny, they've cost me enough through travel costs and missing an hours work tomorrow. My only concern is if they have a right to refuse to let me out and then what my options would be then. I guess it's pretty late on here for a reply from a legal guru, I'll give 101 a call in the morning.

It's not automated like the Q Park etc, it's just a manned booth next to the exit who you pay and he lets you out, except tomorrow he's not getting a penny but things will intensify if he refuses to open the barrier and I just want to know where I stand legally.

Sorry I said it was pay and display but they actually give you a ticket as you go in and you pay at the window and they open the barrier as you drive out. There's signs for costs and the one I mentioned but there's no logo or name on any of them, even the ticket is unbranded. Also I know for certain it's not one of the council's. Cheers Tommy

Hi Earlier this evening at 5:55 pm I returned to a private Pay & Display car park to retrieve my vehicle only to find the whole car park secured, locked up with no one in sight. The usual closing time is 7pm however there was signs stating that on Sundays, the car park closes at 6pm, as such every effort was made by my self to make it back on time. Another notable sign warns of possible lock ins, word for word it reads: I was unable to find an office number or even a company name to try and contact them I went into a shop facing and asked the lady if she knew the owners. Unfortunately she didn't, but she did say she'd back me up that I was there at 5 to 6. At that point I pretty much admitted defeat and began the long train journey home. Tomorrow morning I have to get there early to retrieve my vehicle and try not be too late for work. They're going to expect me to pay for the parking plus a £10 overnight charge, I have no intention of paying either of them. My questions are, where do I stand in this stance? Particularly if they refuse to open the barrier, am I legally obliged to pay anything and are they legally allowed to prevent me from exiting? I'd also like to make a complaint, would it be worthwhile contacting the council or is there a particular organisation I could contact? Feeling really distraught so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Tommy
