Advice please....Morrisons/Europark

[Emma Royd]

Hi looking for some advice on behalf of my sister and nephew please.

 

Last week my nephew was staying down at High Wycombe whilst doing a short course at the uni. Last Saturday he went to Morrisons there. Now today my sister, being the registered keeper of my nephews car has received a letter from Europark saying she has to pay a £70 fine as he was 33 mins over the allotted 2 hours and they have 2 photos of his registration.

 

Is it best to ignore Europarks demand or write back to them? I'm more used to fending off DCAs

 

thanks in advance

It's the usual advice, just ignore and don't contact them. This case is no different to all the other private parking "tickets" on here.

 

And, by the way, it's not a "fine", it's an unenforceable invoice.

thanks for the quick reply DBC.

 

I've been trying to persuade them to ignore but I think they just wanted some reassurance.

your sister wasn't even in the car that day, so how can she have entered into a "contract" with Europark?

 

Tell her to ignore to her hearts content.

And as above, no matter how tempted sshe may be, IGNORE all threatograms.

thanks for the replies.

 

I get the message , trouble is, it's convincing my sister. In the last year her 2 lads have picked up 7 parking 'fines' between them while at uni. One was for parking slightly over the white line. Up till now she's just paid them but I think she's had enough now. Hopefully she'll listen now. I may even get her to become a member of CAG .

 

thanks again
