    Hi All,

    Just an update on the above, have received a letter from the parking company, who have advised that the charge has been quashed, and no further action will be taken in the matter, also offered their apologies for any inconvenience caused.

    A big thank you to all who offered their comments, particularly Storck, post number 10 dated 25 November, I sent my letter based on his suggestion on the link, and the reply from the parking company was identical to the one I got.

    Thanks again,

    Thanks Rogered Tart,

    Forster Square Retail Park is somewhere I don't go to very often, I admit I should have been more aware of the signs, won't happen again, will be going to Broadway in future, wonder what the retailers on the Park think about it, three hours doesn't seem an awful lot of time, especially at this time of year.

    More and more of the private clinics the NHS employ for treatment use them as well, A friend went to one in Leeds and a week later got a letter with the same, £100 or £60 if paid quickly, They are all scammers

    The interpretation of the law has changed in the parking companies favour so am afraid you will have to pay up or have a CCJ on your record which will have serious consequences, Good luck

    Frustrating but for each example you've provided you admit that you're in the wrong in some way.

    yes the supreme court ruled that it was legal for private parking companies to charge, It was said the companies would never go to court fearing losing and as such you could just ignore and would go away, However rather than ignore it a motorist took it to court himself and lost,

    "A motorist who mounted legal proceedings against a private parking firm after he was slapped with an £85 ticket for overstaying at one of its car parks has today lost his case at the highest court in the UK. But while the ruling makes it harder to challenge tickets on the grounds of 'excessive' cost, don't despair – it's still possible to fight unfair tickets.

    It's been two-and-a-half years since Barry Beavis first received an £85 ticket from ParkingEye Ltd after he overstayed by 56 minutes at one of its 'two-hours for free' car parks in Chelmsford.

    Since then, the Essex father-of-two has taken his case to the County Court and the Court of Appeal to argue the charge wasn't proportionate to the loss incurred by the firm, especially as the car park offered limited free parking.

    After losing both times, the chip shop owner in July took his case to the Supreme Court – the highest court in the UK – which today decided against him, ruling the £85 charge was not "excessive" or "unfair". ( MSE NEWS )

    Very disappointing news. You've essentially used a loophole in the law to get away with stealing.

    alternatively the landowners should tighten their processes so they are fully compliant with the law.
