I have received a parking fine from Paid Parking Company for Asda supermarket car parking which went just over the allowed time. I’ve read lots of things that say I shouldn’t pay as it’s a private fine company. Any advice?
As long as there are clearly displayed signs advising you of the parking fees (and those fees aren't wholly disproportionate), whenever you park you car in such a car park you are entering into a legally binding contract to pay those fees.
If you were shopping in ASDA for the entire period, you could try appealing to the manager.
If you parked, shopped in ASDA and went elsewhere it may be more problematic.
where we live we have 2 asdas both free parking ...if you have paid to park say for an hour and went over that time i dont think you have a complaint you should have got back on time...sorry
A few years ago I received a parking ticket from a city centre Lidl. It was free parking, but you apparently had to give your registration number to the checkout operator. I didn't read the notice closely enough and was snapped leaving the car park after a 10 minute stay. Ignored the notice and have never heard another word about it.
