Hopefully this is a "do not pay", but wondering the best course of action...

Private car park serving a few shops.

Free car park but maximum stay 2 hours.

Parking Charge received through post (ANPR) for over staying.

Perp was in one of the shops the whole time, spending a few hundred pounds and doing various dress fittings (wedding dress shop).

No idea on signage and can't really go and check without a 2 hour round trip.


What's the best way to approach it? Letter to shop asking them to get the parking company to cancel?

Letter sent to parking company with copy of receipt.

Parking charge cancelled.

Maybe they're not all that bad!

Can't she read a sign and a clock or was bridezilla fixated on the dress?
It was a gaggle of bridesmaids so 5 people trying on various things I guess.

Easy to exceed the 2 hours.


2 hour limit is obviously there to stop people using it for free all day parking etc and they're happy to waive it for genuine customers.
