My brother was trapped at a service area on Saturday as the motorway had been closed as the result of an accident, now he was actually queuing on the internal road, but would anyone be trapped and parked be issued with the dreaded invoice for over staying. Are Parking Eye that nasty? I can guess the answer really.

If the Services owners have a Twitter feed, get him to hit that stating that the motorway was closed etc. Accuse them of trying to profit from said accident.

This is all in your imagination, isn't it? There is no ticket, is there?

Keep all correspondence from them, but do not reply to any letter. Do not call them. Some on here will say otherwise, but I've ignored two tickets where I had been parked perfectly legally, but in their eyes I wasn't. Nothing ever happened despite threatening court papers (unstamped of course!)

When this happened to me, Moto Tamworth and CP Plus (iirc) there had been a twitter announcement on Moto's feed before we had managed to leave the car park with the incident still ongoing.
