Private parking "fine": pay or ignore ?

[nickfrog]

Supermarket car park in London - I assumed it was 2 hours but it was 1 hour so I was there for 1h30 ; the sign was quite clear if you got close enough on foot.

A company called Horizon Parking. £70 or £30 within 14 days of notice issue date (23/02) but only got the letter today so that gives me a day to decide.

Can they enforce this? Do those companies enforce the "fines" ?

Thx.

I believe they are enforceable

General advice is not to ignore them; Pepipoo and MSE websites have plenty info on how to appeal them though.

I suppose it’s how much you value £30 in relative tonthw effort of challenging it. 1-2 hours wages, probably more time will be spent on the PCN campaign.

Cheers all, yes makes sense. Paid the £30.
