Sainsburys Parking Ticket

[topaz]

Got one of these Civil Tickets yesterday for 'obstruction' Thing is, although 'the driver' was parked half in a yellow box 'the driver' did not obstruct anything with the car. It was only when the plank who parked next door parked that the car became an obstruction

Anyway, having read about it on the net it seems that they dont have a leg to stand on so i'm not going to pay Aparantly i'm the keeper of the vehicle but wasnt 'the driver' so they should chase 'the driver' of which i'm not obliged to disclose.

Anyone else had a civil parking penalty and not paid?

They should make spaces bigger!

Topaz,

They're not enforceable as its not a Public Highway. I had one a couple of years back having parked in Tescos. It was a busy weekend and there wasnt anywhere to park other than the end of the row.

Aye, a bloke gave my wife one in Morrisons car park ....I could rephrase that but I choose not too , anyway she just told him she wasn't gonna pay and drove off, no further action.

if you do the crime you should pay the fine if it was the other way round and somebody didnt pay you would you like it i am afraid the world is now full of selfish people these days

I'm currently going thru this myself. The wife parked my company car half over a white line at the local cinema and got a parking ticket from UKPC.
Its basically a license to print money for them when you read into it. I sent them a letter straight away explaining that it was'nt company policy to divulge personal details etc to other companies but would gladly divulge it to the local authorities or the police. Its been going on and on for about 3months now and Ive just recieved a letter from a local(ish)law firm with the intention to prosecute if I dont settle the bill in 10 days.........which is now @ £131.75.......the original fine was for £40 if paid within 2 weeks.

I read the same forums as you did and used the advice they gave, hence the above, but to be honest the debt's been obviously been passed onto "another" company and I'm not sure what to do, will have to check the forum later.

if the 'debt' is in dispute then they cannot collect

i'm up for the challenge not paying

[sutty234]

Or learn to park properly
I got one in tescos for parking over 3 hours, i went ****ing mad, i was doing a crimbo shopping trip with 3 disabled passengers (mum,Dad and me nan) and we was in a disabled spot with all 3 disabled badges showing.
I flipped at the manager and he gave me a £30 shopping token as an appology

[jimmer]

Whats a civil ticket? are the police notified? whats it a new money making scam?

[bortaf]

Round my way NCP controll the supermarket carparks although our sainsburys has a numberplate recognition camera cos the petrol station is at the entrance of the car park so they can time you shopping
