daniel Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Anyone else get a ticket tonight? Mines gone straight in the bin. I must have parked there a 100 times, wonder why they have started doing that? Private car park anyway, they'll send a few letters, send a few more official looking letters threatening court action etc, then when you still haven't paid they'll get the message.

Been taking the risk for years now and I've finally been caught. Doesn't mean I'll be paying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueatheart Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Whatever you do, don't make any contact, regardless of what they threaten. Took 12 months for the letters to finish to us but never paid a penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I'm sure the car park was part council owned, as it was originally planned as a park and ride. Not sure if that's still the case. Also it's worth knowing that some parking companies do take court action thesedays, so be careful. B+Q boycott for anyone who uses them?

LeeAnt Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I got one for leaving the site (B&Q) when we played Northampton. I tried to do an online payment but i kept saying no records. I then called them up and they said it's all manual and they probably haven't got the tickets back yet. they said if it wasn't on their system by the 30th (two weeks) it would be void. It's still saying no records so i'm not paying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjk2008 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I was always under the impression they let you park there anyway as long as its not in the first few rows of spaces closest to the entrance as that's for trade customers? The must dish out tickets for fun on there because its regular jam-packed with Latics fans trying to leave after the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was right in the corner, barely a car to be seen so not obstructing anybody and it is a free car park so I've not done them out of a penny. Won't be paying it don't worry.

Wondering whether to boycott them now! ? I'll take great delight in throwing any letters from Total Parking Solutions and their "solicitors" in the log burner!

If you are taking a parking spot they are potentially losing out on a customer who couldn't find parking ? Did you not read my post? Barely a car on the car park. Probably nearly 1,000 spaces to choose from on it and I couldn't have been further away from the entrance to the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wogghead1 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Go in before the game, buy a 5p screw. Keep the receipt and if you get a ticket you can show them the receipt and prove you were a customer of theirs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they won't be able to demonstrate loss of income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the receipt and if you get a ticket you can show them the receipt and prove you were a customer of theirs! Unfortunately that doesn't work. even if you have bought something. My ticket was for leaving the site "The driver was observed leaving site whilst the vehicle remained parked on the premises". True they would have had to follow you around B&Q to know that for certain. When I got my ticket the times noted were around the store closing times so they could just ticket all cars once the store has closed. I had been in the football ground 45 mins before the times stated on my ticket. I understand the leaving site issue is also the same for Elk Mill.
