Your technophobe friend Ibrahim might not be best pleased with you uploading a PCN containing his full name and home address on a public forum. I have removed those attachments and advise you to re-upload them with his details obscured.

With Lidl, a wise first step is to try contacting the management and seeing if they will intervene.
Title: 1 of 3 private tickets

Hi all,

My technophobe friend Ibrahim asked me to help out with this, plus 2 other private tickets and one Wandsworth Council parking ticket.

This one is Lidl car park. He and his family were doing a week's shop, his son had to use the toilet several times (they don't of course have a public toilet, but will allow use of the staff toilet if asked with suitable urgency). Then having paid they tried to scan the till receipt for the parking but all the scanners but one were out of order and the single working one has a sizeable queue. By the time they got out, the time limit had been exceeded by a few minutes.

Ibrahim had been advised to ignore the Parking Charge Notice but I suggested putting it on here.

From what I understand, the options are pay, ignore, or write an email or snail mail to the company CEO.

Many thanks for any guidance
