Do you have that in writing?

Wesley, a young manager at the store who is clearly destined for greatness cancelled the PCN on the spot with no quibbling or snivelling. He said the cancellation letter from PE would take a couple of weeks but I was NOT to pay anything in the meantime.
How refreshing.

Search the forum for ALDI,
find https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/pcn-parkingeye-aldi-tanbridge-retail-park-horsham/msg76708/#msg76708 which says
You can try emailing the Aldi CEO, Giles Hurley, at gmd@cs.aldi.co.uk with a complaint about why has a customer been invoiced by their third party enforcer to the tune of £70? If you have a receipt for purchases on the day, include that as evidence and ask that they get their agent to cancel the unfair PCN.
Always the best course of action and, as the linked thread shows, can be successful.

Parking Eye, working for Aldi in Wokingham (Wellington Rd, Wokingham RG40 2EX) have sent the registered keeper a £70 PCN for, AFAICT, not entering the vehicles reg # in their after checkout terminal. The car was in & out of the carpark in 15 minutes. PE have provided clear photos of the car arriving & departing 15 minutes later, which makes me wonder why they needed me to checkout on their terminal in the first place!
I've read the READ THIS FIRST page & know I'll probably have to take photos of the signage, redact & post the PCN, appeal to PE, appeal to POPLA, write to my MP, get the PM involved & all the rest of it (this isn't my first PCN rodeo) but before starting down that road I wondered what the panel think my chances are of encountering a store manager with a little bit of common sense & having this charge cancelled?
