Free Traffic Legal Advice

I've just had a similar incident at an Aldi store. It was suggested that I email their CEO and them to cancel the invoice. I did that on Monday evening and got a response by 11am on Tuesday saying the invoice had been cancelled.

I suggest you try that with Lidl CEO ryan.mcdonnell@lidl.co.uk

A PCN has been received from Parkingeye dated 20/5/25 regarding an 'Event' on 15/5/25 . It has a picture of a moving vehicle entering the car park arriving at 08:07:26 and the same moving vehicle leaving at 08:42:16 stating "time in car park 34 minutes".

The Driver parked initially in Waitrose car park, where the signage states "Up to 30 minutes free parking" the driver conducted their business promptly and moved the vehicle to the car park adjacent to Aldi. Again checking that the parking was free for upto 1.5 hrs. Again, conducting their business promptly.

The reverse of the PCN reads that the charge is "by either remaining at the cark park for longer than permitted, or by not entering your registration details via the terminal, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the signsge, the Parking Charge is now payable to Parkingeye Ltd (as Creditor).

The charge is set at £70 within 28 days, but discounted to £40 if paid within 14 days.

The vehicle clearly wasn't parked for 34 minutes as the driver had to drive in, park in car park, then move the car to car park 2 then move it again to leave the car park.

What should i do?
