Hi guys, looking for advice
Driver went shopping at Lidl's under the impression there was a 2 hour limit as another driver asked about it a couple weeks prior, had to crane their neck upwards and squint at the tiny sign to confirm. Driver is a slow shopper but also popped round to another shop across the road
Received a Parking Charge Notice for a 30 min overstay from ParkingEye, So spoke to store manger and presented the receipt but was told they don't own the land and too many recalls have been made so ParkingEye no longer accept requests from them, so appeal to them directly. Of course, they denied the appeal stating they don't have evidence that a charge isn't owed.
POPLA also denied even though I pointed out no keeper liability etc. (they failed to identify the driver or INVITE THE KEEPER)
I have since misplaced the receipt in the intervening months and forgot about it until I received a final demand for payment in the post
Sent a message to the CEO a couple days ago and got a response from the customer care team asking for a contact number to discuss, should I accept the call and identify the driver? Any details I should bring up or avoid, or should I just play the legal chicken game with ParkingEye, possibly taking it to court?
Sorry, not sure how to add attachments
