Edit, beware if you park in a disabled space and you are not disabled they have
every right to fine you, along with every other rule concerning their car parks
You are correct, my post is badly wordedI think you are incorrect. No private organisation can impose a fine as far as I am aware
They can issue you an invoice with a demand to pay but it is only enforcable through the courts, but it is not a fine and there is no legal obligation to pay it until the courts tell you so.
I happily stand to be corrected but as I understand it, they issue a speculative invoice which the law does not specify you must pay.
You are correct, my post is badly worded
Yes, Mr ANPR is always on hand to talk to those (ab)using the car park.Because the Equality Act says so, the T7Cs must be fair and within the law,
what they should have done, was wait and see the driver of the car,
ask him "have you got a Blue Badge" in the OPs case he would have replied
"shit, I forgot to put it out" and all is well with the world again.
What the ticket man did was to make an assumption, which was wrong,
Have you seen one of the old parking meters, when the paid time
ran out, a small amount of time was allowed before the needle
went onto time expired, the ticket couldn't be disputed then
HTH
Edit, Just because a company writes something on a notice it doesn't mean it's right
The store doesn't generally control the parking - a pointless exercise.A better option is to go to the store, ask to speak to the Manager (you may get the duty manager). Go armed with your parking notice and blue badge. Explain the situation and apologise. The likelihood is the store can quash the 'fine'.

Google PePiPoo.I think this has been discussed before, but advice is needed. I parked in a Tesco supermarket in a disabled bay. I did not display my disabled badge, and got a penalty notice. I received a "fine" for £70 reduced to £30 within 14 days. What really happens if I refuse to pay, or ignore, or what do I need to do to appeal. It is a firm on the BPA.
my mum uses a fake oneI wonder then if it is not entirely legal to use a fake blue badge in a private car park? Could be a useful trick for those so inclined.
As i've said before it worked for me when i wrote to Aldi, luck had it i had 2/3 till reciepts in wallet which proved i was a loyal customer, if only for beer and welding rodsThe store doesn't generally control the parking - a pointless exercise.
I have to say I'm 50/50 with them. There's a few on there that like to post for the sake of posting without actually helping. I was a fan initially but I didn't get a fat lot of help with my problem and posts such as "look for yourself, all the information is here" or "do your own research" I found unhelpful. I was also informed that it would be unlikely that I would be successfull in my counter claim for my time and effort.Google PePiPoo.
They are very good.
I should resist replying to this.For the OP.
Try these people. How to appeal. Link
I parked, with permission, in a small car park. I gave my registration to the girl on reception, as required. I'm guessing she didn't record it properly, however, I'd written it in the visitors' book, although this was not required. About four months later I received an invoice for £180 late payment of charges.
I found these people POPLA who reviewed the case and dismissed the claim. Free service and, apparently, most private parking companies abide by their decisions.
On another occasion I received a charge notice from Aldi even though I had been in the store (returning a faulty item). I mentioned POPLA in my email and the problem went away.
How do I know all this tedious crap you might ask?I should resist replying to this...
... All clear so far?
Not obscure at all. It’s the person that is disabled not the car. I visit my elderly mother every few weeks. We go shopping or out for lunch and as she has the mobility issues you’d expect of a 91 year old (and the alcohol capacity of an 18 year old!) I display her blue badge. I am not disabled unless you count baldness and have no requirement for any visible distinction at any other time.For some obscure reason, we don't have an identifier on registration plates for disabled vehicles.
