    I'd write to Lidl, include redeipts and demand a written apology, with any luck you'll turn a £90 fine into a lidl voucher, Lidl do not want to lose customers or get bad PR through ****ty car park contractors.

    Don't ignore it, they can only get your details from the DVLA if they are an accredited company, and that means you'll probably end up paying if you ignore it completely.

    read this guide.

    I have found, though personal experience, that using legal methods to fight back against unfair charges and fines (even legitimate ones) is the best way forward.

    He is right.

    They will continue to send you letters saying if you do t pay it will go to so and so solicitors

    Just ignore them all. And as someone says never respond to the letter in any way

    Seriously if you don't believe me have a Google. It's just fear mongering and people pay but reality us unkess it's a city council car park it's not enforceable

    Soft appeal to the parking company to get a POPLA code, then a more robust appeal to POPLA to get it cancelled on one of many grounds.

    try www.pepipoo.com theses are the real experts in car park charges


    DO NOT IGNORE IT

    I saw a clip of one of those awkward twats that goes out out of his way to piss these parking people and bailiffs off.

    He got in touch with the company, and read their rules to them, which effectively said, whoever parked the car is responsible.

    He argued he knew who had parked the car, and would happily give them the name, as long as they paid for the information, in the same way they paid to get his details from the DVLA.

    They never got back in touch. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    100% that's an invoice. A fine is a penalty charge. Don't pay it and don't contact them as that's seen as a sign of acknowledgement.

    Extremely lucrative for the DVLA. About a million enquiries a year at about £5, what's not to like!

    I’m surprised no one has challenged this practice under GDPR yet. As they’re releasing personal information for a fee, to a non Govt agency.

    Bollocks. They've only sent him an invoice. They've got no legal right to fine him. Why contact them?

    You seem to know best, on your head be it.

    But for everyone else

    Private companies can issue parking tickets and may call them Parking Charge Notices, but they are not the same as the Penalty Charge Notice.

    They are not backed up by law. Instead, they are invoices for a breach of contract.

    If the car park operator wants to force you to pay, they will need to take you to the civil court, which is costly and time-consuming.

    If the car park operator takes you to court and wins, you then have pay the costs in addition to the original charge. If you lose and still refuse to pay, you could find the judgment going on to your credit file and damaging your chances of borrowing or taking out contracts, such as for mobile phones.

    As I have said dont ignore it, you have the website to get all the info you need, its works.

    Do as it says and you will win and even cost them money.

    If you want to enforce an unpaid invoice then you have to take the debtor to court, it’s sort of the errrmm law.

    So they’ll write and write, they may even try a legal looking letter with a solicitors name on it threatening legal action, but unless they go actually via the small claims courts - in which case you get notified by the court of the date of the hearing - then they have no power to enforce payment.

    You added a cut and paste after realising you’d got it wrong again and after I’d already quoted your post.
