Parking at Anchor Retail Park

Stomper409 · **Posted:** Fri Apr 27, 2018 10:36 am

Has anyone else come across this:

My wife recently parked at Anchor Retail Park to visit M&S and T K Maxx. After visiting those stores, she went to ASDA. She has now received a Notice asking her for £100 (£60 if paid in 14 days) because she was "Observed leaving the site" i.e. going to ASDA. I have been down to the site and there are indeed notices saying that you should not park and leave the site but this seems very extreme to me in view of the fact that the initial purpose of of parking was to visit stores on Anchor Park.

Has anyone else suffered the same fate? Did you/they pay the fine? I feel inclined to tell them to whistle rakxe

Check on Martin Lewis site to see if they can actually charge you.....there is a lot of misinformation out there on these "fines".

I had no idea it was called Anchor Retail Park.

Is it a private parking firm? I had one over a year ago from a private firm, ignored it and haven't heard anything since.

or contact citizens advice.

The correspondence is from someone called UKCPS Car Parking Solutions based in Leeds.

Just appeal it. Did your wife buy anything from either store? If she did, attach it to the appeal.

The worst that can happen is they reject the appeal. It then goes to Popla, or a slightly dodgier appeal firm.

Also, demand evidence that your wife left the site. They wont have any. Then make even more demands. Demand photo evidence, anything that extends the process. Make the bastards work for a living and hope they die of cancer soon.

Be as obstinant as possible, and tell them you are charging them for your time wasted.

Go back down at around the same time on the same day that your wife got the ticket, i.e. 2pm saturday, and look for the car in which the twat is sitting watching. He will be easy to spot. Then go and photograph his car from a few angles, and hassle the fucker. Dont abuse him, but just generally hassle the shit out of him.

This is what I did to the twats that did my son at the cinema car park, for daring to nip across to asda for cheaper drinks. I got the charge rescinded, and put his car photo and reg all over the net.

To be honest I also called him a fat cu nt, and told him his kids must fucking hate hm for doing this job. He reported me, but had no evidence, so I accused him of lying in my appeal.

I won. But the hassle is a pain in the arse.

That car park needs outing though, Tell everyone you can. People may stop going there and using those shops. Its the only thing that will work.

Just ignore it unless it is a council fine.

Did you sign a contract, push a button, or otherwise agree to their terms? Do they have anything to prove you even saw their terms?

I know someone who did that, 6 months later they got a court summons for £300.

Worth looking into this.

Parking is becoming a nightmare down there especially on a Saturday now all the retail units have shops in them that people actually go to. Used to be able to park up there and go to the match no problem but not an option now.

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Fri Apr 27, 2018 4:12 pm

Just park over the road where the gym is, no restrictions or gates closing early etc..

Dibble, Is it really necessary wishing cancer on a bloke who is possibly on minimum wage, hates the job and is just doing his job?

Also, he now has the evidence, so hopefully you'll get your day in the limelight, which you dearly crave

Alternatively ignore it. It's an invoice not a fine.

the irony being if she had parked in ASDA's car park and went there first then walked to the other places she'd have been ok.
I always look out for those silly little cameras and signs on sign posts now whenever going to these god awful places. it's just the way things are now. They even have a parking eye at the poxy little walk in unit over the hospital now.
