In November 05 I parked in large store car park for a few minuites only. I was returning a very large and heavy item to the store it was purchased from,and  I parked in a disabled bay, which was the closest to the shop I needed to return the item to. There was no ticket or notice attached to the windscreen of my car for me to see on my return. Now 4 months later, I have received a £70 fine from Euro Car Parks Ltd. One week later I have received a letter from a debt collecting agency threatening legal action.\n\nAre their actions legal, and can I be legally fined for parking in a disabled bay in a private car park.\n\nMany thanks for any information.

yes, they are required by law to provide these spaces for handicapped people and in return the law enforces it for them. pay now before it goes up!!

Seek advice from the person (solicitor?) who assisted you in the compensation claim.\n\nAlthough you may be able to obtain judgment against them for non-payment of the compensation actually getting the money out of them might be a different story.\n\nI don't think that the previous comment about the Chief Executive going to prison is correct - this is not a criminal but a civil case.

This is an interesting one. If you have booked a reception venue, then usually they will try and keep your deposit - could be £1000 or more.\n\nBUT I saw in Which? magazine last month the story of a father who managed to get the deposit back because he argued that it amounted to a penalty clause (unlawful under English law). It was a penalty clause because the likelihood was that the venue would be able to get another booking, so the value of the deposit was far more than the loss suffered by the venue.\n\nBecause it settled out of court it didn't set any precedent, but it's probably worth a try.

For legal guidance, consult an attorney.  Three percent of all public parking lots must be reserved for handicapped spaces.  It's just good business--and socially the right thing to do.  Regardless of that, I know how upsetting it is when you make an unfortunate mistake and park your car in a space that is marked.  It's similiar when you run a red light because you didn't notice, or go into an HOV lane because you were distracted or on a cell phone.  Good luck to you!

I claimed through Ebay for an item I bought (was sent a broken item and buyer refused to accept it back long story that got quite nasty!) Use The Dispute Console for all correspondence so that they can see what is being said. it  took 8 months but I got back all but £50 of my money.\n\nGood Luck!

From your description, no.  However, if you broke the contract the landlord will be looking for ways to screw you, and he could find in a way to suggest that your car was parked illegally on his property.  In that case, he would have to call the police and/or a tow truck, not just hide it in some undisclosed location.  What has happened here sounds like "Grand Theft Auto" or whatever you Americans call it, and you need to contact the police immediately to report your vehicle stolen.

Nothing. The people at the towing company stole everything. I had my car towed recently and they stole my CD player. When I confronted them they said that some one jumped the fence and stole it. Call the cops to make a report then call the Better Business Bureau. Unfortunately your stuff is gone.

Alright, you will need to go to the bank and talk to someone and let them know what happened and then ask them if they would please deny the charge to the lounge. Go to the lounge speak to a manager and tell them what happened because they assumed something.And tell them that they are legally responsible for all the charges from the bank and from anyone who recieved and NSF. Pay them cash for the drink that you bought . If you have a decent bank they should work with you on this. I had a very similar thing happen to me as well. It is a pain in the behind but if you want it fixed you have to do it.

Parking tickets won't reflect on your driving record... unless you don't pay them and your license is suspended.  So as long as you keep paying you can keep blocking those fire hydrants!

Did they take your licence for not having insurance and perhaps not paying for the damage.\n\nIf your licence was suspended for not paying damage, you can't get it untill the court says you can, normally untill you pay for the damage or have a payment plan in place.\n\nIf you were suspended for not having insurnace, again, until the court oks you ( normally it would be a certain time the judge would have said at trial)\n\nSo there is really not enough information given for a good answer.

They probably don't want to go through the cost of taking your car back, so continue to insist on working out a payment plan with them.  Ask for the supervisor, and whatever you are able to agree on, get it in writing.  If you can't get anywhere with them, however, I would consider getting an attorney or nonprofit debt counselor involved who can negotiate for you.  Daily phone calls are harrassing and can be illegal.

Who gave the advice? I would seek legal advice, a solicitor can sort it for you or get some free advice from a bureau or advice surgery to see if it is possible for you do it yourself with the cost of a solicitor

Your best bet is to "plea it down".  If you contact the solicitor's office that is prosecuting the ticket, you may be able to exchange a guilty plea for a reduced fine.\n\nReally this should be done by a lawyer.  A lawyer who specializes in such cases will know who to call, what to ask for and will likely even know the attorney who is responsible for prosecuting your ticket.\n\nI, personally, wouldn't even try to fight it without an attorney, but good luck to you if you do.

To get the guy off the street is probably not your responsibility, but less within your ability.  If the credit card company has reimbursed you and covered it, it's more up to the company to decide how to proceed.  You should contact your credit card company to follow up and ask what they'll do to press charges against the one who defrauded you, if they know who he is.  It's more up to them to decide at this point, since they hold the information and the control, and since it's mostly in their best interest.  It's kind of you to think of the well-being of others, though, so I'd encourage that line of discussion when talking with the credit card company, and I hope they help.

Well, they have probably put a bench warrent out on you.  (Happened to me when I forgot to pay a ticket one time.)  Try not to do anything illegal until you pay it, and pay it soon.  Good luck.

Go to where your car is impounded and bail it out. Wherever your car was, the tow company thought they had a righteous tow and picked it up. \n\nOther than that, if you think you have a beef with the person who had your car towed, I would suggest consulting a lawyer about sueing the person for the money in small claims court. \n\nI know it sucks and a man needs his wheels. Get the car and document how much you paid, including any cab fare or other expenses. Best of luck.

As i said before get a solicitor and he will look at all the information you have.Sounds to me the solicitor will sue them for negligance.I had a bad fall 7 years ago down a pot hole right outside the bus stop when i was getting off a bus.I had to have a operation to repair a main ligament which came off the lateral side off my ankle.In plaster cast for 6 wks,then physio for 2 mths.The council admitted lybility and i was offered £24,000 which i accepted.Also the council payed all expensies for the operation in a private hospital,physio treatment.You have a strong case here and sounds to me you will be awarded if won alot more then me as i have not goune through all what you have,also all the operations you have had to recieve,and off course your age.Good Luck
