Heard this on the radio - just a shame such bad advice is
usually given.

If the car park operates using ANPR, it's hard to see any
commercial justification for a charge of £100 for taking longer
than 5 minutes to pay.
The only purpose the time limit seems to serve is generating
more parking charges.

Just saw this on the BBC News. Could someone reach out to her
and see if the situation can be recovered?

I have already done so when I saw the news today and I hadn't
seen this post. She will be posting later today all being well.
I cannot abide Excel.
I hope with the wealth of knowledge on this forum she can be
saved providing it has not gone too far.
One interesting point in the BBC Article just above is the
solicitor mentioning POPLA. The signage to the car park on
Google Street View states it is a PUBLIC CAR PARK. Of course,
it is private land but I wonder how that could affect a case.
It's like they are almost trying to pull the wool over peoples'
eyes using more nefarious means.
I'll get my popcorn...

Interesting chat on Politics East Midlands this morning with the
Derby North MP, Catharine Atkinson talking about a new Code of
Practice.
It would be better if they went in better prepared knowing more
about this 5 minute penalty than simply saying, "It is plain
wrong". They should be able to make the point that it is not
legally enforceable under the relevant Consumer Act. That then
gets the message out to the populous that this is unlawful and
fear not.
When will they get a grip on this? Are the courts still overrun
with these types of cases? I guess so.

Between them, Civil Enforcement, ParkingEye, and UKPC issued a
combined 69,794 claims in 2023.
That's just the 3 companies about whom I was able to get
figures.
