Received this penalty from Tesco car park for overstaying even
though I had my blue badge clearly displayed.Any help would be
appreciated. I thought I could park for 3 hrs.

First thing to do is edit your post on here. Do not reveal who
was driving. "The driver" parked and you'll deal with this as
the keeper.

Unless stated on the signage, a blue badge affords no additional
privileges on private land.
However, as this is a Horizon charge, send an appeal along the
lines of the below:
[indent]Dear Sirs,
I have just received your Parking Charge Notice to Keeper _____
for vehicle VRM _____
You have failed to comply with the requirements of Schedule 4 of
The Protection Of Freedoms Act 2012 namely, but not limited to,
to give the notice of keeper liability in the format prescribed
by section 9 (2) (f) of the Act. You cannot, therefore, transfer
liability for the alleged charge from the driver at the time to
me, the keeper.
There is no legal requirement to name the driver at the time and
I will not be doing so.
I do not expect to hear from you again, or your debt collectors,
except to confirm that no further action will be taken on this
matter and my personal details have been removed from your
records.
Yours etc[/indent]
If you appeal online, make sure you do not tick any boxes etc.
revealing who was driving, and check your spam folder for the
response. If by post, send it regular first class, getting a
free certificate of posting from a post office.

Were you actually shopping at Tesco? If so, producing a receipt
or even just an entry on a credit card statement would be
helpful i.e. I was a bona fide customer and I am sorry I
overstayed a bit. Generally works better to take this side up
with Tesco management in store.

Given that I've just advised the OP to not reveal the identity
of the driver, it'd be wise for those replying to avoid doing
the same.
You're right that contacting the store is generally a wise
course of action, but from what we see here and on PePiPoo, the
appeal template I suggested above yields consistent success with
Horizon.

Fair enough. The approach to Tesco in-store (my wife has done
this successfully after a megashop and negotiation over a
Clubcard that exceeded two hours) works well if you are a
genuine shopper. I surmise that OP in this case perhaps wasn't
so sticking to your template is probably best.

So when i reply i shall state my name and address as the
registered keeper of the vehicle but will not divulge any
information about the driver.
Great
Thanks

Correct. The template I suggest above can be used verbatim,
filling in your details as keeper.
