I know this may have been done to death but my wife has just got stung with a parking charge.
She was innocently going about her Saturday business and left Morfa at 3:55 PM.
Fast forward 9 weeks and she has had a parking charge. She is dismayed.
Of course the Swans were playing but she didn't know about aby parking restrictions on a bloody Saturday. Why would she? | |

They are not enforceable, but if you don’t pay, it can effect your credit rating. | |

Don't go to these places that charge | | | |

Some people say to ignore the notices, but I’d be inclined to appeal it in the first instance. Tell them she’s done loads of shopping in multiple stores and if you’ve got receipts/proof offer that up. If they can see she’s a genuine shopper, they probably cancel it. If they think she’s gone the game, they’ll let it run.
Wifey had something similar happen to her (not Morfa) and she appealed and they cancelled the ticket. | | | |

They don't charge for parking but restrictions apply on match days. Ninety minutes. She was blissfully unaware. I would have probably said about the restriction but I was working. She left the park without knowing that a game was going on across the river at 3:55 pm | |

It's "Affect" not Effect. | |

Have you got proof that she was there shopping? like receipts or bank statements... then go to them with the proof | |

I believe that on match/event days the max stay is 1.5 hours no return, 1 hour.
Your best bet as already stated is to appeal to their better nature, provide receipts etc.
There are lots of signs about, which will cover themselves. Go for the afore mentioned.
Theres loads on YouTube to help you.
Some companies are ok to deal with others are gits, best of luck. | | | |

She has got an entry on her bank statement for Morrisons cafe but I'm not sure how that will sit with morfa retail park. | |

Do they have a sign to say that restrictions apply on match day and are different from any other day? | | | |
| Morfa parking on 18:33 - Jan 4 with 6967 views | jack_lord |
They do say restrictions apply on match days.
She has no idea when a match day is. Incredible that, as frontline NHS and mother, he shopping times are restricted. | |

if they have proof she left at the time you said, then she clearly wasn't at the football | |
| |
| Morfa parking on 18:51 - Jan 4 with 6939 views | jack_lord |
Yep, they have entry and exit times recorded, photos of the car. She was in Morfa, and had a snack in Morrisons cafe. | |

Challenge it, that she's not a sports fan and doesn't know when matches are on or off. The parking company would have to have a sign saying there were restrictions at that time because of the match. Shouldn't be difficult to defeat this | | | |

Better nature? That’s a laugh. These sort of companies are absolute parasites. If there was an independent body who you could send your appeal to you might have a chance but these guys just think of their easy profit for doing nothing and their bottom line. | | | |

She could have been in Next for 2 hours. Women do. Then there iare all the other shops. She could have spent a day there. Fight it. | |

Perhaps a letter to each of the businesses set up in Morfa (and my wife will shop in most of them, including the massive amount we about to spend in B&Q) to ask what they feel about it. | |

There is an appeals body , one I used successfully when the operator tried it on .Not in the Morfa but the information below is still valid
"Private parking operators must be registered with an Accredited Trade Association (ATA) to offer an independent appeals service. Each ATA provides its own Independent Appeals Service. Only private parking operators in the British Parking Association’s Approved Operator Scheme can offer POPLA. POPLA appeals are free to motorists and funded by BPA Approved Operators.
Most drivers issued with a parking ticket have the right to contest it, but the process varies depending on where and when it was issued and by whom.
You MUST follow the process as outlined in the ticket received and decide whether to accept the charge or appeal. If you decide to appeal, contact the local authority or organisation who issued the Penalty Charge or Parking Charge telling them why you think the charge should be cancelled. If they agree, that is the end of the matter. If they reject your representations or appeal, they will tell you what you can do next. You will normally be given information about an independent appeals service.
To help with your decision on whether to appeal your ticket, all the information you need is printed on the ticket; name and address of the issuer, the charge amount(s) and the time limit in which to appeal. "

There is an office there. Upstairs just to the left of BT/EE. By KFC.
Pay a visit if you have time. | |

He wouldn’t have any power. I imagine he gets a hundred letters a week off people who have been caught for parking on a Saturday. Legitimate or otherwise. | | | |
| Morfa parking on 20:24 - Jan 4 with 6802 views | jack_lord |
What is ridiculous is that she was caught for doing exactly that - parking!
I imagine that as the manager of the site he would be able to help rescind legitimate examples. After all, they are managing his carpark. | |
