So received a fine from my gym carpark for exceeding 3 hour limit although gym members are entitled to free all day parking. Appealed the fine directly stating I'm a member and entitled to free parking, and that their signage states nothing about entering your vehicle reg into a machine(which they rejected the appeal on the basis of). refused to pay the parking fine for over a year until we eventually went to court. I put in a counterclaim explaining how they were unlawfully pursuing me. As expected by both G24 (car park company) and DCB Legal(their representatives) according to other reviews, they pulled out their claim weeks before court, leaving just my counterclaim. In the end they were ordered to pay me just short of £300 to cover my out of pocket expenses. Throughout the whole year they intentionally pursued me despite knowing there was no contract breach, in the hopes I would get intimidated and fold. they told my gym on two occasions they had cancelled the fine but continued to pursue me behind closed doors, sent me multiple intimidating letters including bailiff letters, called on occasions all for a fine they knew right from the beginning (because I as a simple citizen had to explained it to them) that there was no breach of contract and the fine was unlawful. DCB and G24 prey on the vulnerability of individuals and use malicious tactics to rinse them of their money. Be wary when using their car parks, and if you happened to receive an unlawful fine, pursue it to court, keep ALL evidence of everything from letters, signage, calls, any correspondence, and anything else related to matter and counterclaim against them. Feel free to email me if you need any assistance. Shame on both companies and their employees. Sold out for a pay check.
