Hi.

I?ve just received a letter from a debt recovery agency, relating to a parking fine at Sainsbury?s dog kennel hill.

We overstayed the permitted tiMe. This was because it took i we 2 hrs just to get into the supermarket.

The debt recovery company just want money. Horizon parking have no customer lines, Sainsbury?s has no phone lines open.

So, how do I resolve this?!

Any ideas??

A Parking Charge Notice ? the one issued by private companies - is not backed up by law. Instead, it is an invoice that has been issued for what it alleges is a breach of contract. If the car park operator wants to force you to pay, they will need to take you to the civil court, which is costly and time-consuming

done that twice and it's best to complain to Sainsburys not the Car Parking people (Horizon) - email them or ring them - say you were not shopping anywhere other than sainsburys. if no phones include horizon and the CEO of sainsburys in an email also as this makes it easier - they responded to me very quickly:)


If you shopped in Sainsburys they'll probably let you off - say probably as it might have changed with Covid19.

If your appeal doesn't work, tweet @sainsburys; I did this to Lidl once, after an iffy ticket at Surrey Quays, and they quashed it.

Do a search on Martin Lewis money website because there's a lot of information on there on the legal side and specimen letters you can use to to challenge it. the same thing happened to me in a different supermarket and I offered them ?1 for my overstay and that was the end of the matter

      A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
