gemmalee83 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 i have just recieved a letter through my post, it is a £80 parking fine for parking in a mcdonalds carpark for 2 hours, i was all of this time inside the mcdonalds restaurant which is by a srevice station in derby,!it states the time i arrived and the time i left and that i was there for longer than the maximum period! i never saw any signs stating this and as for being there 2 hours we met my mother and father in law there to celebrate our sons 1st birthday and with doing this inside mcdonalds, we was eating inside mcdonaldsand the kids played in the play area provided and my little one opened his presents and took there time eatin there dinner without bein rushed, but had we been aware of this i would have had to rush the kids to eat there dinner etc just because we cant ark for more than 2 hours!!!!! rediculous!!!

Darth Vader Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/about-us/contact-us/contact-form.mcd Only the police and the council can issue fines. So it's most likely yours will be in 'invoice'. Who is the invoice from? If it's frorm a private parking firm, see the Excel/VCS thread on this forum and visit pepipoo for advice. I would be complaining very strongly to McDonalds also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawny1970 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 ohh wait for all the comments about it being your own fault!!, just remember, its an invoice, NOT a fine legally you do NOT have to pay it, and NEVER talk to the company ok!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenger Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 The Heathrow McDonalds was well known for doing this too. Complain to McDonalds and get them to deal with the parking company. Don't respond to the Parking Company yourself, otherwise they'll know they've got a live target and will be harder to get rid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damageandy Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 they have a number but only goes through to a automated payment line, no ones there to talk to only a email address to make payment or by post or tellephone i like how you get advice from more than one person saying the same thing and you ignore it. A simple search on the forum will bring up a massive thread giving exactly the same info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
