dixieslaces Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Relax, don't pay, ignore all demands. They never go to court, but in the very small chance of it happening, then get the local press and Decathlon involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0742Sheff Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Why are you furious? It's your own fault for staying over your permitted time. From what I can see Excel have done nothing wrong. There is no permitted time. All this notice is, is an invoice. Just rip it up and ignore all their threats for a few months. They can't enforce it.

Fudbeer Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 The idea Decathlon have no control over this I very much doubt,its the car park for their store whoever owns it so I think they will want to have some say over what happens there,if one of the staff cars accidently got a ticket do you think they would pay? What I would do as poster earlier is go and see the manager show them the receipt for the bike and I am sure they would be able to assist as in this case it clearly should be cancelled imo. On the other side of the coin parking on other peoples car park is a vey real problem on sites so close to town ask yourself this if it was your business and your customers could not park on a carpark you pay for because it was full of people shopping elsewhere would you consider it acceptable?

Murphy Jnr Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 A system whereby you entered a store to obtain a parking ticket which was paid for on leaving the store could possibly do away with the need of these so called businesses. It's used extensively in park n' ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's get this absolutely correct. Excel do not issue fines. What they send is an invoice that is only enforceable through a court. They will try and bluff people through letters from people who are debt collectors (with no more powers than you and I) and solicitors. Neither have any power to do anything other than take you to court. Here they lose properly defended cases. Type "Excel lose" into google and you will see what I mean. Now try "Excel win!" Finally once you have done all this tell all your friends not to pay either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ sheffield Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I got one for parking in the car park at Hillsborough, it shows me driving in and then driving back out and the timestamp says I was there for 15 minutes. Poppycock, I was straight in and straight back out because it was full so I dont know how they got the 15 minutes stay rubbish. I just threw it away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExcelParking Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I used to work at Decathlon and unfortunately, this happens frequently. Excel own the car park, not Decathlon, so the store can't revoke the fine. Occasionally they can ask Excel to withdraw it, but at the end of the day, it's Excel's decision and they are a horrible company to deal with. If I were you, I'd go into the store and ask to speak to the Operations Manager. He'll do what he can, but don't expect too much! As other people have put, this is not true. The car park is owned by Decathlon. Excel operate on behalf of the Landowner (in this case Decathlon stores) for enforcement only. The equipment, including the Pay and Display machinery, is owned by Decathlon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
