WalMart Fines You $200 for illegal Parking

Article Category: Finances

Author Name: C.H. Johnson

What if you went to the store to get food for the family, but a few days after shopping you receive a fine in the mail demanding $200 for parking there? And the fine would be completely legal and you are required to pay it.

Otherwise, it starts adding charges and they send it to a collection agency or worse yet take you to court to collect. Would you be outraged?

In England, the United Kingdom, as it is in the USA they have Private Parking companies, but the private parking companies there operate at grocery stores like Aldi, Asda (Wal-Mart), and others. Some even operate outside their free NHS hospitals, pouncing on patients going in for surgery and cancer treatment.

The Private Parking companies in the UK use narrow parking spaces to maximize revenues: this means people that have disabled (handicap) parking permits get no more space than a regular space. This forces them to park illegally, outside of the tight bay lines, and end up with these fines. The parking companies ignore their pleas for help.

The UK Parliament passed a law in 2012 called the Protection of Freedoms Act: it banned private clamping firms, famous for their aggressive tactics. Unexpectedly, in response they moved into the parking industry and brought their aggressive ways with them. The 2012 Act also made it easier for parking companies to sue drivers for breaching the terms and conditions of a car parking lot, by making the person who owns the car liable. Even if they weren't driving it. Since 2012, the industry for the first time began making hundreds of millions of dollars of profit.

A newly educated Cambridge lawyer, Michael Green, has observed this situation and the harm it does to working class families and has decided to take up a class action lawsuit against these Private Parking companies. He is considering joining the UK government agency who passes on drivers' details onto the parking companies in this action too, for breach of their data protection rights.

He says: "The industry has built itself around a very profitable model of charging people extravagant amounts – up to $400 (£200) – for tiny motorist errors that are unusually unavoidable. If people don't pay the amount goes higher and higher. Fault is not relevant. It is very likely that this charging structure is unlawful, but no one can afford to take the parking firms to court to prove it.

The people getting hit by these tickets are not bad or antisocial drivers, but are often the disabled; and hospital patients going in for surgery; and doctors, nurses and surgeons who work overtime. The signs imposing these hard charges are rarely lit at night, so people do not know what they apparently agree to when they park."

On the surface this looks like a problem in another country and something that we Americans don't really need to worry about, however these things have a way of moving from one country to another and we need to help stop this in its' tracks and reverse it. Otherwise we will be the next ones getting hit by these fines.

How we can help;

If you have friends or family in the UK that has been victims of these Private Parking companies tell them about ChallengeTheFine.com and Michael Green's efforts – urge them to join the lawsuit and share it on social media. Michael says that this is a legal challenge that will stand or fall according to people's willingness to turn this viral: and the more voices that join the the less the UK government will be able to ignore them. Here is his website where they can join:

Also you can go to the American version of these companies' websites and send them an email message that you do not like what they are doing in the UK and demand they cease this immediately. Tell them if they don't stop this you will boycott their stores and products until they do.
