Pensioner hits out at car park owner after being fined £100 for 37-minute stay
AN ANGRY pensioner has told how he was hit with a £100 fine after leaving his vehicle at a local car park for just 37 minutes. Jim Robinson was shocked to discover he had been slapped with the charge after visiting Greenock with his wife Margaret last month for an appointment. Despite paying a £2 fee to use Hunters Place car park, Mr Robinson received a fine through his letterbox from Civil Enforcement Limited, a Liverpool-based parking fine company. He was told in the letter that the fined had been levied because he and his wife had either stayed longer than the allotted four-hour time slot or that a payment has not been made 'in accordance of notified terms'. But Mr Robinson maintains that he paid for his visit and left well before the allotted time was up. The 85-year-old Ardentinny resident says he has made two appeals to Civil Enforcement Limited, but has not had any response yet, and added that he is 'frustrated' with the firm's 'poor communication'. (Image: George Munro) He told the Tele: 'I parked here with confidence that my money was accepted, and I was covered. 'I would hope that they would ask me why I am appealing because at the moment when I try to appeal, I am not hearing anything back.'

Mr Robinson wants to make sure no one else gets 'caught out' with a fine and says he will continue to appeal his charge. He added: 'There are all of these disables parking spaces, and it doesn't count when people don't park here for fear they will be fined. 'You think you follow the correct procedure and then you get a letter through your door telling you otherwise. 'A lot of people would just pay the fine, but I am not one of those people I am afraid.' (Image: George Munro) Mr Robinson added: 'I know a few people who belong to Inverclyde and even they say locals never use this car park because they have had all sorts of problems with it.' The car park, which is primarily used by Oak Mall shoppers, is owned by the shopping centre, but is not operated by them. The Telegraph contacted both the Oak Mall and Civil Enforcement Limited for comment on Mr Robinson's fine, but at the time we went to print had not received any response.
