Same with an aldi I used on Monday, a few hours after I'd left I
realised I hadn't punched my reg into the touchscreen, emailed their
head office, told them I could provide a receipt where the timestamp
would match the camera - they were good about it and said they were
confident they could help me successfully appeal the ticket (outsourced
obviously).

The trick with Parking Eye who operate many ALDI carparks is to make not
response at all. you will get 3 letters and then nothing more.

I have been through this a few months back and sat tight as recommended
and had no comeback. The letters and my till receipt are on the
mantelpiece ready for a fight if they try anything!

The folklore is that if you do respond and then fail to convince them
that they will pursue for the payment but I'm not convinced.
They are universally hated by our local ALDI staff who will bend of
backwards to help provide proof that you are a customer.

They are the scum of the earth using frightening tactics to extort
money. Going through the courts as they suggest costs them far too much
and they don't bother.
