In this case the OP is in the right, he shopped at Lidl and didn't
exceed the limit. And there's proof of this as he paid by credit card
and his car was filmed by the CCTV both in and out. So he doesn't
need to do anything or explain himself in any way. As it happens he
helpfully explained to them that he'd paid by CC, which is more than
I'd have done.

As I posted further up the thread, I'm not sure how this proves that
the OP made a purchase at the relevant time unless

(a) his bank provided the name and address associated with his card to
Lidl and they passed them to the parking enforcers who obtained those
associated with his car registration from the DVLA and matched the two
up

or

(b) he told the parking enforcers his card number and they got Lidl to
confirm from their records that he made a purchase at the relevant
time.

They have my name (obviously) and the time and date. Both appear on my
till receipt. All that's needed is look up the branch records
corresponding to those. After all they will likely have logged what was
bought for marketing purposes. Do you really thing they can't do
something as simple as this? After all, it's hardly going to be the
first time it was needed.


I hadn't realised that banks passed the cardholder's name to the
retailer as part of the transaction and don't recall ever having had a
receipt of this kind showing my name. Obviously Lidl do collect and
print the name though. I've learned something.

The Lidl receipt that I've just found does not have my name on it, but of
course, my credit card has my name embossed on it.
