In this case the OP is in the right, he shopped at Lidl and

by credit card and his car was filmed by the CCTV both

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

Unless nothing.

The CC transaction will give the location and exact time and date.

You can't really get a much better standard of proof than that.

The fact that the claimant may have to jump through hoops to
satisfy themselves that the OP is speaking the truth as he
claims, or in the end find themselves unable to do so, is
entirely their problem. Not his.

I don't agree

the offence is one of "forgetting to enter his details at the time"

There is no such offence.

What's more I can't see what you hope to achieve by putting
phrases in quotation marks. This is is standard practice when]
quoting some source or other, but as its clear you're simply making
things, up it merely served to weaken your case.


as such it IS the OP's job to prove that they were otherwise entitled to free parking,
It is this mistake which has caused the company the inconvenience of establishing this,
so it is HIS task to prove it.

No it isn't.

All the fannying about isn't a requirement on the part of the
customer at all, providing they have proof which would satisfy
a court or any reasonable person.

Its solely a convenience from the companies perspective which
allows them to operate the car park without an on site
attendent. The fact that they can bluff members of the public
such as yourself into believing otherwise probably accounts
for a large proportion of their profits which most likely derives
from such "fines"
