🚗💸 Parking Drama Alert! 💸🚗
Euro Car Parks, known for dishing out nearly 1.9 million tickets in just a year, has been slapped with a whopping £473,000 fine! Why? They failed to provide crucial info to the Competition and Market Authority (CMA) despite several requests. 📬
This hefty fine is a first under the regulator’s new powers, aimed at ensuring companies play by the rules. Euro Car Parks delayed responding for months, arguing they thought the CMA’s emails were scams. The CMA wasn’t impressed and went ahead with the fine anyway. 📝💼
Lisa Webb from Which? highlighted that private car parks often frustrate and confuse drivers. Many feel trapped in disputes, and with fines like these, it’s clear transparency is key. If parking firms want to shed their negative image, they need to be more open with both consumers and regulators. 🚦👥
