Hi Guys, my son borrowed my car to visit his girlfriend. He Parked outside her house and received a parking ticket from Elite Management (Midlands) Ltd for £100. Are these legal, does he have to pay? He was on a resident only part and thought as she lived there he was OK. Any advice would be very much appreciated, regards Pez x

Re: Elite management parking fine
Hi Pez
As far as I'm aware parking tickets from private companies can't be enforced by law though you'll probably get chased by DCAs and maybe threatened with court proceedings.
To be fair to the Elite Management employee, how was he to know that your son was visiting his girlfriend? Does she not have a "spare" badge to give to visitors? I have a friend who used to live in a resident's parking only area and she had one to give me when I visited.Let your smile change the world but don't let the world change your smile

What does the lease say ?
