I am a business owner and the body corporate has signed up with smart parking compliance with absolutely no consultation with any of the 6 tenants. There was a financial incentive offered to the committee who decided and all the fines go to smart parking. None of the tenants want it and now I’m having to look at paying a lawyer to fight this. I just have a small business

I did stay longer as the shop didn’t have what I wanted but it was available online and this took me over their parking limit.

I queried asked for it to be waivered and was met with a no.

I have now received a further invoice and notification that the fine from $85 has increased to $105 and failure to pay could result in me being towed or clamped.

These guys rely on the public not checking their terms and conditions and hide the fee many lines into their spiel

By driving in you automatically agree to their terms unless you drive out immediately and you also agree to allowing them access via NZTA to you plate and details and you agree to them being able to tow or be clamped.

These clowns seem to be taking advantage of a slow NZ Fair Trading body. How can they be allowed to be granted these abilities to access data etc.

Surely $85 plus another $20 is excessive.. surely privacy is being breached and how do we know the time stamps etc are not being manipulated (even speed cameras are verified).

Oops sorry got into a rant I will be taking my fine further. They seem to have left off their conditions the ability of the person to dispute via Tribunal thereby giving a false impression that there is no other avenue than to just pay.
