Help! Got fined for illegal parking in private land!

sonsmile

I just got fined by a private towing company for parking iilegally in the parking space of a private company in the city.  Actually it is only 20 min.... I admit I shouldnt have park over there, but first, the sign is small that I didnt realize it ( I was in a rush to handle sth), second the fine for clamp down my car is 150NZD. I wonder whether it is overcharged as the towing company is hired by the private company building that I parked....

Any advice from you guys ? Can I make any complaints over charges?  I know some ppl get fined for  different amount, I wonder there is any standard for that.

Thanks.

No over charge, you parked in private parking. You have to pay it.

There is no legislation regulating wheel-clamping on private property. They charged us whatever they want. I checked the articles.... yeah, in my case there is sign, but it is small and not listed in every parking, only one in a line of parking space.... It takes time to go to tribunal as well.....

It seems that I have to accept it and be careful next time...........
