Shocking consequences: Motorists have to pay for a short use of parking!

In a scandalous incident in Graz, a driver was confronted with high demands after accidentally parking on a private property. The former banking location in Herrgottwiesgasse is currently empty, but the gate to the parking lot remains unlocked. Drivers who drive there can be unexpectedly identified as possessions, as Orf Styria reported . A Graz received Post from a law firm in which he was imposed on a payment of 395 euros to avoid a lawsuit. Consumer protector Bettina Stepwieser said that this sum lies significantly above the actual costs that can be asserted for a disorder. "The real costs are usually only 20 to 50 euros," said stepwieser.

Another dramatic case turned out to be a woman in front of a hospital for a short time in a short time to pick up her elderly father. Despite the immediate removal of the vehicle, a towing entrepreneur made her a claim of 399 euros, as the Association for consumer information . The VKI supported those affected and made it clear that such high amounts were disproportionate and not due to actual costs. The court confirmed the reasoning of the VKI and dismissed the towing company's complaint, since no demonstrable costs had arisen from the alleged possession of the possession. So the consumers had to receive the transferred amount of 299 euros, since the court classified this claim as excessive.
