Advice on a Parking Eye Parking Charge Notice

I have received a Parking Charge Notice from Parking Eye, it says it has photographic evidence of me parking in B and Q car park, it even gives times down to the very second!!

I know I parked there but never saw any signs to say that the maximum time I could park there was 2 hours.

They would like me to pay £50.00 before Friday 17th Feb or it will go up to £80.

Any advice would be most gratefully received!!

    Read all of these similar threads (you just needed to search for Parking Eye on the forums):

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/search.html?searchid=75991655

    Then read the sticky ('please read before posting'!) which tells you about these fake PCNs:

    Then see the Parking Eye letter-chain that you will receive, illustrated here:

    Then just sit back and ignore the scammers. It doesn't matter even if they had the clearest high-def photo ever of your car and a timer calibrated to Greenwich Mean Time! It's not evidence of anything you need to worry about.

    You have not committed any offence and nothing will happen except the registered keeper will be sent the letters shown on the last link. Ignore the lot and they will just stop & give up, they are seeking victims who will be scared and pay.

    Don't be a victim of a private parking company scam!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • I like the sentiment but its probably easier and eventually quicker to just ignore them. As its only a begging letter that should be easy.
    You will get 4-6 more threatening letters/solicitors letters and debt collectors missives. All safely ignored.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

  • Thank you very much guys and gals, I would have just paid it but wondered if I could get round it some way. Here starts the ignoring the letters!!

  • Parking Eye are a bunch of numpties, even by PPC standards. They are very easy to ignore, I have been doing it for years. Expect another letter from them followed by a couple from an outfit called CCS then they will crawl back into their pond.

    I agree, ignore. I had a ticket from them, then one letter from CCS. And that was that. They were rubbish, as scammers go.
  • We got one of these lovely "PCN"'s today from parking eye also. Thanks to all the advice we will also be ignoring it, watch this space for more info.
