    Have a folder of them here, I could buy a small country if I added up all the "charges"
    Never paid them a penny, never will.
    I have a very strict policy with anyone who makes immediate threats of court action on any bill.
    Put up or shut up and never threaten me, I will see any hand of cards you claim to have in court.
    Funny enough, they never takes you up the challenge, they always throw the hand in when you call them out.
    You call them out by IGNORING THEM and ignoring all the silly fake letters that follow.

    A good top tip to bear in mind with any PPC scam is the very few people they have sued in court all have one thing in common, they have all signed some paper work sent to them by the PPC Company and given them conformation of a name.
    They may know your name, but without you ever confirming that with them they dont have anyone to sue !

    You lot are fab, thankyou! It was a hotel car park that parking eye run as a pad one, so I presume I am safe to ignore it and see what happens then.... Parasites!!!

    Parasites is a very accurate description of these companies ;) and yes it's safe to ignore parking cry , they won't go further than threatograms from them and their tame debt collectors and useless solicitors.
    Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
    They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
    Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?

    Parking Eye did take someone to court in connection with one of their PCNs.... and got crucified by the judge. They ended up nearly £4k out of pocket. I understand they're still smarting from that one and do not appear, as yet, to have lodged an appeal against the judgement.

    What case was that, out of curiosity?

    hi all

    overstayed my welcome in a pizza hut car park on saturday night by 20 mins, only allowed to stay for 2 hours by parking eye. now going to wait for the begging letters like i am with ukpc at the moment(up to 2nd letter from debt recovery plus), mrs thinks i am on a mission to !!!! off every parking company.

    also wound up the spotty waiter by telling him the notice of a parking fine if you dont log your car reg with them is illegal and all he could say was the police have checked it and it was all ok. nearly broke a rib laughing so hard

    I hope that is a branch of Pizza Hut which won't be seeing your custom again.
  • This is an invoice and not a penalty charge. log onto you tube and watch the clips on watchdog about parking charges. Also, no matter what they say or send, they are bullies trying to intimidate you into paying. They think that by sending threatening letters that people will pay, you need to be strong, dig your heels in and ignore them. they will evenually leave you alone.
    Also, if they threaten you with baliffs then this must go through a court for them to do this which will cost them and not you money. debt collectors are just as bad and scum who try to get money out of people but have no legal right to do this.
