    Just wanted to say thanks to MSE and Coupon-mad for the advice on this site - we sent a letter to ParkingEye regarding overnight parking (breakdown!) at Fleet Services. We used the template letter on this site to complain directly to ParkingEye, I think we may have even been after the deadline (the notice was dated 15/12/14, our response letter was sent around 4/1/15). The charge was then cancelled, it did not go any further.

    Its called "frustration of contract". You owed nowt so they could charge nowt.

    Kudos though to SRM who is at the top of his game.

    Whilst I in no way mean to be stereotypical or politically incorrect about this, the clue to School Run Mum's gender is in her user name...

    PS - still kudos, though

    They really need to kick out the parasite firms for good, not swat away the odd PCN for victims with enough nous to complain.

    Sounds like a follow up complaint to Trading Standards is in order, if the scammers are issuing tickets where they have no authority to do so.
