2 letters from Parking Eye dropped on the mat this morning first one saying my Appeal was unsuccessful because I haven't sent in the relevent infomation ie......... no copy of my disabled blue badge and a copy of a shop receipt saying I was still shopping at the over stayed time of 3 hours ..........

2nd letter is actually a letter with 2 photo's of the car front and rear taken from quite high up and I can actually see myself in the passenger seat !

Can anyone tell me what the next cause of action is ............Hubby says "on my head be it" lol if I don't do anything

You just ignore, it's as simple as that. Nothing will happen to you and you don't owe them a penny. Parking Eye never do court!

As above Parking Spy are easily ignored!

They know their invoices are unenforceable because a Judge told them so!

Hi,

I posted on this site a while ago about receiving a private parking ticket. I believe it was unfair because there were no parking machines in the car park or attendant in the entrance of the car park, therefore I could not buy a ticket, also it is always free to park anywhere on a Sunday in this particular town.

I have ignored 2 threatening letters so far, however I have since received a letter from Graham White solicitors. Now I know that if this case did go to court I would no doubt win, because of the circumstances, however what I am worried about is at the bottom of this letter it states that my credit rating could be affected.

Could it?

No!!

They miss the bit out that they would need to take you to court. Unlikely. They win even more unlikely. You didn't pay any order within 28 days of the order.

So No is the simple answer!

Plus seeing its Graham White you can relax! Just expect maybe a final, or a final final, or even a final final final pretty please letter.:D

Any comment on the following letter I have received from Graham White, so called solicitors -

My clients are now offering you a final opportunity to arrange settlement of the of the total amount due as shown above, or provide me with the information as to who was driving the car at the time of the contraventin, if you were not the driver.

The purpose of this letter is to ut you on notice that if I do not receive either payment or details of who was driving the car at the time of the contraventin within 14 days of the date of this letter,I intend to seek my clients instructions to apply for an Applicatio to the Court under 'Civil Procedure Rules 31.16 - Declaratin Before Proceedings Start'.

The effect of this order will be to involve you in any legal proceedings raised by my clients in connection with this debt. An extract of CPR 31.16 is below for your information .......................

I do feel it is important for you to understand that although you,the Registered Keeper,may not have been the driver at the time, you would come within the definitlion of 'likely' to be a part to any proceedings my clients may inititate.

If you were not the drive at the time ..................

[the bit in red says 'intend to seek ..instructions'...this doesn't mean the client will give such instruction [they won't] ie it's an idle threat.]

The effect of this order will be to involve you in any legal proceedings raised by my clients in connection with this debt. An extract of CPR 31.16 is below for your information true .......................[This would only be if said order [that they won't seek] came into play] ie it's another idle threat.]

I do feel it is important for you to understand that although you,the Registered Keeper,may not have been the driver at the time, you would come within the definitlion of 'likely' to be a part to any proceedings my clients may inititate. Gee, 'may' means it's another idle threat

If you were not the drive at the time ..................

So in summary...coulda, woulda, shoulda...may seek, may, if, consider, all makes it a letter full of idle threats than can be totally ignored.

Sir_Roger_deLodger

They are talking utter garbage, not least because CPR part 31 does not apply to the small claims track.

Just ignore.

The "'Civil Procedure Rules 31.16 - Declaration " does not apply to the small claims court. So once again "Graham White" are being very economical with the truth.

Also, this guy has been struck of the Law Society, therefore i doubt he is even legal!!

I'm receiving the same letters, from the advice on here and on other sites - just ignor him. Although i know what you mean, they are pretty intimidating!!

Good luck!!

Had my first letter from Debt Recovery Plus Ltd today, after two or three from UKPC Ltd. After some brief investigation, discovered they had net liabilities of £27,000 at the time if their last accounts. I reckon if I hold on long enough, they'll be out of business before they can take me to court!
