Thanks for the advice! Why is the invoice not enforceable even though they are in charge of the land?

You're asking for grief (not from me).

Read the sticky and Martin's advice.

Not sure....there is a thread [sticky?] showing exactly what the chain letters look like for many PPCs, have a shufty at it.

Please can you tell me where I will find the thread off all the letters I will receive from Parking Eye?

I found them before, a few weeks ago, and now after spending almost 2 hours on it I can't find those letters here. Please can you send me the link for me to click. (It'll be easier for me)

It will be very much appreciated.

I wrote a letter telling them I wasn't the driver at the time, and I really wasn't. I received a letter with 2 photographs - one with my car entering the carpark and one with my car leaving. As it happened in the evening it was very dark and all your can see in the photograph is the lights and a bit of my car.

A few days later I received a response to the first letter I sent.

It states: "You have stated that you were not the driver of the vehicle.............................., however you have failed to inform us who was, so the outstanding charge remains your responsibility"

This is the bit thats getting me concerened:

"Judge Ackroyd, 2008, Oldham Court, Combined Parking Solutions versus Mr Stephen Thomas, in the case where Mr Thomas claimed not to be the driver, but did not state who was, ruled that on the balance of probability he was the driver and ordered the charge to be paid plus additional court costs. Therefore the optione are: Pay the outstanding parking charge or inform us who was the driver so we can pass the responsibility of the pparking charge onto them."

I never saw this one coming! What do I do now?

Do I ignore or send the harrassment letter to them?

Is the above case true? Did it really happen?

It did happen, but that was three years ago. The case is unusual because the guy went on an internet forum telling everyone he had parked on the car-park and then denied this fact when he got to court. The judge did not look kindly on that sort of behaviour and found against him.

We could equally quote some cases where PPCs have lost.

As for the letters, just go to the top of this sub-forum and click on the thread "Private Parking Companies' Letters: What to Expect".

Thanks for the swift response. I'll go the the thread and search the Private Eye letters again. I'll also send the harrassment letter to them.

I'm sure more people have received the letter I received aswell.

I'll be able to sleep well tonight!

In many cases I can totally understand why.

The letter chain is here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2214803

The case quoted is the best they can come up with, they are struggling.
Judge Ackroyd made the decision on two points Stephen Thomas posted on a forum he was driving and that he always parked there for free!

The Judge simply decided he was taking the wee wee and found against him. There are rumours that it was a win win case! A set up or we will take you to court but say the judgement is settled. Wink wink, nudge nudge!

Parking Spy have been one of the easiest to ignore, I think they are getting desperate as we have seen 3 or 4 different companies trying to collect recently. They have even used a couple of firms of solicitors to try and add weight to there claims.
However the solicitors are still only acting as a debt collector, I cant see them fancying their chance at court.
