HELP Parking eye "Parking Charge Notice"

27col

The point that I was trying to make was not about short term parking. Or even if you left the car park to pop into a shop nearby. Its the assumption that it is all right to park all day, and indeed, all week, without so much as a "by your leave".
Obviously the tactics that these people use are reprehensible, but if people played the game, then the companies who own the car parks would not have to employ the shysters to keep the space available for their customers. Can I assume that the op would not consider parking in someone's private drive. Because what the op is doing is exactly that, the only difference is the location.

Even if people "played the game" these companies would still be active and ticketing for various minor infringements as they do at the moment.

And if people stop "breaking the rules", then they will ticket people who don't. And move on to housing estates, where they will ticket residents. Because they need to make money to survive.

Yes, I had two letters again yesterday from Parking Eye. One telling me that the landlords had rejected my appeal (I was giving blood with two friends and had run over the time slot in th car park), even though they had confirmation of where I was as part of my appeal and another letter saying I had to pay £80 by the 27th or balffs would come and I would have a CCJ against me. The letters are scary it played on my mind last night - b******ds !

I have found out the landlord of the site and even contemplated last night whether to ring them this morning !! Oooo it makes me angry !!

Just completely ignore them, the tickets are not enforceable in law, and are just invoices.

It's a scam. You've done far too much already. Just relax and ignore. Parking eye are very well known and pis* easy to ignore.

To get a CCJ and a bailiff to come round you would need to be taken to court AND lose AND refuse to pay within 28 days.

The thing is, Parking Eye fail to mention they have never ever ever ever taken anyone to court (where they'd lose anyway).
