Parking Eye - Nasty tricks

I've tried that regularly with Parking Eye. I only got a ticket once. They don't like playing.

No one would condone parking in a P&D car park without paying.

The owners do have a right to have a pay & display, if they wish to introduce one. Most I know give you the value back at the tills. You can always choose not to shop there if they use a P&D

I would pay if I wanted to use it, but I certainly would not pay any invoice placed on the car for what ever reason, by a totally powerless PPC.

Hi folks,

Recieved a demand from ParkingEye this weekend, delayed by the bad weather here in Scotland and so it arrived a few days after the date for cheaper payment passed.

Before I found this thread, and several others elsewhere, I had emailed their "appeals" address explaining that I had not recieved the notice in time to pay it at the lower cost and that if they reduced it back to the lower amount I would pay up.

I recieved this afternoon a reply from them stating that it would be reduced back to the lower cost of £40 " as a gesture of goodwill" and held at that for 7 days.

Having said in my email to them that I would pay if it was reduced have I boxed myself in to a corner or can I just ignore them from now on as seems to be the advice throughout this thread?

I realise from reading this thread and others elsewhere that I should have completely ignored them but I didn't find this advice until after I had emailed the appeals address.

thanks for any advice that might come.

You haven't boxed yourself in as the only way they could enforce payment is through the courts. I stand to be corrected but Parking spy I believe don't do courts. I would say you are safe in ignoring them from now!

Thanks for the quick response and reassurance. I'll sit back and see what turns up in the post over the next few weeks/months.

The goodwill gesture was a sign of their greed they thought they had a live one who was going to pay something.:)

Hi all, not sure if I have posted this at the right place, but here goes.......
I have received a parking charge notice from Parking Eye for parking my car too long at a service station. Yes I was there, but I was actually sitting in the car for the majority of the time.

Can I get out of this one??

Yep!! all they will have is a nice little picture of your car entering and then leaving. The next letter might even show you a picture of it!

You may get a few more letters but ignore them. They soon move on to try and gain from someone else who may not be PPC savvy!;)
