No-one should be wasting their time, money and breath talking to scum, whether it's Crystal Palace fans or a PPC, they aren't worth it.

On an 0844 number you don't want to be hanging around pressing buttons, and, if as someone reported, the PE number costs £1.70 per minute, it would be cheaper to pay the parking charge! :rotfl:Please note, we are not a legal advice forum.

I like this YouTube link of companies such as ParkingEye trying to scam people but they must stick to strict rules in order to stay members of the BPA.

So they can't use the words FINE or PENALTY, instead they're using CHARGE to still trying to scare you.
They are one of the worst offenders when it comes to obtaining vehicle details from DVLA.0 -
Yep they are one of the biggest purchasers of DVLA data.
But that Watchdog video is only totally relevant in Scotland/NI now because it's old and it talks about ignoring a fake PCN. No longer the right advice in England/Wales, once a PPC sends a postal Notice to Keeper.
This is an old thread - did you not notice the date on the posts above on page one?! 2010!!!
Important - the advice has changed and in england/wales is no longer 'ignore'!!!!
Instead we beat these scumbags at appeal (popla etc). No-one pays but no-one ignores due to parking eye going for court now re ignorers.

If you are on Facebook, go onto Aldi FB page and kick up a stink. A lot of other people have. Aldi's tie-up with PE is proving to be a PR disaster for them.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0 -
Please create your own thread as this is Scotland and the advice is different
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=163When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
We don't need the following to help you.
Name, Address, PCN Number, Exact Date Of Incident, Date On Invoice, Reg Number, Vehicle Picture, The Time You Entered & Left Car Park, Or The Amount of Time You Overstayed.

Hi just had the appeal against our friends upheld
Hope this encourages others not to give in
Reasons for the Assessor’s Determination
The Operator issued parking charge notice number xxx arising out of the presence at Portlishead Quays Marina, on 20 July 2013, of a vehicle with registration mark xxxxxx for not purchasing the appropriate parking time or remaining at the car park for longer than permitted.
It is the Operator’s case that the Appellant’s vehicle was parked without having purchased the appropriate parking time or remained at the car park for longer than permitted and this was a breach of the terms and conditions of parking as set out on signage at the site.
The Appellant has made a number of submissions, however, I will only elaborate on the one submission that I am allowing this appeal on, namely that the parking charge amount is not a genuine pre-estimate of loss.
The signage produced by the Operator states that a failure to comply with the terms and conditions will lead to a charge of £100 being issued. This wording seems to indicate that the charge represents damages for a breach of the parking contract and therefore the charge must be a genuine pre- estimate of loss.
As the Appellant has raised the issue of the charge not being a genuine pre- estimate of loss, the onus is on the Operator to prove that it is. The Operator has produced a breakdown of costs that they incur in managing the car park, however, this is a general list of operational costs and does not address the loss that was caused by the Appellant’s breach of the terms and conditions of parking. In addition, the Operator has referred to previous cases and case law but not related it to the specific facts of this case.
I have looked at all of the evidence and have decided to allow this appeal on the basis that the Operator has failed to prove that the parking charge amount was a genuine pre-estimate of loss.
Accordingly, this appeal must be allowed.0 -
Well done Phil (and your friends).
Have just copied this and cross-referenced it to here in the POPLA Decisions Sticky at the top of the forum's first page.
Thanks for updating, it gives us feedback on the advice we provide, and gives us encouragement to continue the 'fight'.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum.
