Parking eye fine

Jay04

Hi All

I have been reading most of the above. my wife was parked in morrisons car park and forgot to display a ticket. now we have a letter from a debt recovery saying we need to pay £85 for parking without a ticket. I emailed them for evidence and they have now sent me previous letters which are from parking eye. Should i pay this or just ignore the new letter from the debt recovery company. My wife thinks we should pay but i am against it. Has anyone had a bad experience where they had to pay.
Any advice would be most helpful.

regards
Jay

Please start a new thread as advice on this one is for the originator of it. You will get advice appropriate to your personal circumstances by starting your own please.

Your wife is mistaken. Honestly, I thought most women had more sense (I am female).

Sorry to be harsh but that's just 'BEING A MUG'. Why not just search on Google for 'Debt Recovery Plus Zenith' rather than start yet another thread about them?

All you need to do - now that you have unfortunately ignored the PCN and thrown away your chance to appeal - is either:

- complain to Morrisons (OF COURSE!). See the sticky thread 'Successful complaints about PPCs' near the top of the forum which already covers this in detail (with an example template strong appeal to Morrisons about Parking Eye, in post #3),

or

- wait for the Letter Before County Court Claim from PE themselves and then refer to the LBCCC thread which again, covers that in detail.


HTH but don't let your family be a victim of PE. 'Wants to pay them' INDEED!! I would go for a major complaint to the CEO of Morrisons showing receipts and saying you will NEVER shop there again unless they cancel it. Do start your own new thread please if you need to discuss this option further. PE are litigious so best to be proactive with a complaint to Morrisons about their rogue agent, and keep your wallet in your pocket.

Hi there,
my partner received a parking eye fine for overstaying in chelmsford riverside retail park for 42 minutes. the fine is standard(£50 pay now or £85 after 14 days). after looking at the advice on here i decided to take the militant approach and contested the fine for the following reasons;

my partner was ten months pregnant and mobility was an issue. she genuinely suffered a lot of sickness through the pregnancy and very often she had to sit down and eat. this was the case on the 18th of October when she became feeling unwell. she went to MacDonalds to eat and have a drink as was dangerous to drive.

i have sent a letter explaining this to parking eye who have said the appeal is not acceptable excuse and sent me details for Poplar. i provided a MATB1 form which shows proof of her Expected week of childbirth, also proof that we shopped in the retail park.

they have extended (out of good will), yeah right!!, the £50 charge for another 14 days. should i pay this, ignore, or contest further.

any help would be appreciated as £50 when just had a baby(now born) is a lot of money to find.

It would be best if you started your own thread. By the way, it's not a "fine", it's an invoice.

There is no need to pay.

Appeal to POPLA following the winning points detailed in just about every thread.

In particular it is not a genuine pre-estimate of loss. This is a guaranteed winner at POPLA.

See the post here!! ON this thread!!

If you need more help start a new thread with your draft POPLA appeal BEFORE you send it off.

New thread, please.


this is an old thread - did you not notice the date on the posts above?

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.

Get off this ancient archive thread and get onto reading the current advice!!!!!!!!!

Please read the sticky threads, the advice at the top of this forum, one click away - see my signature for where to click!

Damn. Following advice at the beginning of this thread I ignored a parking eye ticket, some time ago it has to be said, and I've just received a summons for £165! I'm stuffed I assume? :mad:

Read back a couple of pages and I am NOT a ParkingEye plant, before anyone suggests otherwise Looks like I should be starting a new thread, so I'll do that. Got a bod feeling about this though

I have just received a very official looking 'parking charge notice' for parking just over an hour at the Waltham Abbey Marriott Hotel.

For anyone who didn't know, the Marriott's provide 2 hours free parking for all meeting delegates, if your group spends more than £10 at the bar (which is around 1 1/2 coffees so easily done!)

Just remember to give reception your registration plate on arrival (which I did not do!)

Am appealing anyway, you never know!

Good luck

This thread is almost six months out of date.

To get help you will need to start your own thread where things will not get confused by lots of people asking questions in the same place
