Parking Eye Fine

I took all the advice from this website and from BBC watchdog regarding a fine from Parking Eye and to my astonishment have just been issued with a CCJ. Does this mean I am the first person ever to get one and what advice do you have now? I am being told I owe £240 + legal costs and solicitors fees. I can probably just about afford it but I feel massively let down by every single piece of advice I was given. Do I accept the fine? Please put this in every forum to get rid of the myth that this company do not take people to court!!

He's logged off now. Nothing to see here but the dust of a PPC troll who has given up after the first pathetic attempt to try to tell us that he had been 'issued with a CCJ'.

For any newbies reading this, you can't just be slapped with a CCJ, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN LIKE THAT!

And the only time that Parking Eye ever went to Court was when they were taken there by a registered keeper and the judge told Parking Spy to pay the motorist's money back, plus costs! :rotfl:

Whilst it is perfectly possible that smithy2121 has indeed incurred a CCJ at the hands of PE one must wonder why - entirely contrary to "all" the advice given here - that the poster ploughed their own furrow and did not bother to return for further, detailed advice once they received the claim? One must question whether this claim ever existed given the regularity with which similar such stories are posted never to be expanded upon.

Perhaps the repeated use of this single theme suggests there is just a single troll?

"do I accept the fine" Sounds more like one of the pieces of fake court papers often sent out to intimidate and its never been near a court.

My word they are taking action against their own employees.

Everyone else takes the advice and ignores the silly letters, but I suppose if you work for them it's a bit trickier.

As trolling attempts from PPCs go this has to be one of the worst!

Unless the baliffs have been round and taken smithy2121's computer.

I am sorry for having to go offline, I typed my previous post whilst very upset at being sent a County Court Summons from Northampton County Court. I can scan the 4 page document I received as obviously I have not been believed as proof and I promise this is all true, I am not a 'spammer' as people will have you believe. I did join the forum on Friday as I was upset and felt I needed to let people know that it is possible that Parking Eye can send a Summons.

I parked in a car park in October which had just been taken over by Parking Eye. It was on a Sunday and the cost of the car park was £5 for the day. I did not realise I had to pay as I was in a rush and had never had to pay previously on entering the car park. I did the exact same thing 2 weeks later as I had not received any correspondence from Parking Eye and was unaware I could not park for free.

I then received 2 letters from Parking Eye requesting payment of £60 with another £60 on top of this if I did not pay within 14 days. I looked on this website as well as others and was happy to see that nobody ever gets taken to court. The advice on the BBC Watchdog site also backed this up so I ignored the letters. I then received another 4 letters which I was expecting (as explained elsewhere on this site) so did not worry and ignored again.

I have now been sent a court summons from Northampton County Court saying I now owe the amount claimed + court fees and solicitors costs with a response pack. This gives me 5 options:

Admit the amount I owe
Admit part of the amount I owe
Dispute the whole claim
Request 28 days to respond to the claim
Do Nothing

I am as shocked as everybody else and understand that maybe by first message appeared to be spam, but I should hope with the extra detail people will believe me. I am still panicking a little, my mum thinks I should just pay it as I do not want to get a CCJ but I want to fight it.

Please can this be taken seriously this time and somebody give me some real advice?

Thank you.

Blimey Parking Spy going to court, they must be wanting another beating.
