    Hi did you see my post #358, what do you think I should do, thanks

    You should have ignored them in the first place, I would be inclined to do so now, they have had £20 and your signature:mad:

    If there is no charge for parking I would be inclined to tell them go swivel for the rest, and say that as they are cruising between jack and doggie doo, and Jack has left town in court for consequential loss you feel that what you have already paid is more than enough. but it is up to you.

    I'm sure some of the regulars will be along soon

    What were the terms if you couldn't pay the rest of the installments in time?
  • That I would need to pay the rest and the agreement wouldn't stand, I just feel ripped off to be honest, scum making money from others

    and if you don't? Not quite sure now what will happen now that you've signed and agreed.

    The initial advice on the forum is to ignore tickets from PPCs, as they will go away eventually. Now that they know that you admit to the alleged offence and signed an agreement, they may have a stronger case if you decide not to pay and they can be bothered to take you to the small claims court.

    Post the exact wording of this new contract you have allegedly agreed with them.

    Since he first contract entitled them to zero pounds, I would be surprised if this new contract entitled them to any money instead.

    You have paid £20 more than the landowner had suffered in damages

    An interesting one that I would ask the guys over on pepipoo their opinions on it. I would say sod them and not pay any more. If they are offering to pay in installments , does that mean they need a creditors licence to do so ?

    Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?
  • Hi,
    Does anyone have any up to date info on what to do with this? I got my letter this week, called the court to check it was all legit, which it was, so now I need to respond.
    Thanks in advance

    Why not look at/bump one of the up to date PE/court threads instead of waking-up an out of date one one from 2011?

    Hi,


    I posted this on another page but think it may be sensible to start it as a new thread.

    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 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 and somebody give me some real advice? I can give more details if needed and also prove what I have been sent from the court.

    Thank you.
