However..

My sister and I have both recvd letters from Parking Eye and it states Parking Charge Notice..
Both £90 (reduction to £60 iof paid by the 24th Oct)
Both has photos..
Mine just shows my car bonnet and number plate
My sisters the same BUT WITH HER AT THE DRIVING WHEEL

Quetsion is do we both still refuse to pay..
I am the keeper and driver
My sisters partner is Keeper but she is driver..

We do not want to go to court or have a CCJ if we do not pay

Kind Regards

Absolutely, completely ignore anything they send you.

You have had the same answers over on the Consumer Action Group forum. Just ignore Parking Eye. It's as simple as that.

If you've read all the forums as you say you have, then you'll also know the circumstances under which you could end up with a CCJ and the chances of that happening (which are approximately zero).

Exactly.


It appears to me that with so called "keeper liability" in the offing the BPA / Private Parking Industry are quite keen to promulgate the myth that not knowing who was driving is the ONLY reason they can't recover their charges in a small claims court action ...this of course is nowhere near the truth.

Let me guess, your "crime" was parking for longer than 2 hours and not paying the ~ £10 fee via some automatic mobile-phone service?

Ignore Parking Eye, the most the landowner can take you to court for is whatever the parking fee for 2 -> 24hours is, not some random contractual penalty from a 3rd party

The ANPR system is fatally flawed because if it was used as evidence in court you could not just show the entrance and exit picture as you could have driven in and out of the car park all day without ever parking.

The court would need to see the continuing recording without any breaks or editing. Plus the picture of someone driving out of a car park, doesn't mean they drove into the car park.

CCTV is a great aid to identifying people committing crimes and such but as evidence it is very seldom used or allowed!

If the freedoms bill does allow ANPR I would suggest anyone who is taken to court, insist on the whole recording from entering to exit being viewed in court as a defence. That would pi55 district Judge Wannabe off!!:p

Yes it is easy to doctor a still image in photoshop........so the only actual absolute evidence would be in real time video
