    Fully agree. A tactical letter here will help a future action for harassment. Cannot go amiss, unless, unfortunately, they were to read it and act upon it...so I wouldn't mention harassment, just say, please don't send me any more letters as I have already told you I wasn't driving and these threats are causing me distress...words to that effect.. no more than that.
  • just received a letter from parking eye !! not happy i have 2 days left to pay not sure what to do :(
  • You don't have to do anything other than ignore it. You don't have to pay it. It's a scam. Parking Eye are one of the more well known Private Parking Companies (PPC) and are, to all intents and purposes, a complete joke.

    Put the letter to one side, read the sticky threads and get on with your life.
  • thank you angel xx:j

    You have 2 days to pay or else:
    1 - the world is going to explode
    2 - the SAS will smash into your house and arrest you for high treason
    3 - You will get another threat-o-gram from Parking Pie

    Just ignore Parking Pie, the world's not going to end, the SAS won't come knocking, all you will get is some more lovely letters.

    Well my suggestion is, why don't you just read the current forum threads, updated every day, rather than this random one?

    See my signature for how to view the forum, it is only one click away. It includes a top info sticky thread, 'PPC letters & threats' which shows you a preview of the letter-chain in pics and a link to Watchdog on this scam. That thread answers your dilemma and confirms that you can just ignore the letters and play snap with them as they match the pictures.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    No, he's an idiot.

    Parking Eye don't even clamp and it would be illegal to clamp for an alleged debt. That would be like me saying you owe me some money, and when you don't pay, me turning up at your house and seizing your PC!

    Have you read the current forum and seen the Watchdog clip on the top thread yet, as I suggested? See my signature for where to click, just one click.

    Yeah Khani, just ignore them, they are simply scammers and are used to the fact that a high percentage of the people they write to just give them the middle finger.

    They make their profit from the mugs who take them seriously. Unfortunately, despite our efforts, there are still quite a few of those too.

    But you can help by speading the word amongst your friends- private parking companies? Don't pay, just ignore!!
