The only way you can be made to pay this, is if they take you to court and you lose. The chances of that happening are minuscule.

For 2011
Fake tickets issued: 1,800,000
Small claims: 845
Actual claims before a judge: 49
Claims won by PPCs: 24
Chances of going to court: 36,000-1
Chances of losing in court : 72,000-1

So the ignore advice is the best option for you, unless you get signed and stamped court papers.

They claim around a 55%-60% payment rate.
The court cases are minuscule on the scale.
if we take the lower figure.
We see that IGNORING 100%
Worked for just short of a million motorists that year.
If it has to be said a million times, IGNORING works.
Nothing has worked as well.
A Million people ignored them 24 were taken to court and lost and off that it is fair to say that they were undefended cases or even set up by parking firms.
And, they have NEVER won an appeal.
The solution is out there, it is enshrined in to Law.
You do not have to contact, negotiate, appeal, write back, telephone anyone .

The only option available is to take you to a civil court, where they generally lose and have never won an appeal against a senile judge decision.

Quick update from my last post in late Dec 2012...

I left my car in an M1 services while I went to do some work for a day further up north....received a fine from parking eye....is this too worth ignoring? or do motorway services operate differently to shop fines etc.

I bought a dozen eggs at ASDA and got a ticket. Does that mean I should pay the fine or ignpre it or ask for a POPLA hearing

When you get a moment in your obviously busy day, take a moment to look at some of the other posts in this thread.


What can you see?

You have overstayed in a private car park. The fact it is a service station is immaterial.

You have no valid mitigation for your contravention, so you will need to rely on a technical appeal.

You need to know the timescales involved if you want to use POPLA.

The PPC has 14 days from the contravention to contact you.

You then have 28 days toi appeal to them. In that appeal you give your reasons and demand a POPLA code if they turn you down.

You then make your appeal to POPLA using the successful technical reasons littering this forum, but a selection of the successful ones are on the sticky POPLA Decisions thread at the top of the forum,

And that is it in a nutshell.

Oh, I should have said, you could always pay if you prefer, but I guess you wouldn't want to do that as you came on here.

And, finally, the bad news is that Parking Eye are the one PPC that seems to be doing lots of court action at present.

Read current threads not old ones...errrrrrrmmm...this one is a year old(!!) and pre-dates the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 and POPLA appeals. Start your own thread once you have read up (threads on the first few pages of the forum) about POPLA appeals and have challenged the fake ticket & got to POPLA stage.
