Should I contact Parking eye

mickboy_2

Hi got a parking charge from Parking Eye
Showing Vehicle arriving 09.37 and departing 11.31 on 08/12/2012 total of 1 hour 52 mins staying over time allowed by 22 mins in Aldi -Iceland car park.I received this notice on 29th December which was actually a reminder notice saying that if I paid before the 28th December the charge would be reduced from £70.00 to £ 40.00, the ironic thing about this is I did drive in at 09.37 but drove back out again because I needed some shopping in Morrisons.
Then I drove back in and parked at about 10.25
I have reshearched a bit before posting this thread and have doubts about contacting them ,but my wife is concerned that they may take me to court

IGNORE everything from the scamming scumgags and they WILL bogg off and go away, there begging letters will come in handy for emergency toilet paper, one never ever knows when you will run out of the stuff :money::D

"Should I contact Parking eye"
Only if you want twice as many stupid letters.

Ignore them.

The chances of them taking you near a court is very low.

More important than contacting the parking con men which will do no good you should certainly contact Aldi - Iceland and ask them why they employ these bogus parking companies to drive their customers away!
If every one did this these leeches would be starved!

Yep first in last out, this happens to often to be a coincidence , if it was me and I had the receipt from morrisons I would make a complaint to the dvla and trading standards

Gan (who is the letter-meister supreme on PePiPoo) has suggested this letter on a thread over there:

Dear Sir

Ref : PCN ****

I am appealing this ticket.

The vehicle was not parked for the time you allege. Your ANPR system is defective.

If this appeal is rejected, I require the validation code for POPLA

Yours faithfully

I would be very tempted to send that to them!

As Gan points out, if they reject this they are leaving themselves open to a complaint to the DVLA for misuse of data if they persist in demanding money after you have alerted them to both the fact that your car wasn't present when they say it was, and to an error with their 'ANPR' system.


Oh, and they most definitely won't do court with this! They know they are playing hard and fast with the ANPR data as it is, and also the legal standing of their 'fines' so they certainly won't want a judge looking at it too.

updating got a letter dated 17th January 2013.
My wife said it arrived on the 23rd I've been away, they really are efficent,the letter is stating that 29 days have now passed and the amount payable is £70.00 this payment is required within 14 days to avoid futher action.
If this letter is ignored further action may be taken such as instructing solicitors to secure payment or issue court proceedings which could incur futher costs and it is signed by someone from the legal department the signiture is that bad it could be Micky Mouse.
I find this letter a bit farcical and I'm probably not the first to receive one

You are not the only one - you should find the letter here (maybe listed under a different PPC):

I have just received my 4th letter Dated 11th June it's actually 142 days since the last one in which they gave me 14 days to pay or or further action would be taken.
This letter gives the same notice failure to pay £70.00 further action may be taken and court proceedings may be issued, which will incur futher costs
