ParkingEye charge

Posts: 11 Forumite
Hi,
I thought I'd ask a little advice here.....
I received a parking charge from ParkingEye on two separate occasions 12.10.12 and 29.11.12 in the same car park and received letters etc. I followed the advice I was given and ignored, ignored, ignored. A couple of days ago however I received a different letter. There was no veiled threats, no ambiguous language such as may, might, could. It outwardly says further action will be taken and court proceedings will be issued.
This is unusual from what I've seen of ParkingEye as, like I stated, they normally use lots "well we might", does this change in tone mean that they are actually going to take action. I've always said if they start court proceedings I'll pay but I'd ignoreand see what happened up until that time. Is this a sign that I should back down and pay before the court costs are included?
Thanks for any advice anyone can give me

This is a standard letter template that you've got, check the letter chain thread above for the post October letters from them, you'll see yours there. Just continue to ignore them like what you've been doing already.When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
We don't need the following to help you.
Name, Address, PCN Number, Exact Date Of Incident, Date On Invoice, Reg Number, Vehicle Picture, The Time You Entered & Left Car Park, Or The Amount of Time You Overstayed.

I thought the same but on checking the thread I definitely didn't see it there..... hence the asking.
I've scanned it but I'm not allowed to post links so can't link it.....
However if you were to find my user name on Photobucket .com you'd be able to see it's only image in my library.....0 -

By the way it's bluster, they will not take you to court IMO , they have had some bloody noses in court and as they don't have any legal right to offer parking ( google hmrc v vcs) they won't risk another hiding.When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you.

I have one too, exactly the same, says ParkingEye WILL take further action and WILL issue court proceedings.
I followed all the advice on here and ignored a number of Parking Charges, but this letter isn't on any of the letter chains and my wife and I are getting really worried.
Any advice would be much appreciated0 -
It is just another version of previous letters. It's not on the letter chains thread because it's a new version.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Unfortunately, a few days after this letter I received court papers through the door.
I've always stated that as soon as they took it as far as court I'd pay as I have neither the time, energy or resources to defend it. It's a shame they've added £25 court fees and £50 solicitor costs into the bargain
