Dear all
Following the advice on this site, I recently decided to take the militant approach when dealing with a ParkingEye invoice when I fell asleep at a service station and awoke some hours after their 2hr limit.
I e-mailed them rejecting the claim on account of losses to their client, though did not offer them the £10 I could have done which really was the deficit.
They sent out the routine refusal papers along with a POPLA form which I filled in - only for POPLA to reject it also; not that I care because it was a plain whitewash in favour of ParkingEye. Denying the false penalty factor, neither PE nor POPLA cited the legal clause why which they claim exception in seeking sums beyond losses and so I have dismissed the entire project as a racket and will not be paying unless forced to do so by the court.
ANYHOW, whilst POPLA were examining the "evidence", ParkingEye sent me a "scare file" containing 32 pages, the dialogue between them and me, and photos of their signs and their locations bla bla bla. It was here I saw the information for drivers in other languages.
It appears that in Albanian, a driver is being told that the £100 is a "gjobbë", and that means one thing, fine, a term worse than "penalty" since it is contrived to impersonate authorities.
Please ALL take this into consideration.
