    To be honest, I'm surprised the PPC cameras aren't being attacked like Angle Grinder Man with the Gatsos from a few years ago.

    There is an Aldi near me, using Parking Eye but the car park is shared with a PH whose car park is 'managed' by another scam PPC with a goon on site. PE's anpr camera's can take a pic of you entering and then leaving but they will not show which part of the car parked one has used. The photos then are useless. :)

    What is the use of hiding your number on exit? They will have recorded you as having entered but not left. Hence your 'fines' will be continually mounting as you haven't left the car park as far as they are concerned. Surely you want to hide your number on entry or am I missing something here?.
    It wouldn't flag up.
    They need a matching set.

    But there are additional reports they can run such as unreadable/unrecorded/non-standard reg. numbers. This would show images of vehicles for which no reg. no. has been recorded or as it should more accurately be described - "read". Hidden, dirty or obscured numbers together with non-standard font and foreign plates all get lumped into this category. Whether they can be bothered to use the report is another thing of course.
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com

    Nothing they can do with it though.

    The task itself is somewhat onerous and really isn't worth doing.

    I parked in a Parking Eye car park this week for 7 hours over the allowed time.

    I like to keep the post man in a job. :D
