    Well the first thing to do is not spend any more money with farm foods.
    Until people start boycotting stores who use Parking Eye then this will continue.
    Do not listen to the line, the car park is nothing to do with us.
    Yes it bloody well is.
    Be happy...;)

    Ignore it.

    Only Police and councils can "fine" people for parking "offences".

    All other organisations can only recover genuine parking charges (plus reasonable admin fees).

    Best place for current advice for dealing with this is in the Parking Forum.

    Ignoring is no longer as good an option as it used to be because PE are issuing court claims a lot more often than before POFA.
