Received letter before action from parking eye Recorded Delivery

Willyoulearn

Received parking charge from Parkingeye, googled it and decided to ignore. My daughter is the RK. Is there anything I can do at this stage, do I stick it out. Do not want my daughter to get CCJ as she is looking to buy her first house with mortgage. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Date of alleged "offence"?

Date on letter?

Parking Eye are doing court at the moment, so ignoring is not what I would advise.

Come back with some info on what happened, when, etc. We can help, but need some info to go on.

And in the meantime, have a look at this thread, which will bring you up to speed with how to respond to an LBA. As Guy's Dad says - ignoring is not an option if you wish to avoid court action, as it will flag her up to PE as an easy target.

But do warn her that she is likely to get a nasty letter from PE, and while she should respond to the letter, she can ignore the content - it is just vitriolic nonsense.

Sorry OP, just replied on the other OP's thread you posted on, before realising you'd started a new one of your own. Now you can get bespoke advice linked to your circumstances. Any hijackers will be chased off (as you were from the previous thread!!)

Please do respond to Guy's Dad's questions. Beyond that, your daughter can declare to the PPC the name of the driver, then that resets the clock, with PE writing to the driver, then the driver going through the appeals process to POPLA where there are plenty of points to raise which are almost guaranteed to kick the charge into the long grass.

They are doing court, until they either get banned for misuse of the system or someone appeals a decision.

Date of offence 17th June

Date of letter 9th August

Shopped in store for which I have receipt, left car park 2 hours 15 mins after arriving, recorded in and out by PE. I know this probably sounds really stupid, I saw the signs, read the bit that said 2 hours max stay but assumed I would be clamped or have ticket put on car. The 15 mins overstay was because I sat in my car and ate my lunch!

Wow - they're miles out with that letter. If this was an ANPR camera capture then you should have received the first letter around 3rd July. Can you just check the letter of 9th August - did it say 'Notice to Keeper' (or something similar), dd it refer to the Protection from Freedoms Act 2012?

Are you sure the 9th August wasn't a 'Reminder' letter?

Have you been back to the store and spoken to the Store Manager (not the person at the customer service desk or the deputy manager). They have the power to instruct the PPC to cancel the charge, even at this late stage.

But don't take your eye off the ball, remember you must reply to the LBA within 14 days. If you don't, they can start court action.

So do still read the link to the guidance that I gave you, and follow the instructions to write an Acknowledgment which will hold the situation until you can collar the Store Manager.

I read the 9th August letter as being the Letter Before Action...

OP, could you clarify please?
