You guys were right. I got a letter back from Welcome Break saying that they would accept the £10 parking fee + £10 admin charge.

I know that, some might argue that the fact that the signage wasn't visible on a dark and rainy night means I should pay nothing but I don't mind paying the parking fee and the admin fee is not unreasonable for their quick and polite email responses.

They have said that Parking Eye will be contacting me to say how the money should be paid so it may not be over yet, but, as far as I am concerned, this is a fair result.

Thanks all, for the good advice and support and convincing me that this was a battle worth fighting.

I doubt PE has a template for £10 + £10. More mileage yet in this ........ possibly?

Personally I still wouldn't pay it but it's not my decision at the end of the day.

Sorry RavSC but I don't agree with you.

OK for you - it's hopefully only £20 and you're off the hook, with little hassle.

But in reality you have perpetuated the scam.

You have given Welcome Break and their partners in crime ParkingEye confirmation that there are enough people out there who will allow themselves to be ripped off.

As long as some / even a few folks pay up they will keep going with this money making enterprise.

Slightly misleading...they will only keep going as long as enough people pay to cover all their business costs.

Perhaps - but only very, very, slightly then.

Of course there must be a 'break even' point - but the thing is their running costs are so low in the first place.

And there's me thinking they survived only on losses :rotfl:

I see this complaint as a success and can see why you agreed, under the circumstances. I also think it will help other newbies so I have added a link to your thread here:
