Parking Eye - Two Saints Retail Park Ormskirk

So does almost everyone here, but the POPLA appeal isn't about the overstay. See the Newbies thread near the top for a link called 'How to win at POPLA'.

I have had a reply from Parking Eye....a very long legally worded reply.
The upshot of it as far as I can tell is that - the law of pre-estimate of loss has been changed so they can charge such a high amount due to
a - there is a strong commercial justification for the charge
b - there is ample case law to suggest that the value of such a parking charge is not punitive
c - Parking Eye can still provide evidence that this charge is a genuine pre-estimate of loss.

They also state that they need to know who was the driver of the vehicle at the time and if I dont provide a name then I am liable anyway.

What do I do from here?

I appreciate any help and advice you can give me

they always give out all that guff

all you need to do is read through this thread https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4816822 and act accordingly

same as your were told in posts #2 #5 #7 #9

you are not required to name the driver under POFA 2012

Same advice as I gave this person on pepipoo (my post #16 as SRM) just send a response online as it's free and you know it is received:

Also report them to the BPA for the breach of the CoP in pretending you have to name the driver to get a POPLA code (lies). Use the email addy for Steve Clark which is in the 'NEWBIES Read this first!' FAQs sticky thread here at the top of this forum.

Thank you for the advice...I have submitted an appeal online.
Hope that will be the end of the matter.....
I will keep you informed, thanks again.

It won't be the end of the matter! POPLA next so I would have thought you'd have been doing what most Newbies do, and planning your POPLA wording. NEWBIES thread post #3 has a link 'How to win at POPLA' (when you say 'I have submitted an appeal online' I hope you don't mean you actually DID get a POPLA code but didn't use a forum example winning POPLA appeal)? You did find the 'magic words' for beating PE at POPLA didn't you?!

Hi,
Thanks to everyone here who helped me I just had a reply from POPLA and my appeal was allowed so saved me £100.
I think this forum is a godsend for people who aren't sure of how things like this work so thanks again!

Excellent. Congratulations.

Would you please be kind enough to post the wording of your POPLA response on the POPLA result thread: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4488337 it allows us and other potential victims of the PPC's to see how successful this forum is.

Its happened to me and parking eye have not allowed the appeal.. i am right again to them with further evidence of the appointment my little boy had in the hairdressers which i couldn't leave him and outlining the letter shown in the previous post... or am i wasting my time? should i now just go straight to POPLA?
