Hi folks,
Looking for some help/advice here. A lot of the info here are applicable to England and Wales?? Just got a PCN issued by Parking Eye through today. Looking for £85 (reduced to £50 if paid within 14 days).
Best way to proceed with this? I see a lot of people in Scotland ignore it? Is Parking Eye a cowboy/joke firm?
Cheers.

The advice for PCNs received in Scotland for people living there is to ignore.
Scotland is not covered by the POFA 2012, so keepers are not liable for other drivers of their car.Newbie thread: go to the top of this page and find these words: Main site > MoneySavingExpert.com Forums > Household & Travel > Motoring > Parking Tickets, Fines & Parking.

The current advice is to ignore as there is no keeper liability in Scotland , parking eye are a litigious company who do issue claims in England and Wales , to date nothing in Scotland . But keep an eye out for it, and file any letters away. If you get a claim come back immediately.When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
We don't need the following to help you.
Name, Address, PCN Number, Exact Date Of Incident, Date On Invoice, Reg Number, Vehicle Picture, The Time You Entered & Left Car Park, Or The Amount of Time You Overstayed.

Follow the advice already given BUT we're not allowed to call them cowboys on here as they get upset and send pointless threats of legal action against MSE and posters."The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis." - Dante Alighieri0 -

On the grounds that it's a speculative invoice by tonto and his mates, seriously they have no standing to issue unlawful penalties, and as they don't know who to issue a claim against in Scotland they will face a big problem in issuing.
Ask yourself this, for your time of parking, do you think you caused parking eye to lose £85 for the exact time you stayed? No, well then it's an unlawful penalty, even in the Cambridge case reported yesterday the small claims judge said it was a penalty.When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you.

Im sure there are also some highly skilled cowboys out there, especially in the fields of horsemanship, and animal herding/rearing that would get very upset at being compared to the likes of Parking eye.
you may choose to ignore, but there are a few issues in that approach ( as there were before all this POFA stuff in England)
If it was me, i would be complaining to the car park owner / store attached to the car park ( if known) as Registered keeper/owner of the vehicle and demand that they call off the car parking company.From the Plain Language Commission:

The money sucking leaches will send you lots of threatening begging letters and fake legal dept red letters, all will come in very handy for emergency bogg paper, one never knows when you could get caught short. :money:Cheers folks. I'll just ignore it! Hopefully won't come to much else!!PPCs say its carpark management, BPA say its raising standards..... we all know its just about raking in the revenue. :eek:0 -
Apparently they make great guinea pig bedding once shredded.
