Hi, following a recent trip to Cornwall, I received THREE tickets from Parking Eye, which I can provide to anyone who needs to see them.

Fine 1 is from Newquay Golf Club, whereas Fine 2 and 3 are from Fistral Beach.

Fine 1: I called up the Golf Club and explained we had a lesson there, but were not told we had to pay for parking. They said they've put in a call and it should be taken care of.

Fine 2/3: Honestly, no idea. I used their iPhone app most times I was there, but having visited most days, I can't recall what happened here - but these two visits appear to almost overlap?

How should I respond to Fine 2/3?

Many thanks

    #1 They are not FINES!

    #2 Read the NEWBIES sticky thread.

    #3 Search this forum for Fistral ... lots of previous here. One guy even got a cheque from PE regarding this location I believe (IvorPECheque). :)

    First thing you should do is take down those PDF's too much information there.

    Do not pay, do not ignore, do not reveal who was driving, do not hang about. Read the NEWBIES thread as advised then send in your first appeal to the PPC. This will be rejected but then you make a second appeal to PoPLA which you will win as long as you follow the advice on here.


    One appeal per PCN.

    Mitigation won't work so follow the template appeal points in the NEWBIES thread.

    Just to re-iterate, they are not fines.

    Ye gods, get those PDFs redacted PDQ. PPCs read these forums.

    Thanks guys, I took them down. What is on them that I could get in trouble for sharing?

    So I'm sending the template letter with those A/B/C/D options to Parking Eye directly, initially, yeah?

    Thanks

    I didn't look at them (can't access dropbox from here), but if they still had the PCN references or other identifiable info (like your name and address, car reg etc.) then PE would be able to link this thread to you and possibly out you as the driver, which could make any appeals harder.

    (PPCs trawl this forum looking for "mugs"/victims).

    As bod has explained, PPCs monitor these boards. In addition someone could clone your number plate.


    Yes, you send the template letter with the appeal points on them as per the Sticky thread. Initial appeals are usually rejected so them you make a second appeal to PoPLA which will then win. All explained in the NEWBIES thread.

    Fines...what fines?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Yesterday I received a couple of letters from ParkingEye.

    Each was was to confirm that the charge had been cancelled and there is no outstanding payment due.

    No contest; at the first base.

    All I did was send each of the template letters.
  • PE are cottoning on to the fact that an obviously forum-aided appeal will result in them losing at POPLA, so they bail early and save themselves the cost. It's taken them a long time (and a lot of failed POPLA appeals) to realise this.
