Parking charge notice by parking eye
Comments

Hello,
I have been following this thread because I too have received a notice from Parking Eye. It is for £100, discounted to £60 if I pay by 21 May, for going 11 minutes over the 2 hours free parking time. I have read about how to appeal etc but wanted to clarify one thing: If I appeal, that will obviously take me past the 21 May discount deadline, so if I lose the appeal, will I then have to pay the full £100?
Also, I understand that following the recent failure of an appeal by Beavis, the defence of 'genuine pre-estimate of loss' having to be proved may no longer apply?
Thanks0 -

Parking Eye will generally cancel an invoice if you prove that over a certain threshold was spent in the stores (I think it's normally around £30).
Stick a line in the appeal that "the driver" was a genuine customer of the site, spending £xyz, redacted receipts attached.
I'd also reference the judgement about parking Vs finding spaces, and point out that since you are aware of roadwords in the area and an increased time spending enterring/exiting, you require proof that the vehicle in question was "parked" for more than the required time, and not just on the site.
They can't prove it, because they only use ANPR on the exits, but they'll probably reject it anyway and make you use it with POPLA.
Hi,
I have receipts from two store both are under £10 spend. Would this help?
I haven't been to the stores yet as I thought they would refer me to landowner, parking eye etc.
Would it be a good idea to visit them?0 -
Store receipts can help because there's an undocumented process whereby receipts of £30 or more will tend to yield a PCN cancellation with Parking Eye.
If you DO have store receipts then I'd suggest the following tweak:
You may note that I've dropped the "rant" paragraph, and added point f.

only PE will tell you if it helps, but it definitely wont HINDER the appeal , so yes add copies to prove patronage of the retailers on site
yes the stores may try to wriggle out of it, but if you dont ask, you dont get !!
so either visit them or contact their head office, bearing in mind they may not be the landowner but should know who manages or owns the site if they pay rent
did it help here ???????????????????????????

Have contacted wilko with no joy. asked to speak with parking eye as suspected.
Also trying to do appeal online on Parking eye website but cannot as below error keep coming:The field Reason for Appeal must be a string with a maximum length of 3000.
Have removed all paragraphy breakdown, introduction and ending lines etc. without removing actual appeal but still no go.
Has any same problem?0 -
Attach your appeal as a Word file. Put the main bullet points in the appeal dialogue box and then cross-reference to the attachment 'See attached file containing full appeal' (or words to that effect).Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

Better yet, make the attachment a PDF. (Harder for them to doctor - not that they'd ever consider doing something like that).0

use a cut down version of the template in the online box, then say
SEE ATTACHED FULL APPEAL
then attach as a word doc or better still, a pdf, as mentioned above0 -
Thankyou all, have sent it.
Will update the outcome.0
