Parking Eye Appeal Refused, now POPLA

FFairy

A further letter has now been received (dated 10 Oct, received 14 Oct) from ParkingEye, entitled Letter Before County Court Claim. It gives 14 days to pay £100.

I am unsure whether it is safe to ignore, but a read of the recent sticky and similar sounding cases etc suggests ParkingEye do not let the matter go and will continue to chase to court level. Would be very grateful for advice, as this has bee hanging over the keepers head since April 2015...

had you have said WH were doing the appeal , we could have told you the outcome


they have simply not read the BPA code of conduct


13 Grace periods
13.1 Your approach to parking management must allow a
driver who enters your car park but decides not to park,
to leave the car park within a reasonable period without
having their vehicle issued with a parking charge notice.
13.2 You should allow the driver a reasonable ‘grace period’
in which to decide if they are going to stay or go. If the
driver is on your land without permission you should still
allow them a grace period to read your signs and leave
before you take enforcement action.
13.3 You should be prepared to tell us the specific grace period
at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is.
13.4 You should allow the driver a reasonable period to leave
the private car park after the parking contract has ended,
before you take enforcement action.


as your time PARKED was less than the time shown on the ANPR cameras , you have simply used the grace period that you are allowed

Pakring eye will not let go, you must complain to the landowner now.
From hwta i understand its possible to have the landowner joined to the claim, so that any costs that you incur will have to be paid for by the landowner

Many thanks for the quick replies, I had no idea WH were doing the POPLA appeal, the POPLA appeal letter suggested an assessor would look at the case and reply. I only became aware once the POPLA response was received with the WH name on.

The keeper wants an end to the matter and I simply have no time to continue researching/appealing and chasing this up. If, as I understand, PE are so litigious and use so many bullying tactics, we have no wish to go before court if that is now likely. Therefore I think it may be best to pay up and end it for all.

Unless the landowner will cancel it...which if it's retail, MANY WILL.
