    Matt, please ignore some of the more aggressive posters on here - they're !!!!!!. Now you have been ordered to pay, you will have to work it in your favour. Write a cheque for £4.50 to Parking Eye explaining that it is all you can afford at the minute and propose to pay in monthly instalments. That way you haven't refused to pay. Then after 3 months stop and see what happens. When PE contact you again, re start but claim that you are skint and have to pay in instalments. Then after 4 months stop. PE will have to take you back to court and prove you cannot afford the full amount. Even benefit fiddlers have the opportunity to pay back in instalments. So even the law is reasonable on this. In the meantime pay off £50.00. That way the judge will see you have been making an effort. And you can have an opportunity to say you are destitute and can only afford £1 a month. They cannot get blood out of a stone. I would seriously spend the next 5 years messing PE about if it was me. Now, sit back and watch the 'informed' on here shoot me down in flames. In the meantime good luck!

    Matt has already said that £200 is not a problem and would imagine he would not go through your suggestion. Please remember that PE would ask for a statement of income,
    PE are a disgusting company so will instruct bailiffs if not paid and that means taking away anything (s) that will cover the debt.
    The answer is now in Matt's hand

    Aberdeen Tyke that's terrible advice.

    IMHO, if you lose against PE in court, you really must just pay to avoid a CCJ.

    Then maybe consider suing the retailer if you feel you have grounds (e.g. if they delayed the driver and caused it and because PE are their agent for whom they are liable - and the victim will have been caused loss so there could be a cause of action). Or if there's evidence of disability discrimination by failure to make reasonable adjustments, people can get their revenge that way in court if they want to try a formal complaint to the landowner/retailer. Threaten to sue them and making a big fuss on Facebook etc., to try to make the retailer reimburse you.

    That also has the desired effect of annoying the landowner/retailer and making them realise how their customers feel about this scum company. EVERYONE should be complaining to the landowners who contract these moneygrabbing gits.

    Scumbag firms which sue or threaten to sue, innocent people for ridiculous trumped up reasons and act like some sort of bullyboy megalomaniac, deserve nothing good in life. What goes around, comes around. PLONK.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
