Statute of limitation on parking fines? received letter quoting Parking Eye v Beavis

Posts: 1 Newbie
Hi There,
There is no information regards whether parking fines can be termed out of date and unenforceable.
I parked (coming back from dad's funeral) for a few hours overnight in welcome break car park.
Date 4/dec/2014
Parking eye sent letters, I replied offering 15 to cover their losses.
No reply until today. letter dated 4th dec (stating the Parking eye v Beavis case) I received the letter today (9th Dec ) from equita debt recovery.
Is this enforceable as its over/ exactly 12 months?
I assume lots of people are going to get letters now, like me, passing their debt to bailiff companies and quoting the new law??
Please advise

Contact Welcome Break , explain the situation re the funeral and ask them if they will call their packdogs off out of compassion . Explain you offered to pay any tariff that you didnt realise was necessary as understandably other things were on your mind . Parking Eye obviously would not accept it because they didn't even give you the courtesy of a reply0
