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

vkk

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There is no information regards whether parking fines can be termed out of date and unenforceable.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

As the charges are based on civil claims, the timeout is six years.

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 reply
