Well done Ralph-y (or should that be Alc-y)

and as a bonus received 4 beers and a nice merlot

DPA issues are starting to be explored on the forums - an interesting approach in fighting back. Have you seen Pranky's blog from yesterday?

http://parking-prankster.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/smart-parking-settle-out-of-court-for.html

Even though the motorist settled for £275, £750 seems to be the advised level of compensation in such cases.

I think I'd wait and see how all this plays out and if successful cases emerge over the coming weeks before diving in. Don't forget, just like it is for PPCs in pursuing a claim, the motorist too has 6 years to issue court proceedings.

And revenge is often a dish best served cold!

Hi all

I have today received a letter from parking eye for this same car park on seel street Liverpool and the letter does not seem very legit after googling it I am not sure what to do now, I parked there from midnight - half 1 , my friend parked there a lot previously round these hours and has never had a ticket ! I wasn't aware this car park charged at this sort of time? Can anyone advise

Thanks
Rebecca

Welcome Rebecca.

Start your own new thread on the first page, after reading the sticky thread 'NEWBIES PLEASE READ THESE FAQS FIRST'.

The signage only has a tariff from 6pm to 8am. Parking eye clock you 24 hours and state on their PCN that a charge is liable if you ' fail to make the appropriate tariff payment'. How is the motorist to decide what is appropriate tariff from 8am onwards if it is not displayed on the signs. Further, how is a motorist to pay, if for example he comes back after attendant has gone. He cannot pay the ,now missing ,attendant for the time he has spent parking from 8am, and the parking machine only accepts payment for time spent after 6pm. Do the terms and conditions apply only between the hours above as shown on the signs and if so why are they using ANPR 24 hours. Could you not use the fact that there is no mechanism in place for a motorist to eg pay for parking from say 8am to 8pm as a defence.

Yes, as part of any defence.

But this is a really old thread by our standards, we have 40-odd new/updated posts here every day. If you have an unfair PCN to defend, see my signature, click back to page one and read today's threads.

Hi, I watched the videos and read the sections: Help Etiquette and Rules but am still unsure how one goes about the mechanics of posting. I replied to old thread as I have seen many people starting new threads only to be told that a thread already exists. Should I not search for what I think is a related thread and post there regardless of its age ie keeping things on topic so to speak? Is the problem that I risk being ignored in a thread that has not seen any postings in a long time? It's still a learning curve for me:o:(

I have seen many people starting new threads only to be told that a thread already exists.

This will be where posters already have an existing thread running, yet insist on opening a new thread for every question they have relating to their original case.

No, because things change so rapidly in this game. If you join an old thread, what's to stop another half a dozen randoms joining in the same thread seeking assistance with their parking charge cases, possibly all at different stages, from initial appeal stage to dealing with others wanting advice on pre-court Witness Statements and Skeleton Arguments? Who knows who the different advices will relate to. A recipe for a total mess!

Is the problem that I risk being ignored in a thread that has not seen any postings in a long time?

You'll be asked politely to start your own thread. If you continue to post on another poster's thread, there is a real likelihood of being ignored. We have so many cases to deal with, if posters ignore polite requests/advice, they can hardly complain if the 'compliment' is returned!
