    Do you mean a bit like that ParkingEye -v- Barry Beavis case? OK, got that one!


    Barry Beavis, wasn't he the bloke who overstayed by 50 minutes and ignored all subsequent correspondence from the PPC? Sorry, I do not see the connection.

    I think you've already provided the connection:
    the word of a disreputable scammer against a fine upstanding member of the public.

    He was delayed from returning to his car by a breakdown of machinery in ProntaPrint, a retailer of the said car park, where he was waiting for some marketing material to be printed.

    Or are you saying that anyone who ignores a 'disreputable scammer's' correspondence is not a 'fine upstanding member of the public'?

    Or is it that Barry Beavis is but a mere chip shop owner? :)

    They wouldn't have a leg to stand on if they were foolish enough to take this to court. The system is designed to fail to ParkingEye's advantage, any judge would see that.

    I agree with Dazter, the Muppets have already agreed that the OP did pay but seem to want £20 towards their admin costs to confirm this.

    If they want to put in technology that is prone to human error for whatever reason, when that happens and a motorist has paid in full they should accept it. In theory that's exactly what the first stage appeal is for mitigation.

    Of course in Greed Land as we know it's different.
