Parking eye!

almamatters

Hi everyone,

We have an Aldi who's car park is 'run' by parking eye. It's council land etc. The car park is free (you put your registration into a terminal). I did this and assumed I'd abided by the rules. However it would seem the rules have changed.

The car park was always a 90 minute stay. This has been sneakily changed to an hour. This particular day I parked for...61 minutes.

I have been sent a letter demanding £70 for staying over by a minute. :mad:

The signage in the car park is there but incredibly high up (top of a lamppost) and I had no idea the times had changed.

I am not paying £70 for a minute and plan on contesting.

I've looked through other threads but I'm totally confused as to where I should start...I was wondering if someone could offer some advice?

Thanks!

Alma

Start by having a good careful read of the Newbies Sticky at the top of this forum - it will lay-out the full procedure for dealing with Parking Eye.

as the car park is operated by ANPR , what happened to the grace period(s)


google BPA grace periods


this is presuming you entered your details at the terminal correctly ? , did you?

Why is it confusing when a thread at the top is called '**NEWBIES!! PRIVATE PARKING TICKET? OLD OR NEW? **READ THESE FAQS FIRST!**' and when you read that one first, you find your first appeal already written for you?

Serious question.

Unless people are looking at forums on phones (DON'T!!) I do not understand why the first step is considered confusing. Do not write ''This particular day I parked for...61 minutes'' in your appeal; do not say who parked!

This has been sneakily changed to an hour. This particular day I parked for...61 minutes.

This will NOT be about a one minute overstay. It will be about not putting your VRN into a keypad in-store, I expect. Loads of Aldi cases here, search 'Aldi keypad ParkingEye' as the obvious keywords to learn more from other threads.
