Help needed - Judgement for Claimant (in default) from Parking Eye

Rob_E

Good Evening all,

I'm after some advice. I was recently issued a claim form from a failed disputed parking charge issued by Parking Eye earlier this year (19th may 2016).

I forgot to respond to the claim form which asks me to pay £175 and have now been issued a Judgement for Claimant (in default) letter. I'm confused because this Judgement states I must pay £197 which does not match the £175 originally stated on the claim form. Is this correct or an error on court/solicitors behalf?

What should I do? I intend on paying up...its my own fault for letting the dispute slip. I do not have the time or the energy to fight it.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks,
Rob

Could be either. Interest ? Costs ?

Only 2 ways you can find out for sure are to ask PE or the court.

Thanks, I'll give them a ring in the morning

Once this is all over and the relief gives way to some underlying anger about the unfairness, would you be able to send copies of this series of paperwork to your MP and Mrs May, to show them more evidence of the parasitical disease of private parking firms. It's an 'industry' that many people think is now hugely out of control, giving in to greed and attacking ordinary people's credit. Here's what we encourage victims to do:

It is high time this never happened to people, it is inexcusable that you should be pestered by this fat cat Capita-owned firm, dragged to court by a third party who provided no product nor service to you whatsoever and with whom you had no 'account' nor any agreed contract as understood by the man in the street (or car park).

If anyone from a parking firm is reading this, most here would feel I'm sure, that you should hang your head in shame at the practice akin to a 'protection racket' that you support.
