    Parking Lie makes an absurd suggestion that the motorist has the
    obligation to prove by evidential submission that this was not two separate visits, a preposterous attempt to reverse the burden of proof.

    Save that bit just in case the scammers try court, but hopefully it won't get that far if the event organisers get it cancelled.

    ***£1 CAR PARKING AT THIS EVENT***
    Please purchase your £1 Car Parking Ticket at
    The Over 30's Reception on Arrival. We will
    require your car registration to extend your
    reduced car parking for the evening.
    *HAVE YOU RECEIVED A PARKING FINE?*
    Don't worry... Contact us at:
    info@indulgence-events.com with your fine
    reference, address, name and reg and we will
    get this reversed for you!


    Isn't it a sad indictment of this bloody industry that an EVENTS company has to add that?

    Of course get them to cancel it and make sure your get email confirmation. Trouble is, you've wasted a POPLA appeal in the meantime and flippin' ParkingEye will whinge this has cost them £27. You should have complained earlier and should have researched how to win this POPLA appeal, so I am concerned that you need to be more robust and quash this one.

    Certainly email that Events firm but beware of what I said above, you did this back to front.

    You should also email enforcement@parkingeye.co.uk and TELL them this was a double visit situation (dropping off a person for the event, then picking them up later) and that if they try a small claim, you will counter-claim for a breach of the Data Protection Act, in misusing your data and not correctly dealing with the data they undoubtedly do have on the system. Demand that they revisit the data of that VRN and find the fact the car left then returned and only spent mere minutes there, each time, not parked, but dropping off and picking up.

    Tell them you have complained to the Hotel and to the Events company and will also complain to the Information Commissioner and the BPA and DVLA, if this unfair charge not cancelled within seven days.

    Do exactly as I told you in post #13. This LBCCC was bound to come if you haven't yet acted assertively or proactively enough and forced the Enforcement Team to sit up and take notice and cancel (no please/thankyou, really assertive).

    That 'team' are not the same people who do the appeals, so you MUST push this to the Enforcement email address NOW. Imagine you are writing to someone who doesn't know anything about it, but who isn't a nice person/does not care about any customer service ethic (only a scammer after your money) and you will tone it right, IMHO.

    Reply back if they reply, email tennis till you win the argument. Do NOT let them have the last word or you will sleepwalk into a court claim.

    I know these can be cancelled at LBCCC stage, I've done that every time I have tried.
