Parking Eye- failed to enter reg number
Km71217
Posts: 6 Forumite
Hello wonderful people,
I Parked in a parking eye car park and normally enter my reg upon entering the village hall for a class. I was running late and must have forgotten to do so. I was there an hour and 15 minutes and according to the fine I am applicable for the charge as I did not enter my reg. Do I have any grounds to contest this or shall I chalk it up and pay???
Thank you in advance.
Katy

It's worth writing to the council to try to get the fine rescinded. I had an incident where the parking ticket was not visible in the windscreen but I was able to produce the parking ticket and the receipt for the credit card payment for it and the council then accepted that I had paid and agreed not to enforce the fine. I agree that is not exactly your situation but I hope it gives you some hope.0

If it's Parking Eye then it's nothing to do with the council and it's certainly not a "fine".What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0

A court of law is unlikely to consider that a very common human error such as this constitutes a breach of contract. Indeed they might consider that PE ate employing an unfair term in a consumer contract, and/or attempting to impose n unlawful penalty.
There are two thing I would do.
Report the matter in writing to Trading Standards.
Refer PE to Arkell v Pressdram.

It is parking eye. I have spoken to the manager of the village hall who says it's out of their hands. I have evidence I was at a class in that time.0

Ask him in whose hands is it in. Who signed the contract with PE?
If this is council-owned land there are issues to deal with when bringing in a private parking company.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

I did ask him if he could let me know the land owner and he refused.0

How unhelpful is that? Can you report him to someone? Fire off a complaint in their direction.I did ask him if he could let me know the land owner and he refused.
Time to do some digging. Contact the local authority planning office, the local Valuation Office (their website sometimes has a search function that might help you). Use Google. For 3 or 4 pounds you will get a definitive answer from the Land Registry.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum.
