Parkingeye holiday Inn Brentwood advice

Gautanga

So I got a fine from parkingeye from the Brentwood Holiday Inn. I purchased a ticket to park.. The letter doesn't even tell me why I got the fine but I spoke to holiday Inn and they told me that I overstayed my time by 49 minutes..

Is there any point to appeal it still?

Any advice appreciated.

its either pay or appeal, your choice

please read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread if you are going to appeal it, use the template as is , as keeper

you should have insisted that HOLIDAY INN cancel the pcn directly with PE, if you were a customer of theirs

System

The hotel used to arrange a cancellation. Have they not offered that?

My own experience of PE tickets at Holiday Inn (not Brentwood) were that the hotel didn't really care about their reputation being trashed by the predatory tactics of their chosen car park operator. It took a strongly worded letter pointing out all that was wrong with the charge for PE to back down (signage, no planning or advertising consent, deliberate entrapment zone with no signage).

This is a scam, write bad stuff on TripAdviser and Facebook

Complain robustly to your MP

£100 is an obscene amount for a short overstay, Council fines are a lot less than this.

Thanks. I was not actually a customer.. just met someone there that's all so if I wasn't a customer I doubt holiday Inn will cancel it for me right?

Also I'm asking if I should still appeal against it as in is there any other reason to appeal and do I have any chance to avoid paying them ?

They have not offered a cancellation. I was not actually a customer of the hotel.. I just used the car park

A strongly worded letter to who? I want to know is there any way I can still appeal it? I mean I stayed longer than I should have so it's my fault ..

I stayed longer than I should have so it's my fault ..

But has your vile deed cost them £100? If you had committed this dreadful crime in a Council car park, how much would the fine be?

It is a scam pure and simple, watch the video and complain to your MP.

For sure I agree with you.. it's crazy! But complaining to MP .. is that a practical thing to do right now to get this thing cancelled so I don't have to pay?

I mean if I complain to MP will he or she be able to help me cancel this thing quickly?
