Hi All,


I've had a very similar case with Euro Car Parks from October 2017 - who have referred it to DRP - now 3 letters in. The latest offering me a discount from £160 to £136 as a Final settlement before Court.


They are saying 'I left site' - which I didn't. Plus I was also well within the 2 hours stay that's plastered on their signage in the Car Park.


Seems clear cut from what I've been reading alot on various Forums and it seems that they are just threats.....


Has anyone ever been taken to Court for similar ???


Equally - a friend of mine has received a DRP letter recently for an overstay by 10mins in different Car Park. This time they have photographic evidence so different circumstances.


Thoughts on both please ???


Thanks in advance......

Yes have a read of this, http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=16231 then read the newbies thread on here, then start your own thread please.

ok many many thanks again for the advice.

Last question:

Should I snail mail an appeal letter ( as per template on this forum) to Euro Car Parks, regardless of the fact that they have said I am now outside the appeals period?

Or just wait for the court claim and take it from there?

thanks

No point, you are outside of the appeal stage, they will
not want to know

You just site and wait, it may never happen

Personally I would appeal anyway. That way if it got to court you could show that you were reasonable and tried to resolve this.

When you complain to the landowner, tell them this.

These are some of the comments, the actual words used by MPs concerning the unregulated parking industry last Friday in parliament.

Cowboy companies, signage deliberately confusing to ensure a PCN is issued, rogue parking companies, bloodsuckers, absolute disgrace, rogue operators, unfair charges and notices, wilfully misleading, signage is a deliberate act to deceive or mislead, unreasonable, designed to trap innocent drivers, a curse, harassing, operating in a disgusting way, appeals service is no guarantee of a fair hearing, loathed, outrageous scam, dodgy practice, outrageous abuse, unscrupulous practices, the BPA is as much use as a multi-storey car park in the Gobi desert.


Complain to your MP as well.

What do the signs say in the garage ????

From the OP:-

I saw absolutely no signage regarding a time limit (or any other parking related stuff).

Coupon-mad

So what do I do now? Continue to push Euro Car Parks to drop the fine? Make an appeal direct to DRP? Or just wait until DRP take it to court??

Or just wait for the court claim and take it from there?

Calm down! An ECP Court claim, LOL...and pigs might fly.

ECP never sue anyone, and DRP can't. Read the NEWBIES thread and sit on your hands.

OK many thanks for all the advice on this.

I urge you to keep up the good work on this forum.

As with anyone with a family and / or other commitments to meet, getting a bill for £160 out of the blue is very stressfull indeed.

Driving past an unseen sign is surely no way to enter a 'legal' contract. Seems to me like a simple way for these companies to legaly obtain your address from your number plate in order to bully you into giving them money.

I feel sorry for all those stressed out, vulnerable, people who simply pay up out of fear.

As I say - keep up the good work fighting this scam!!

We all agree bobby

With regards to DRP, they are the lowest of the low
pond life and behave like a rabid dog.

We say ignore these idiots but for those who like
to play games with droids, there are plenty of things
people can do with their waste of paper

You now understand and you can help by telling your friends
about these vermin .... just pass it on

In close second place of course are the disgraceful solicitors
who are on some sort of funny stuff with the habit
of wasting a courts time?

It's all been noticed by government and we will not stop
until the scam is taken down
