Parking Eye advice

midlandsbuyer70

Hello, I have received a parking eye letter threatening court action if I do not pay the £100 penalty.

The car park in question is shared by 4 separate parties, a bingo hall, a pub, a food supermarket and a car dealership.

The initial letter stated that I was parked in the bingo car park yet I was in the pub meeting friends. I ignored the letter (rightly or wrongly) and they sent further notice to say that the fine had risen to £100 from £60.

I spoke to the manager of the pub 2 weeks ago and he said he would sort things out and took the parking eye letter from me and placed it with some others.

Today I received the threatening letter from PE stating I need to pay the fine or fill out one of a few reasons/options within 30 days or I'll be taken to court.

I'm not sure what the best plan of action is as the car park is shared, the signs are not very clear especially in the evening which is when I stopped to visit friends, the manager of the pub said not to worry as he will sort things out?

ANY help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
