Parking Eye fine

We have a parking fine from Parking Eye with letters now reaching County Court Claim. This was from a hospital car park - we have sent 2 appeal letters and have the parking ticket which fell short of the time as the car park notice instructions were - we discovered later - for 2 hours £2 or 4 hours £4 - we paid £3 and stayed 2hrs 45 (mother had been rushed into hospital). The fine is £70 and we have had no acknowledgement of appeal letters.

Do we ignore this as we have appealed and they are ignoring these letters. How do we stand legally - this was Sunderland general hospital.

    It is not a fine.

    Complain to the BPA and DVLA that Parking Lie didn't reply to the appeals.

    The NEWBIES tells you how to appeal, and if you are at court stage, post 2 of the NEWBIES tells you how to deal with that as well in a step by step guide by a poster called bargepole.

    Complain to PALS and your MP about this unregulated scam.

    No you do not ignore or they will get a default judgement against you, this is now real, though it is not and never was a "fine"!


    Unfortunately you tried to apply logic and fair play to a scam and lost the argument, you will now either have to pay up or defend in the SCC.


    It's explained in the newbies thread at the top of the forum.


    Then come back for assistance.
