Hi 
I received the following reply from parking eye after I sent the email:

Dear Sir / Madam,

We write further to your recent correspondence which concerned the above referenced

Parking Charge. We recently sent you a Letter Before Claim which informed you that this

Parking Charge remains outstanding and had now been processed for further action.

We note from your reply to our Letter Before Claim that you dispute the outstanding sum.

We can confirm that we have now reviewed your correspondence but it is our position

that the Parking Charge remains due.

We can confirm that £85.00 remains outstanding and that full payment is required within

the next 14 days to prevent further action. We are prepared to take legal action if

necessary and should court proceedings be issued, further costs will be incurred. These

will include, but are not limited to, the court claim issue fee and the solicitors costs referred

to within the Letter Before Claim.

Yours faithfully,

ParkingEye Team

Dear ParkingEye, 
So you are threatening to take an NHS keyworker to court because your own signs failed to draw new terms to the driver's attention, at an NHS site where you are operating in breach of the NHS Car Parking Principles?

I am sure the national press will be very interested to report about this, especially given your website says:
https://www.parkingeye.co.uk/parking-news/parkingeye-covid-19-update/

''The world is now operating in unprecedented times and we’re doing all we can to support our people, our customers and motorists during this difficult time.  A huge part of this effort is in supporting our NHS customers to ensure staff are not penalised for carrying out their duties.''

ParkingEye's press-piece goes on to say that you will cancel NHS keyworker PCNs during COViD (nice PR for you I'm sure) but yet you continue to see NHS keyworkers with older unfair PCNs as fair game and are happy to sue me.  Is that your final position? 

Your 'landmark' Beavis case has been described by consumers as an embarrassment to this country and doesn't mean you can bully NHS keyworkers into paying your firm under completely different circumstances.  In my case, you clearly lack the 'legitimate interest' excuse that caused the Supreme Court to be led the way they were taken by your chosen barrister at huge expense, so that you and the BPA could have a trophy case pour encourager les autres. 

If you pursue me in the small claims track I am ready to defend my position and I will claim my full costs for your unreasonable conduct.  I have already wasted some ten hours during lockdown on countering your harassment and will submit a detailed breakdown in my costs assessment if you fail to cancel the PCN.  I await your final response and will then take the matter to my MP, the press and the CEO of the NHS Trust.

Have you complained to your MP and/or a local or national paper, the Daily Mail takes an interest in these matters.

Hi,
I received the following reply last week from Parking Eye. 

Dear Sir / Madam,

We write regarding the above referenced Parking Charge, which concerned a breach of the parking terms and conditions on the 18 July 2019 at xxxxxxx Medical Practice, xxxxxxx, and your recent correspondence received in relation to the same.

We can confirm that we have now reviewed your recent correspondence but we maintain our position that the full amount of the Parking Charge remains outstanding and that we have been unable to reach an agreement in respect of the same via the Reply Form.

We now require full payment of the outstanding sum of £85.00 within the next 14 days or legal action will be taken. Should court proceedings be issued, further costs will be incurred. These will include, but are not limited to, the court claim issue fee and the solicitors costs referred to within the LBCCC.

Yours faithfully, ParkingEye Team

A strong attack on their signage  in court may do the trick.  Several judges have come down against it.

Thanks for your reply. Do you think they will take another reply to this just to delay this a bit more? It says, if not paid within 14 days legal action "will" be taken.

It is most likely that  they will go to court imo.

Why do you want to delay it?  Seems to me the closer you push it towards a court hearing the closer you push the other party blink first. Of course, neither party might blink, then it will be down to a Judge ..... and neither party will have an unresolved case hanging over them.  It's a game of poker now.

I would respond and ask if the Medical Practice has reviewed the matter, or have ParkingEye not bothered to ask?

Is your MP doing anything useful? I would ask Boris what he is doing about this as well since he said around the end of last year that he was going to put an end to patients and NHS being targeted at hospitals and medical facilities.

Local and national press might be interested. "Crap for the NHS" sounds like a good tabloid by-line to me.
