Help "SUMMONS"

consLR

Hi, after ignoring previous letters I have received few days ago a letter with "Summons" word on a yellow/orange box if that not paid in 72 hours they will instruct solicitors, not saying that the letter was received after those 72 hours.
The company looks to be eyeparking.
The letters was send to registered keeper as they don't have the details of the driver ( a different person) , the incident happened at a local Starbucks , the car was parked there for 5-6 minutes without to use the Venu.

Could it be ParkingEye?  Did it really say summons?  Do you still have the letters you "ignored"?  Very silly to do that.  If you do have the letters, where did the alleged infringement take place?  What sort of car park?

Have they actually used the word summons?  If so read what their COP says about misrepresentation of authoruty.  Read this,

I have received few days ago a letter with "Summons" word on a yellow/orange box.

This will be CIS/TNC and needs reporting to Gemma Dorans at the BPA who is already aware of it:

AND - get ANGRY and GET EVEN about this scam!   Please now make a real difference:

A TASK FOR SEPTEMBER:

The Government is (this month only) consulting about a new statutory code of practice (CoP) and framework to rein in the rogue parking firms.  Read and comment on the draft CoP proposal and the enforcement framework consultation, and get everyone you know to do the same.

You will need to register to comment on the CoP and enter an occupation even if you are retired or a homemaker, but otherwise it is easy to navigate, and comment upon each section/subsection individually. You can save comments to edit later and or submit comments once you are happy with them.

https://standardsdevelopment.bsigroup.com/projects/2020-00193#/section

You do not need to register to comment on the enforcement framework which can be found here. It has a link on page 5 to make comments.

At the very least, we say the parking charge level should be £50/£25 or higher level £70/£35, as per Council PCNs in E&W.  

And we say the added fake 'debt recovery' costs are just double counting the cost of letters, and MUST GO because that is unfair and illegal.

Please be heard.  You can bet the hundreds of PPCs will be commenting.

No apologies for repeating this vital 'call for action' to consumers, on every thread this month!
