    We all look forward to seeing the redacted response from Parking Eyr.

    We could never suggest such actions for those who come to this forum. 
    Pay 99% of parking companies and that's the last you will see of your money regardless if you tell them you pay under Duress ?

    You might take them to court but the majority will just write it off because going to court alone is stressful.  We still stick to .... "DON'T PAY BUT DO NOT IGNORE"

    Why do we say "WAIT" ....... because we know that given the millions of tickets issued, only a few go to court, otherwise the courts will be over run which would collapse the cout system.

    Even with a LBA, the threat, given the right response, they often go away. 
    The whole industry works on a bluff

    So no, we could never suggest just pay up

    If you ever get a parking ticket from another parking company, those seen on here, I wish you luck with your plan

    On reflection and with honesty a lot of motorists who get into difficulty with parking charge notices on this forum will have wished they had paid them even if they were wrongly issued. 
    Really ?? Name ten of them.
    The pen is mightier than the sword ..... and I have many pens.
  • No worries.  But as "obtuse" as you think we are, it is worth noting that this is a money saving site, it is not a money paying site

    Good luck
  • I didn't need any luck thanks, it was resolved in under 2 weeks despite advice from this forum. 

    Any Advice taken from the forum sages and I would still be in limbo awaiting an uncertain future battle. 

    I took the battle to the parking charge operator on my terms and on my timescale.

    Let's see the ParkingEye email please.

    And the usernames or links to threads of what you say is many posters who 'wished they had paid' even when the PCN was unfair, which is almost always true of cases we see here.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Come on now, it takes a while to get to grips with photoshop, especially as so many on here know what a PE email looks like and info included.

    We would all love to see it ??


  • And for the record what will this achieve , just so that we can lay out the terms beforehand. 

    That I was correct and that certain people were wrong?

    Once you pay the charge the Parking Operator knows they have achieved a hollow victory against you. The tables are then turned on them.

    You must do all the things previously mentioned on the forum. 

    Do NOT ignore the charge. Go through the appeals to POPLA just to show reasonablenous  on your part 

    Inform the Parking Charger you are paying under Duress and without prejudice. That you intend to commence action to recover the costs in the County Court and give them 7 days to consider their position. 

    I wonder what that sentence could mean.

    It means no problems I will post a redacted email. 

    But first let's clarify a few points. 

    Has this forum sunk to the depth of challenging somebody who has got a successful outcome by a means strongly advised against by the old sages. 

    Not one mention of "well done" just sour grapes 

    How sad that they imply that I may be lying. Or worse still may be a stooge planted by the parking operators. 

    So before we proceed let's establish exactly what a satisfactory posting will achieve.

    Maybe it doesn't mean what it says.  

    Perhaps we'll never know.
