help with parking eye fines - My Dad has dementia & has been binning them

If ever there was an example of why the current  PPC business model needs shuttting down, then this is it.

As above it looks like the best option is to pay, however depending upon how much time there is i would go for the shopping centre, and tell tbem that they should pay this, as it is a direct result of then allowing scum to operate on their land.
Even if there isn't any time to drag the shopping centre management into it, I would go for them later

Thankyou all, I have emailed the land owners again, copied in our local MP's and started a petition as it has happened to lots of other disabled & elderly people.

Exactly, Mum had no idea till this arrived in the post yesterday   
He opens all the post. We live in a old post office/shop they used to run together. Think its time to buy a lockable post box. Its so sad

It is a very cruel illness and it does not discriminate.

If you can collect evidence of similar happening, you should be able to put the shopping centre owners in a very awkward position, which they very well need to be put in.

Not quite the same scenario as it was a council PCN. The MP got involved.

I'd pay the Judgment - there's only £2 difference between that and the cost of a set aside application (which I think will be difficult to have granted).  Failing with a set aside application will mean the total cost of this is then £552 - very risky in my opinion. 

As an aside, for regulars, looks like PE have now jumped on the Osner gravy train!

I not sure that's true because the OP mentioned 2 PCN's in their first post which would suggest the £170 is made up of (2 x £85). The "costs" of £107 would have included the court issue fee of £35 and probably a solicitor fee of £50 which would only leave £22 unaccounted for.

@Castle - yep, that makes sense. PE off the hook! 😄

If this is Mum's CCJ and she has a low income and low savings in her name she might well qualify for help with court fees and could either:

(a)  do a free CCJ set aside, or

(b)  pay it off and instead then do a LBC to the landowner them a (fee-free, if she qualifies) court claim for double the amount, against the landowner for breach of the Equality Act 2010.

I'd help to write (b) if you take that route. Double the amount paid to ParkingEye reflects the distress caused and could be part donated to a dementia charity when they cough up.

Based on the OP's first post, it would appear that the OP was driving and acting as a "Carer"; so, they can issue a claim themselves under the Equality Act 2010.
