Need help with Parking Eye

Cherry_white

Hi everyone. Basically I’m a plumber who has been working on a new gym on a retail park. Said retail park is only 2 hours parking which of course I’ve been over as I’ve been working on this for full days. After having received fines from parking eye, I had passed them all on to the main builder who said would pass them on to the gym manager who said would sort it out for me. Clearly nothing has been sorted for me as I’ve now received a letter off dcbl demanding £340 in fines. I rang them up for them to tell me it’s too late to appeal now, I can’t even find a number to speak to parking eye them selves just an automated payment number. I don’t know what to do but I can’t pay £340.

Here is the letter I’ve received 2 of these

When you read the NEWBIE sticky - PLEASE read these first - did the fourth post about debt collectors help you?

It's a debt collector letter which you ignore. The debt collector is not a party to the contract you allegedly breached with the unregulated private parking company. Whilst the food chain you've escalated this through to the landowner (the Gym?) is fobbing you off as there is no reason whatsoever that this cannot be cancelled. Ask the top of the food chain who is the Monkey and who is the Organ Grinder in their contractual relationship.

You could try and contact the Gym yourself and also complain to your MP. Don't contact DCBL.

As they are saying that you are now at the useless debt collector stage, wait until you receive an LBCCC/LoC and then follow up as per the Newbies/FAQ thread.

Interesting that PE have now started using DCBL with the false added £70 debt recovery fee. Something is rotten rotten in Denmark methinks.

As above, you have not received a fine though it's a speculative invoice, do not phone a PPC or a debt collector it will not help you and may make things much worse.

As Le_Kirk has said read the newbies thread, ignore debt collectors you have no debt.

You are in luck, Parking Eye are the most litigious of all PPC's but if they farm their made up charges out to debt collection it usually means they cannot take to court for what ever reason so try silly tactics with useless debt collectors.

Hi all thanks for replies, sorry about the post I didn’t read the newbies thread first. I have already rang the debt collector company now has this made things more complicated for me? They’re threatening to take me to court on the letter.

Makes no difference but stop taking the bait.

Get the RETAIL PARK AGENTS to cancel it immediately.  They can just email ParkingEye.

The Retail Park might have a website with a phone number, or the managing agents contact details might be on an entrance plinth/large colourful welcome sign (not ParkingEye's sign!).

Do this to stop a court claim. DO NOT PAY.

A debt collector cannot take you to court, they lie, you have read their letter wrong read the last paragraph again, they try to confuse you on purpose.

Looks like Savills are the Managing Agents.
