Parking Eye 'Parking Charge'

[lylalooloo]

ahhhh, PARKING EYE is so frustrating... I have just received a second letter (never received the first) from Parking Eye detailing that i must pay a parking charge..when I googled them, i have found so many forums saying IGNORE them! However, I notice that some recent posts are suggesting that you could go to court?? Is this penalty charge enforceable? Should I ignore or should I just pay now before the fine goes up? I, like many others was sitting in my car whilst I waited for someone..seems highly unfair???!!!!! Help.. I am a little scared!

Parking Eye are taking people to court these days in fairly large numbers. Having said that the majority of these are still to be decided and of those that parking eye are gloating about nearly all are suspected to be default judgements where no defence was entered.

Whilst standard advice is that these penalties are unenforceable only a judge can actually decide this.

Your case largely depends on the circumstances. Where are you in the letter chain ? Is the driver or registered keeper being chased ? Who owns the car park ? etc etc.

It may be that you can take action to avoid court but from what you put so far i can only say you should win if it gets to court.

Start your own thread.

Phone northampton and see if it's a scare tactic or a genuine claim.

Does the claim form have a court stamp on it? If it does not, contact Northampton CCBC immediately to establish its veracity. If they confirm no claim has been registered, report the matter to the police asap. It is a criminal offence to pretend to be acting under the authority of a court, which is what sending someone a claim with no court stamp on it amounts to (Section 135, County Courts Act 1984).
