Parking eye v My Daughter - Northampton CCBC

[Gary_M]

Hi, I'm new here and would GREATLY appreciate some advice.

My Daughter (I think) parked her car on a Parking Eye controlled site on the 5th of Sept 2013 and overstayed according to the paperwork by 20 minutes.

She has been receiving mail since she visited in May last year, but due to a fall out between us, I have not seen her since that time, and she has since moved into a house share that I do not have the address of. Her car must still be registered at my address.

I had not opened any of her mail until Friday last week, when a letter arrived for her that clearly had "defendant" displayed in the envelope window - so I panicked and opened it to find a claim form from Northampton County Court re a parking dispute with Parkingeye LTD.

I've since opened the rest of her letters and found the initial fine with a picture of the car and possibly my daughter. I say possibly because when I last saw her in May she had long hair, and the picture shows someone with a short, boyish hair cut.

Parkingeye are now demanding £150 through the court under Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012.

I don't mind paying this for her, but am I allowed to? She is only a student and can't really afford to run a car, let alone pay this fine!!

Again - any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!! :tinysmile_twink_t2: :tinysmile_twink_t2: :tinysmile_twink_t2:

Many Thanks

Gary

Post everything up removing personal info.

You should also contact your daughter as it's her claim to deal with despite you not forwarding her mail.

You can pay and they'll gladly take your money but paying £150 to them would stick in my craw. If a defence is entered they are normally open to negotiation and you should be able to get away from it for £50 without much hassle.
