Parking Eye

Re: Parking Eye

Hi. I received a parking fine from the company parking eye too. When I received the first letter a friend told me to just ignore it and after some research on the internet I found the same advice. I followed this advice and ignored the letter and then received a few follow up letters from parking eye themselves and then also 2 letters from a debt recovery firm. The last letter from the debt recovery firm stated 'notice of intended court action- unpaid parking charge', and said 'to prevent the case being passed to the creditor's solicitor to commence court proceedings, you must pay the full amount...' What you advice would be on this please?

Thanks,
Sophie.

Is the registered keeper the driver ?

If yes post up the letter minus personal details. If not send the driver name and address to them as this stops keeper liability in it's tracks and the driver starts afresh and can appeal and, if needed, go to popla.

Re: Parking Eye

Yeah, I am the driver and the keeper, no other people drive my car.

I live in Wales, where the 'offence' took place, and then I've come back to stay with my parents for Christmas in England, I'm wondering what they'll be able to do to chase me up once I go back to Wales...

Send a few letters then perhaps take you to court. Taking someone to court doesn't guarantee them a win though. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/...4&postcount=65

Re: Parking Eye

I'm wondering what to do about this £85 parking charge where I genuinely am in violation of the terms they set out?
I stayed over the 2 hour limit in a retail car park, but didn't receieve the letter as it was delivered to my mum's house that I had moved out of.
By the time I read the letter, there were two others accompanying it, and I nearly paid until I gave the company a quick google. That was me sated, I wasn't going to pay it.
But then 2 days ago I got a fourth letter warning me about how they'll be taking me to county court, which WILL incur AT LEAST £50 in solicitor's costs and £15 in court claim issue fees.

So, the long and short, they seem to be getting pretty serious about this now, and I am in violation of their terms. Should I give in and pay the £85?

Their terms have no statutory backing and generally are not contractual terms of an significant force.

You can pay if you can't be bothered to fight or you can fight although you must realise that you may lose even though you shouldn't.

Re: Parking Eye

I appealed and they made it unsuccessful, then I appealed to POPLA and I won and saved £100.


I won on the basis that their losses did not justify their charge of the £100......fight fight fight but your reasons have to be right.....read the POPLA site thoroughly. POPLA are great. A light of reason in the darkened and greedy world of parking.... Gud luck. :-).


A proud fighter...

Re: Parking Eye

The penny may have dropped. Mitigation being the reason- they dont care about the mitigating circumstances. "Thats what a genuine pre estimate of loss is for"- meaning, you use this argument in your case because its a valid point, and not just a mere mitigating circumstance, which carries little weight.
I think i understand, (it only took 20min on google lol)
thanks

Re: Parking Eye

It means don't tell them why because they don't care.

You need technical arguments to win. See http://www.legalbeagles.info/forums/...-Appeal-Letter

Re: Parking Eye

Mitigation, at a guess. They don't give a rats ass if you have a reason/excuse. That's what genuine pre estimate of loss is for.

Re: Parking Eye

POPLA refused because they said we were issued a ticket. I don't think they have looked into the case as there wasn't an apparent reason.

Re: Parking Eye

And the faulty machine - which made payment impossible - would not have been considered at all?

Nope.
