Parking Eye

Re: Parking Eye

I parked in a free car park, with a disabled badge, and overstayed by 20 minutes.
I have my first parking charge notice. Can they issue these charges on a FREE carpark?

Re: Parking Eye

I expect there'll be more activity on this subject very soon after the boxing day sales, loads of folk parked up for hours waiting for the stores to open in order to grab the best bargain.
I bet they didn't bargain on PE having a bonanza time sending out statements to them..

Bet you won't see many ending up in court though! :santa2:

Re: Parking Eye

Hi guys, i have received a parking charge notice saying to pay £100 in 28 days reduced to £60 if payed within 14 days after pulling into a motorway service area and fell asleep in my car. After seeing various posts on various websites, do i have to pay this?

Have a read of the relevant bit of this - you shoul then have all the facts necessary to make a decision. FWIW, the common decision on here at present seems to be to ignore totally. I'm not aware yet of anyone who has used the ppeals process:

Thanks for the advice

Re: Parking Eye

Thank you very much and I will take your advice, best wishes

Remember they do occasionally send you letters where they have had their Red Crayons out or from a "supposed" Solicitor. Again do not respond but ignore.

Re: Parking Eye

It is, in as much as the Protection of Freedoms Act doesn't apply in Scotland, so they can't chase4 the registered owner if they don't know who the driver is.

Anyway, regardless of that, save your £85 (£50), just ignore them and enjoy Christmas.

Re: Parking Eye

Nothing new based on what I have read here, however as a single person with not a lot of disposable income I could really do with advice on what to do with my Parking Eye, "Parking Notice"!!! I have been charged £85 (£50) if I pay it by tomorrow, for being in Morrison's car park in Falkirk over the 3hr free car parking, though I did return to my car within the three hours then chose to go and do some shopping and have lunch within the store on my return. My Parking Charge Notice has photos of my car entering and leaving the car park with the date and times...what should I do and is the law different in Scotland???

Re: Parking Eye

I've had a couple from UKCPS. The last one I got, I asked him if it was a Penalty Charge Notice or a Parking Charge Notice. When he replied it was a Parking Charge I said, 'That's good, I don't have to pay that then!' and handed my ticket back to him. He took it foolishly, then said I don't want this, it's yours. I told him I wasn't accepting it, and if he dropped it he could be caught on camera littering and receive a fine! lol

NOT to be advised at all.

For anoyone who wants to do a good deed though, these are excellent:

Re: Parking Eye

Nor, I would imagine, when they have no right to demand the money. If I sent you an invoice you wouldn't pay it. It is only the same, but people don't see it like that.

A friend of mine has just walked in the office having collected several threatening and unpleasant letters from UKCPS from Exeter, another firm along the lines of ParkingEye, a quick read of this forum has put her mind as rest, UKCPS are notorious and quite well documented on this consumer site http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...om-UKCPS-%A375!
I'm just wondering how many people do actualy pay their "fines" to keep these firms solvent?

Re: Parking Eye

I see PE are taking over my home town (Barrow-in-Furness), over the past couple of weeks they've put camera's and signs up on nearly all the retail parks.

They're like a damn disease !!!

That's because, like most PPCs, they go around convincing retail park operators they have a problem with parking when, in fact, they don't.

Re: Parking Eye

Personally, I have no problems with having to pay for something with reason but definitely not for extortion!.
