Hi there. Im new to this forum & have a question about a ticket I received after parking for a few hours more than what I should of at an Aldi car park. I was in a rush on the way to a meeting so didnt notice the parking eye signs until I returned to the car a few hours later than the allowed time. Sure enough I had a letter in the post with a fee of £70 but reduced to £40 if I paid within 14 days. I have now received a reminder letter about the discounted price of £40. After reading through a lot of the threads it seems I should just ignore the letters? Im sorry to ask the same question as everyone else but is that the case? Should I just ignore, ignore, ignore??? Thank you

Re: Parking Eye tickets
Hi, and welcome to LB. I'm glad you did ask, cos the answer is a very definite no! Do not just ignore, ignore, ignore.
Write an appeal to Parking Eye, very short.
Dear Sir,
Re: Ticket No. abcd1234
I wish to appeal the above ticket because I did not see the signs.
Please cancel the ticket. Should you decide not to uphold my appeal, please supply me with a POPLA code in order that I can appeal to them.
Yours faithfully,
Your appeal will be rejected, then put in a proper appeal to POPLA along these lines. (LINK)

Re: Parking Eye tickets
Hi Labman. Thank you so much for your reply & Im also very happy I asked as well lol!! Could you let me know what happens after I said that letter please?
I also have another incident which happened start of Sept 2013 (Im having some current bad luck with parking tickets at the mo :/)
I parked in a Kwik Fit car park about 10pm monitored by UKPC. I went to the cinema & returned approx 2hrs to 2 & a half hrs later to find a ticket on my windscreen from UKPC. Now the sign in this instance had been ripped off the wall where it should of been on the pillar next to my car. There were other signs around the car park which again I didnt see until I found my ticket & looked around. The ticket said I have a fine of £100 but will have it reduced to £60 if I pay within 14 days. Ive not paid this ticket as took advice reading forums saying to ignore this ticket which I have done. Ive still not heard anything back from them so should I continue to ignore as the ticket is different to my Parking Eye ticket or should I take the same advice you have given me for the Parking Eye ticket? Thank you

It is possible to ignore them and not go to court but it is much easier and less aggro to appeal and then usually appeal to popla and get it cancelled.
If you ignore it they have up to 6 years to start court action so you really don't get a final all clear for a long time.
If you can appeal then do so.
