ParkingEye Court threat

Re: ParkingEye Court threat

I've agreed to the free mediation, but I bet ParkingEye don't agree, because they will want to drag it out, hoping I will just pay up.

I can't see how they think they can win, when I can prove I wasn't in that car park at that time.

Re: ParkingEye Court threat

The do do mediation although sometimes the questionnaire is ticked no !!

They refused to budge on £100 in another case but that was 2 tickets so maybe it's £50 per ticket.

Re: ParkingEye Court threat

Their sign in the car-park says "Failure to comply with this will result in a Parking Charge of £85" surely that means that this is a penal charge (fine)


BTW they have said no to the mediation.

Re: ParkingEye Court threat

Yes fill it in.

I can't really comment on a case when i don't know the particular facts of it nor have i seen the defence.

Parking eye have lost plenty, especially recently.

In one case, what the judge has ruled bears out part of my arguments about the admissibility of ANPR images.

However, it does make one wonder whether it would be simpler - and quicker - to send Parking Eye the following quote -

No argument here.

No argument here.

Sorry, do you mean you agree, or I have no argument?

ALSO what is this in the code of practice?

"20.7 As well as meeting the POFA 2012 statutory requirements to be a Notice to Driver, your parking
charge notice must tell drivers that you may be
requesting information from the DVLA as to the
registered keeper of the vehicle, and the ‘reasonable
cause’ you have for making that request."

Text size
"The sign should be placed so that it is readable by drivers without their needing to look away from the road ahead"

I think they failed here too

Re: ParkingEye Court threat

It means i agree with you.

Code of prcatice will be the bpa code of practice.

It's the cop at the applicable time you want.

Re: ParkingEye Court threat

Interesting reading the code of practice:

APPENDIX B ENTRANCE SIGNS

"The sign should be placed so that it is readable by drivers without their needing to look away from the road ahead. "
ParkingEye has failed to do this.



"The capital height for Group 1 text will depend on the approach speed of traffic"
"Parking area entered immediately by turning off a 30 mph road, Minimum capital height for Group 1 text 60mm"
ParkingEye's biggest letter on their sign is just 38mm

This should be so easy to fight in court

Re: ParkingEye Court threat

I'm self employed, going to court will mess up my whole day, if not my whole week. What would be a fair price to ask for to cover my expense? and would I need to declare this before the court hearing?

Also I want to add to my defence that I didn't see the signs, how do I go about doing that?

Re: ParkingEye Court threat

You only get limited costs if you win unless you can persuade a judge that they were unreasonable.

The argument is not so much about whether you saw them as whether you should've seen them.

Amending is covered in cpr 17 http://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/pro...l/rules/part17

Thanks again for your replies.

Well as I said above, ParkingEye haven't followed BPA's code of practice on positioning and font size of the signs as you enter the car-park.

Re: ParkingEye Court threat

David Evans of the DVLA said on BCC's Watchdog that they only release information under very strict controls and when it's lawful to do so, but they are obviously doing NOTHING to check that ParkingEye are following these strict rules, so the DVLA must be unlawfully selling our details :tinysmile_aha_t: .

Re: ParkingEye Court threat

DVLA talk more shite than parking eye and they're full of it !
