  • Can someone please advise whether a 2yr gap then contact from Equita is legal?

    Today (8 Dec 2015) I received two letters from Equita, dated 3 Dec 2015, stating Parking Eye has passed two cases to them for collection.

    The letters had no mention of dates, times or where these incidents had occurred except ‘Parking Eye Ltd has written to you recently’.

    So I telephoned Equita and learned that one was for 28 Mar 2013 23:30pm and the other 21 Jul 2013 14:09hrs for 'parking in a Morrisons carpark.

    Yes you read those dates right!

    The Morrison store in question closes 22:00pm and the parking sign stated:

    ‘This car park is private property and for the use of customers only, whilst shopping in the store’

    so didn’t think it feasible to punch a ticket at 23:30pm seeing that the store was closed.

    For the first one it has taken 2 years, 8 months and the other 2 years, 4 months to pass the cases to the bailiffs.

    There were no reminder letters of the outstanding payments sent this year or last year and am wondering is this bailiff instruction legal?

    Any suggestions on what I can do is appreciated.

    Equita can only be acting as a debt collector in this. Only if a CCJ has been awarded could they act as Bailiffs & even then it would be the County Court Bailiff.

      Thank you Ploddertom

      Got a bit panicked!

      Haven't heard anything more since posted this and see many others got same letters so have to wait and see what Equita sends next.
