Hello,
thank you for adding me, I am really hoping you can help me. I received a 'letter before county court claim' dated 25th September from parking eye stating that I was required to pay £100 for breach of t's and c's at thistle hotel Poole. This was the first letter I had received regarding this matter, I tried to call them and was met with an automated voice and was unable to speak to anyone. I therefore wrote a letter to them explaining that when I arrived in the car park, I had no money on me as my partner was following me in to the car park in another vehicle. He got stuck in traffic and took some time to arrive. As soon as he did, we both paid for our tickets and went about our business.
This morning, I got a letter from the county court increasing the fine to £175 as costs had been added.
I am not disputing the fact that I did not pay for a ticket for the whole time, if I'm honest, I didn't think about it as I put a ticket on before I left the vehicle.
I phoned a number for PE that I got from your forum and spoke to a lady who told me that I should have received 3 letters prior to the one I have giving me a chance to pay £60 (I didn't get them) and that they did not receive my letter.
She told me that they would reduce the cost to £125 if I pay today, I am a single mum and just don't have that sort of money.
I phoned the hotel to see if they can help but was told that the car park belongs to PE not the hotel.
any advice would be gratefully received.
