Debt recovery letter and internet full of conflicting information

[Aa124]

Hi,

i am am one of many of thousands of people who have received a pcn, I then appealed the pcn not knowing about Popla which parking eye then rejected. Then received numerous debt recovery letters. I then followed yours sar request which they responded. This is where I’m slightly confused as I don’t fancy going to court as I’ve just spent the last year in and out of court on a divorce case.
In this instance do I pay the fine of £160 or do I assume the fine will go away or do I write another letter asking for the right of the additional costs since the new legislation asking for additional costs to be removed.
All/any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

The fine will not go away. The longer you extend matters, then additional costs may be added. You could contact them and try and agree a lower fee if paid in full straight away.

You have not been fined.

The penalty charge may not 'go away'. You may be taken to court over non payment.

If you pay the £160, they will go away.

Why did you think appealing to them would work? these companies want your money and routinely reject all appeals.
On rejecting your appeal you should have been told of your right to appeal to Popla.
Were you told about your right?

What was the basis of your appeal? might it stand up in court?

Perhaps posting up your original PCN, together with details of your appeal might get you more appropriate help.

I was parked over two bays, which wasn’t my fault as I had another car that was parked over two bays due to various people chatting with pushchairs.
I had no ticket and warden said I can see what’s happened I will cancel it but obviously did not,

are you saying you never received a parking Charge Notice, either from the attendant, nor through te post?

Hi I had one through the post but not one on my window.

The fine will not go away. The longer you extend matters, then additional costs may be added. You could contact them and try and agree a lower fee if paid in full straight away.

I don’t think Parking eye or debt recovery allow you to negotiate.

With the the new legislation, am I able to question the extra costs.

Parking Eye normally get things right.
Assuming 1) their PCN complied with the regulations and that in your appeal you admitted being the driver
2) the signage was clear
and you want to avoid court......then pay.

The new legislation you refer to is (I think) the charter issued a couple of months ago which does not have to be implemented by thre parking companies until the end of 2023
