Civil Enforcement Ltd (again!)
nacklington replied to chococat's topic in Private Land Parking Enforcement
Hi everyone ! I am so relieved to have found this site with so many other people 'under threat' from Civil Enforcement Ltd. I feel I must contribute as I was as I suspect many others were too, about to send £75 to an unknown company for a parking fine. Hopefully the following information will appear in a search engine for others who have been 'caught' in similar circumstances. My wife drove our kids to The Goldstone Retail Park, Old Shoreham Road, Hove, BN3 7PN. last week and parked in the free car park for a few hours. A couple of days ago we received a Parking Contravention notice from Civil Enforcement Ltd, Liverpool. (£150 reduced to £75 if paid within 14 days) for breaching the limited stay allowance. The retail park contains the following outlets - Burger King, Sports shop (JJB I think) DFS, Toys r Us and Comet. Having over the past few years purchased a plasma t.v for £1,200 from Comet, A £2,000 leather sofa from DFS together with countless toys and sports items I feel we have contributed well towards the retail park. However the parking ticket arrived, and my wife admitted to - on that occasion only using Burger King then visiting a nearby park with the kids for a few hours. We had no idea there were any restrictions in place as the retail park is not near to any other amenities such as High Streets or train stations. When I first started reading this forum, I initially thought I would go with a letter back to CEL saying that although I am the registered keeper of the vehicle, they must take it up with the driver, but having read through a lot of the posts I think the best plan of attack is to ignore them completely. I am not an expert but a few small signs put enough doubt in my mind to search on the internet for similar cases such as .... no parking ticket attached to the car at the time, not enough company information on the demand letter, no recorded delivery, and funnily enough - because to them I think they thought it might add some muscle, but the 'scales of justice' in the top right hand corner of their letter just screamed alarm bells to me ! I am always up for a battle and will keep this forum posted with any correspondance from CEL, but reading the previous posts it has given me the confidence to stand firm and not pay up to the unfair threatening letter, and I hope others like me might take comfort too. Looking forward to their next letter ..............
