Parking-eye have not bothered me since they sent a 3rd 'official' notice which I duly received on June 24th. I never responded and have no plans to frequent any co-op stores or anywhere with a parking-eye sign in the future.

Good news then barnyboot - but just who were your car park pirates, was it PARKING EYE ? Cheers, Johnny.

Spanglespangle, was that also from PARKING EYE ? Cheers, Johnny.

Hi All, As expected I have now received a second letter from PARKING EYE, which is approx 3 weeks from receipt of the first one. Will keep you posted. Cheers, Johnny.

Yes I see, thank you spangle, I can follow that. Cheers, Johnny.

Hey dx old boy, you see I have led such a sheltered law abiding life - RETIRED NOW, former motorcycle road racer, divorced three times, only been driving for 46 years - psv, hgv class 1, police driving instructor, IAM - ADI (cars and motorcycles), no driving convictions, some driving commendations, clean licence, no parking tickets, no cci's, I've even got a tv licence, just the two fines for not wearing a seatbelt, one in 1983 on the first day it became law (an over enthusiastic fellow bobby) and two years ago in a town I never usually frequent they got me in a 'seat-belt sting' operation. This parking letter thing was a complete surprise, out of the blue and really I was innocently searching for some advice when I stumbled on this site, plus I'm new to forums and I guess I posted on the first thread relating to PPC's. Clearly I have irritated you and I apologise, from now on I will look (I was going to say 'listen') and learn and keep shtum !!!!!!!! BUT, IF, finally any baliff ever does become entangled in the jaws of my dog re-this matter I will let you know the outcome. Cheers, Johnny.

OK fine I see now it is a well worn thread. But when I first opened the envelope from parking eye I had an idea it was a clever [problem] but I was livid, spitting blood even, I was a genuine co-op shopper who never noticed any cameras or the new designated parking hours and one day after shopping I just fancied some fish and chips which took me over the allotted 1hr 30mins stay !!!!!!!!!!!! Back to the thread: All you advice givers do a great job because all any parking eye virgin victim wants is reassurance, however, there are quite a lot of if's and but's still used so, and following the receipt of the four ? envelopes from PE to myself plus a significant passage of time thereafter and/or any balif caught by my german shepherd, I shall hereby reserve judgement. Cheers, Johnny.

OK kiptower thanks for your quick response, so then my best option is to do absolutely nothing, zilch, NOWT ?

To : barnyboot. What is your current situation re the PPC fiasco, are they taking you to court or have they gone quiet, have the letters ceased? Has any of you on here successfully achieved satisfaction and an end to all correspondence by the 'do nothing and ignore' method ? I can find a lot of people who have grudgingly paid the initial charge, BUT, has anyone actually been summoned and fined or been visited by the balif's ? Thanks, would appreciate any reply as I can just feel the hook ( received a parking notice from parking-eye last week ) but at the minute the line is still slack !! Cheers, Johnny.
