Hi all, new to the forum no doubt like many others when they do a google search for advice on parking tickets!

 

I've today received a parking charge notice from Parking Eye, requesting payment of £80 or £50 if paid in next 14 days.

 

They have sent the notice to me as the registered keeper, and I was driving, although obviously the letter doesn't offer any proof of this but photographic evidence may!

 

The charge is for parking in B&Q Crewe before hoping on the train to Manchester, so was over the 3 hour limit by 4 hours (09:50 til 16:59).

 

I accept that it was me driving, I'd also accept that I was parked there that long, but its not a busy car park on a weekend (it was Saturday) and I'm reluctant to pay such a large charge for very little.

 

What would you suggest I do, I don't really want to keep receiving letters from them, nor from any solicitors, and certainly don't want a black mark against my name/credit, or someone turning up at the door.

 

If I ignore will they really go away, or just increase the charge and eventually take it to court.

 

I have no financial problems, I could pay it to avoid hassle, but thats not really the point is it? I just can't spend much time on this, as I'm busy enough already!

 

Please help.

Have had three letters myself up too now, and if you check the small print at the foot of the letters they are all sent from the same address. Just ignore them F--- Em
