Hi. I've had a few more chasing letters, which I have ignored, but nothing else. If they are planning on going to court, they are taking their time with it.

I was, but it's been so long I've forgot most of it, so will have to revise again!

Thank you for the reply. I can't see how to edit the post to upload a letter without the reference. I'll wait it out some more then and see if a letter of claim comes through. I'd assumed this issue was dead and buried, given it was so long ago when I last had contact from them, but nevermind, I don't intend to pay these.

Hi. A year and a half later, I have finally had another letter. Got one for each offence, from DCBL. I've uploaded the letter as a PDF. Am I right in thinking I should just ignore this, and expect it to go to court? letter.pdf

Ok, thanks for confirming. I'll update when they get in touch again.

Hi all. Had a reply from ParkingEye today, saying they still think I have to pay, giving me 14 days to do so, and including an FAQ sheet. I've attached it as a PDF. Do I just ignore this until the next step, or do I need to reply again? jpg2pdf (3).pdf

Thank you to you both, I appreciate the help. Letter being sent today (the shortened format in FTMDave's post above), I'll let you know what reply I get.

Thank you. Letters are from PE, not a solicitor. They both ask for £100. They also say a court case will incur further costs of £50 for solicitors fees and £25 for court fees.

Thanks for the replies. The NTK did arrive within the time limit. I can't remember the date now, but I did check it at the time following earlier advice in this thread. I haven't been able to get back to KFC, but I did email the retail park management company, with no reply as yet. I have drafted a snotty reply. I worry that it might need changing because 1) it's not snotty enough and 2) I give too many details about my defence. What do you think?

Hi all. An update. After chasing with a couple more letters, I have today received a 'Letter Before County Court Claim' (well, two of them, one for each of the days I parked there). They say 'the requirements of schedule 4 of POFA' have been met. It says I have 30 days from 24th December (date of letter) to reply if I wish to. They also quote that beavis case you guys mention. There is a form for me to complete, asking if I dispute or accept the debt and asking for a financial statement, which I am guessing they have no right to. Is this the letter I need to reply to, or am I still in the waiting phase? Thanks again for your help, I'd have probably caved and paid both charges by now without it.

Thank you. So the advice is ignore them unless I get a court case? Happy to do that

Pictures attached. Make it clear its 1 hour free, but then says not outside of those times. pix.pdf

Yes that was a typo. Received 09/11/20. OK. Will contact the local KFC manager if I can, and also try to find planning permission details. Will let you know what I find. Thanks for all the help

OK thanks, I will try and get signage tomorrow. Sneaky as Oh flip to have a small part of a wider retail park under private parking restrictions. Is it worth contacting the KFC directly to try and have them cancel it, or does that count as acknowledging the charge and make parking Eye more likely to chase me?

I assumed my choices were to appeal or pay, and I definitely don't intend to pay. If I don't follow the appeals process, will it not go against me if it goes to court? It's not local, but near a site I've been working at. Might be able to get a photo tomorrow of the signage.
