Parking charge notice Euro car parks

[ukejackal]

Hi all.

 

Have read some very useful and interesting info and templates for disputing private parking charges. Can anyone advise me as to whether the procedure is still valid if I parked in a retail park free parking area but accidently parked in a disabled spot thinking it was parent and child. GEUINELY !!!! This is with the above mentioned private company. Please help!!!

 

Thanks.:sad:

Although there are template letters on this forum that were produced some time ago, the most general advise offered more recently is to not communicate with the PPC at all.

 

Do not Appeal

Do not write to them

Do not telephone them

Do not reply to their letters and threats

Yep, follow the advice above and completely ignore. Euro are well known. Expect a couple of letters from them and then their 'debt' collectors before they give up and go away.

As above-the best advice it seems is to ignore. Also, the appeals process (if you wanted to appeal) will be worthless as it is done 'in house' so only one outcome! What will happen from here is that if you choose to ignore you will recieve another letter from Euro Paks saying that they are increasing the 'fine' (by the way its an invoice and not a fine). From here they will probably pass it on to Control Account Management DCA who will send you two letters threatening all sorts of nonsense (bailiffs, court etc). After that they will give up.

I, again, have to disagree. Ignoring people who are ultimately threatening to take you to court is not clever. You need to formulate your case, put it to them and chellenge them to sue you or leave you alone.

 

One of these people you keep telling to ignore these things is going to get a summons and will be at a disadvantage from the start for having not put their position forward.

 

That this is the prevailing advice is worrying and grim.
