Euro Car Parks Ltd

[timbles]

Hello all,

 

I've stumbled across this site as I'm in a bit of a quandary with a charge from Euro Car Parks Ltd.

 

On Saturday I parked up in Manchester and the Car Park sign read something like..

 

Weekdays

24 hours - £5.00

 

Weekends

Up to 24 hours - £2.00

 

Stupidly I presumed I’d got 24 hours and from 3pm Saturday I thought I had till 3pm Sunday. I was wrong and the ticket expired at 8am on Sunday. There was a nasty £70 notice waiting for me stating that if I haven’t paid within seven days it will increase to £90 and they will get my details from the DVLA. They will also pass me over to a debt collector blab la.

 

I’ve also just noticed that the expiry date on the ticket says 13:41, which I presume is an error with the machine as that is not even a year!

 

What do you think I should do? Cheers guys and gals.

Its rubbish. ignore them.

You just have an unenforceable invoice.

 

Expect threatening, lying letters from Euro, Brinix and Credit Control. Ignore the lot and they will go away.

 

We know Euro well.

Cheers guys,

 

I've just been looking at them on Companies House and a Director of Euro Car Parks Ltd - Robert Plant, is also a Director of Brinx Debt Recovery. How very convenient!

surely anyway if it says up to 24 hours you have 24 hours!!

 

ridiculous!

Rob is into his yachting. That's where the proceeds of his 'endeavours' end up.

[lamma]

Rob and Simon into yachting then ?

As the posters have noted- ignore. Euro Parks are not worth getting worried about in the slightest. So Mr Plant is director of Brinx...very interesting

Expect a few letters from them and/or Control Account (letterhead with chequered motif in the corner). They'll disappear after that

Thanks for your replies folks.

 

I've just rang them because my car is leasesd and Seat Finance may charge me £50 for providing info.

 

I offered my name and address and when they said "Do you not want to pay now?" I said "No, not really" and Helen said "Do you want to be receiving letters?" I said "I'm not really bothered".

 

Like you say, toothless. Cheers again.

Best put it in writing to Seat that you won't be paying this unenforceable invoice and assume their company is savvy enough to know the difference between legitimate penalty charge notices and private parking tat.
