Premier Parking Solutions PCN -Exeter-Road

[Blackrose106]

I was parked in my boyfriends allocated parking space in newton abbot,

but recently without me knowing Premier Parking Solutions had put up signs and you had to display a permit,

my boyfriend didn't tell me until I got issued with a charge of £75 if you pay within 7 days or £100,

 

I appealed and sent in a photocopy of the permit but they said I had breached the conditions of the notice and still had to pay the charge.

 

I'm a student and really cant afford to pay it and my boyfriend is on minimum wage and cant afford to pay it either.

 

It says on their website that they enforce the charge so I don't know if I can get away with not paying it.

 

Can anyone tell me if they do actually enforce it and I would be better off paying it or not?

dont pay it it has no legal standing it is not a fine it is a speculative invoice. Keep all correspondence and dont respond. just keep all letters. They have no rights and when they realise you wont be paying they will look for another mug to rip off. Just keep all correspondence and wait I suspect after another 3 letters they will move on but they have no powers to force you to pay and will not take you to court as it will be quickly dismissed at court and they know it. Just look on this site to see that you never pay these.

Hello there.

 

Prepare yourself for a trail of ever more desperate and scary threatograms with tactics like red font and capital letters. If you find yourself waivering, come back here for a pep talk .

 

My best, HB

One small thing to check, around the estate there are no signs warning of clamping are there? They could not legally clamp you for not paying an invoice, but premier do clamp at some of their sites!

Hi, since it's been a little while since your predicament, I was just wondering how you got on? I just yesterday received a parking charge similar to yours from the same company, in Exeter.

 

Did they persue this in any way, or have you not heard anything?

 

I've scoured round different forums and everyone says to ignore it.

 

I'd love to, but it's not my car (I was driving, but not registered owner), and I wouldn't want to rack any more charges than the ridiculous £100 they've slapped on me!!

 

Thanks in advance

Neither of you have received a parking FINE. It was a speculative invoice and yes, you should follow the ignore advice.
