Parking Eye parking charge So'ton

[lahm]

Recently I received a letter from Parking Eye.

 

They show photo proof I entered/left a ferry car park in Southampton and issued a parking charge of £110 (£75 if paid early).

 

I replied enclosing my timed parking & ferry tickets, explaining that I did pay but clearly took longer before & after the time on the ticket to sort out children, buy tickets, etc etc.

 

I apologised & explained it was unintentional as I didnt realise I had to pay for the perusal time/time I was still with the car.

 

They responded with a minor amendment to the original letter, but not a personal response, saying 'insufficient time was paid for.

..thus the parking charge is payable & remains outstanding'.

 

I paid for 3 hours, but was 'in the car park' for 3h41mins.

 

I've responded saying 'I did what was reasonable. I am not prepared to pay your invoice'. BUT..

... Ought I pay?

 

Any further help valued please.

Nope, nope, nope and nope. Ignore them and they will go away.

 

Search for parking eye on the forums and you'l see there all hot air and can not make you pay anything as you have done nothing wrong.

And even when the letters start to look more frightning, just ignore them some more and they will soon get fed up of wasting there time and will move on to the next person.

First you should give yourself a slap on the wrist for contacting them.

 

Second IGNORE all further begging letter's that you get off them and anyone else, even the ones with scary looking red ink and CAPITAL LETTER'S.

 

A private company does not have the authority to issue fines, only the police or council can do that.

 

Relax, and keep all letter's you receive, just in case you run out of toilet paper.
