parkingeye fine

[paul carpenter]

hi can anyone advice me on what to do,

 

i received a fine from parkingeye for £90 but if i pay with in a certain period i will have to pay £60.

 

on the 2/6/12 i entered a carpark in newquay cornwall my other half went and purchased a 2hr parking ticket on which you had to put in the reg number,

we went off and done what we wanted to do and returned before the 2hrs was up and left.

 

the following saturday i get a letter from parkingeye about using there private carpark and it has two pictures of my vechile

one entering at 11.12 and one leaving at 13.19. it says that i had eithernot purchased a valid ticket or i had stayed longer than was permited.

 

1, i have no longer have the carpark ticket

2, my other half might of missed one letter off

 

 

i have tryed ringing them on about 20 occasions but it just goes to an automated payment system

i did write out an appeal letter and posted it last monday morning by register post on which i know that they had received it on the following day.

i have untill this tuesday to pay or it goes up, what shall i do.

This is not a fine and you don't owe them a penny. Please read all the other threads on here that deal with private parking tickets and you will see that you have nothing to worry about.

Do NOT contact them ever again and ignore all the threat-o-grams you will get. You owe them exactly as much as I do. Nothing.

[Bang!]

They will write for a while with letters intended to make you see dubious logic in paying their equally dubious begging letters.

 

If you respond, you appear more of a sucker likely to offer them money - so get more letters.

 

They cannot damage your credit rating etc.

Submitting an 'appeal' is generally a bad idea. Firstly there's no real appeal, because it's not independently or objectively reviewed. Secondly, because the letter will usually include admissions (that you were driving, that you overstayed, etc) which makes court action easier for them.

 

The advice here, and I think it's sound, is to either ignore them completely or to send a brief acknowledgement without concession of any facts -'I am not aware of owing you any debt. Please provide full details of the contract which you claim I entered into'.

[bumblewasp]

DO NOT send any acknowledgement, letter, explanation, appeal, questions, queries, denials or anything else whatsoever. The second you repsond at all they will up the ante and bombard you with 'solicitors' threats until you cave in. They WILL NOT take you to court if you ignore them.
