Parking Eye-Corley Services M6 **WON at POPLA**

[*Thumper]

Had a PCN from Parking Eye for 10/01/14 ......2.5 hours

 

 

Issue is, they have sent demand to employer (company car)

I spent an hour explaining to MD, and extolling the virtues, of CAG. But he wants me to deal with it.

 

 

Should I send PE a note, to forward correspondence to me? So I can ignore them?

Or tell em, as a company we can't hand over driver details.... Data Protection etc

I have the ability to use company headers.

I notice, advise is changing a little, on the ignore front.

Get yourself named as the driver

[Homer67]

The only involvement your company should have is to name you as the driver, then you follow the usual route with appeal, appeal to POPLA and win!

[silverfox1961]

Hi

I agree with the others. You need to take this away from your employer or else they 'may' pay it and take it from your wages

 

Just confirm you were the driver and then your boss is covered and PE will have to chase you so get the letter of appeal sent and wait for the rejection (as they always do)

[*Thumper]

Cheers guy's

I will write to them Monday, on a letterhead, giving my details.

I'll update post as appropriate.

[kirkbyinfurnesslad]

You should also do it on their website

[*Thumper]

Here's a copy of the letter drafted, sent, and posted via their website.

 

 

The vehicle is allocated to:

Mr T.**********

********

*******

*******

CV10 ***

 

 

**** ******** Ltd won't be held responsible, for any speeding fines,

Parking tickets, or spurious invoices(parking charge notices)

obtained by staff driving company vehicles. As it's their responsibility, by law.

Please address all correspondence, to the person named above.

 

 

 

No further correspondence will be entered into.

Any further attempts to contact **** *********Ltd for invoice payment. Will result in a request,

for administration charges, and cost's, to be taken into account,

by any court you wish to use, to settle the claim.

Update:

 

 

Received, by post today, the same invoice from Parking Eye. Now addressed to me personally.

Identical, letter/invoice, but with the date of issue, changed to 12/2/14. Asking for £60 now,

or £100, after 26/02/14

 

 

So identical document, with dates changed.

 

 

So, Now I appeal direct to Parking Eye, 1st?

[kirkbyinfurnesslad]

Yes and tell them to issue you a popla appeal code if they reject your appeal

Letter below, sent to Parking Eye, today!

I could have gone on, and on....... but decided not to waste my time.

Dear Sirs,

With reference to, your two letters sent, dated, 26/01/14 & 21/02/14. You state I owe you monies, for overstaying, at a car park. I’m confused, as you’ve ask for monies to be paid, offering a ‘discount’ if paid by certain dates, on two separate occasions. Due to the nature, of your demanding money, for no reason. I can only conclude that these are speculative invoices.

I understand, that although, this invoice is speculative. To get resolution, I need to appeal. So take this letter, and the enclosed, receipts. As proof of purchases, from the land owners commercial business’s. As my appeal.

I also insist you issue me, with a POPLA code, so that if you carry on with this invoice claim. I can take full advantage of the independent appeals service.

If you do not desist, sending your spurious invoice claims. I will have no hesitation, to defend, and seek damages, in my local county court.

It is not beyond, the wit of man (and the courts) to see that £100, for allegedly 32 minutes of parking. Is not really any consequential loss, of balance, or validity? And If you so wish to pursue, this speculative invoice claim. I will be happy, to defend, in a local court of my choosing. As is my right.

To re-iterate. Please issue a POPLA code. If you wish to continue, with your claim.

Yours Sincerely

I've received a letter, today, from Parking Eye.

 

 

Lots of case law, quoted, and a POPLA appeals document.

(why the hell I should appeal a spurious, invoice, I'll never know)

 

 

Whats the SP now, please?

 

 

What basis do I appeal to POPLA?

Is there any Templates, or advise?

1. Can ParkingEye please show, through sight of contract, that they have lawful authority to issue and pursue parking charge notices.

 

2. Can ParkingEye please show a full breakdown of the genuine pre estimate of loss that this charge must represent.

[esmerobbo]

As armadillo71 has said, but put some meat on the bones. What PE didn't say is that they always lose at POPLA on GPEOL when they cant prove their losses. Also there are a lot of questions being asked about their contracts.

[DBC]

In fact PE have now given up on POPLA appeals when GPEOL or contract are mentioned. They just don't bother to submit evidence thus giving a win to the motorist.

You don't need any ' meat on the bones'...

Just bringing up the points means they have to be addressed.

(Or not,and the PPC giving up, as is currently the form).

[*Thumper]

Submitted my appeal to POPLA, today.

They have emailed a summary of my appeal

 

 

Does anyone know, why they use the email address 'London Councils.gov.uk' ??

They aren't a London Borough. And they certainly aren't a .Gov establishment

 

 

Anyway, I told em to shove it, and to send me a pre estimate of loss

They won the contract to run the 'independent' appeals service...

[*Thumper]

Received further correspondence today:

 

 

My appeal, will be looked at on, or after, the 14th May2014

lol.... They can take as long as they like, as far as I'm concerned

They must be very busy!!

[*Thumper]

I've had a response, from POPLA, today

 

 

Appeal won !!!!!

 

 

On the basis, that Parking Eye, did not provide evidence of contract

or consequential loss!!!

[silverfox1961]

Well done. As expected (post 14) they didn't even bother sending their 'evidence'

 

I will edit the thread title to reflect the result.

[f16]

*Thumper

Well done !!!!

Good feeling isn't it.

[*Thumper]

Please do!

 

 

All I did was cut and paste around 6 pages, of text, from the parking prangster website.

It didn't make much sense, as the way I pasted. But it had all the important phrases

Such as, 'contract with land owner' and show consequential loss.
