Parking Eye Court Summons

[Joey1967]

Hi

 

I wonder if anyone could give me a bit of advice.

 

I received a parking charge notice last June from Parking Eye and

 

from looking online I took the advice given at the time to ignore it.

 

But in January I received a County Court Summons from Northampton.

 

I have sent in a defence to the Court but also sent a copy to Parking Eye.

 

Parking Eye have written back with a letter headed

"Without Prejudice Save as to Costs"

saying that they require me to pay £50 for the Court costs.

I am unsure what to do now.

 

Does this mean that if I pay the £50 the case will be dropped?

 

Can anyone help with advice as to what to do next?

Thanks

what it really says is if your a mug

 

,pay us £50,

 

and we will still go to court,

 

advice june last year I think was not to ignore

 

but go through popla and send a defence that they must defend .

 

please do not send them 1P.

 

wait for expert advice from cag.

I suggest you go read on the parking prankster site.

What to do now?

 

Ignore their offer and it will force them to pay the court allocation fee and waste a lot of money preparing a case for their claim against you.

 

As you have posted off a defence then you should bone up on what you need to put down in detail for that defence

and as said, there are a couple of cracking case transcripts on parking prankster that you can utilise.

 

In the meanwhile turn the tables on PE and write to them demanding a copy of the contract between them and the landlord under CRP 31.3.

 

This demand, if not satisfied will land them in hot water when you complain to the judge and ask for the claim

to be struck out on the basis of no evidence of contract.

 

look up the procedures to see how long they have to respond and if they fail yo then look up what form you need for a strike out.

The next day Parking Eye have sent an undated Notice to Proceed and

 

then on the next page

"Reply to Defence" so

 

it looks like they want to take me to court.

 

Within that bundle there is a copy of a Contract Variation Instruction which says

 

"To instruct ParkingEye Ltd to enforce parking control and issue enforcement notices in keeping with the agreed terms

and wording as set out upon the warning notices issued to vehicles parking without authorisation

on the land known as:- xxxxxxxx"

 

What does that mean?

 

There is no copy of the actual contract.

They won't show you the contract,

 

they won't show POPLA the contract,

 

they won't show the small claims the contract...

They are hoping you will be frightened into paying up. If they do take the matter to court this bundle of paper can be used against them and has been recently so dont worry. It is still all threats at the moment, this is a variation to a contract that they dont want to show a judge because they know that they dont actually have the rights they claim so they hope that no-one will read this properly
