@morrisons Parking Eye sent court claim form! HELP

[afiarahman]

Dear Consumer Forum

 

I have been sent a claim form from the county court business centre, Nottingham.

 

Parking Eye have sent this and I don't know why.

 

It was sent to my old address and as I have moved the letter was forwarded on to me.

 

I do not recall this parking offence occurring at Morrisons supermarket car park

 

but Parking Eye have picture evidence of my car leaving the car park later than the two hours allowed for parking there.

 

As I am the registered owner I am obviously liable?

 

I don't know what to do or how to tackle something that I do not recall happening and feel it is outrageous to request £185 costs from me.

 

 

Please help, much appreciated.

 

 

Many thanks

it is insanely easy to win with this. Especially in a Morrisons car park.

[afiarahman]

Please can you advise me how? Do I respond to the courts claim form and declare I do not know what this form is all about?

 

 

I do not want to go to court and defend myself on something I do not recall doing.

 

 

Thanks you for any advice

[renegadeimp]

First, you use the login details on the claim form. When you are onthe site, you need to acknowledge the claim and click defend all.

 

Parking Eye know they will lose if you defend. They are abusing the courts by using them as a form of debt collection.

Sorry for being a dimwit! I have gone online on MCOL and there is a question whether I want to contest juristriction of the claim against me...do I tick yes.?

[renegadeimp]

No. Click no.

[renegadeimp]

DO not enter a defence yet either. ALl you want to do is acknowledge the claim and your intention to defend in full. Nothing more.

Moved to Private Parking Forum

[afiarahman]

I have only done an acknowledgement of service on MCOL. it states I have 28 days to make a full defence....do I not make the defence yet ? What happens now?

 

 

I do not know what angle to put my defence aside from the fact that all the letters Private Eye sent me were sent at my old address therefore unable to respond sooner. I do not recall this incident occurring even though they state that they have pictures of my car entering and leaving the car park in march 2014.

I dispute it on the grounds that they cant prove it was me driving and also they claim there were no valid parking ticket displayed. There are no pictures showing the dashboard so therefore no proof to show that there wasn't one displayed.

[renegadeimp]

Dont make a defence yet and stop panicking. You have a while now to get things in order. Sit tight and someone will be able to help you in the next day or so. For now, have a good read of this forum so you can get an idea of what to do.

Whilst you are waiting for others to help in regards to the court papers, it might be worth sending a formal complaint to the CEO of Morrisons, they might just step in and get PE to cancel the invoice/ court claim.

 

I received court papers too, and complained to the companies head office and they were able to get the invoice cancelled and also the court claim too.

Getting on to morrisons is a must create as much as you can and let as many people know how they treat their customers

An update on the court claim form is this.

 

I contacted Morrisons manager and he was helpful in so as as emailing parking eye to drop the fine.

 

parking eye then responded by stating that I need to pay the court fee of £25

and some administration fee bringing the total up to £60!

 

I am not willing to pay this, is there any advise on what to do next?

 

I'm waiting for parking eye to contact me so I can inform them of this.

 

If I take this to court

 

what is the defence angle I should take

 

as they are willing to drop the parking charge minus the sixty pounds which is ridiculous.

 

Any advise will be most appreciated

[dx100uk]

what date is on the top right of the claimform please

 

dx

[afiarahman]

I think the date is sometime in May or June. I have registered with the court

[dx100uk]

[afiarahman]

[dx100uk]

AND the court confirm ythis

[afiarahman]

I have filed a defence a few weeks back when I received the letter. I came home to Find a letter from parking eye telling me to pay 60 pounds for the costs associated with the country court claim within the next 7 days dated from yesterday.
