Parking Eye Ticket **PE failed to produce evidence at POPLA - WON**

[Palomino24]

I've just received a £100 penalty charge notice from Parking Eye for parking at the Marriott Hotel Waltham Abbey.

 

The signs were very clear and I therefore paid my £3 charge for the allotted time.

 

I don't understand why I received a notice - I paid my money and parked within the time constraints.

 

Parking Eye do not issue you with a pay and display print out ticket so how can I prove I paid the money???

 

Any replies would be grateful please.

Hello and Welcome Palomino24,

 

I have started a new thread for you.

 

Regards,

 

Scott.

[Palomino24]

Thank you very much Scott

I wouldnt worry. PE can do NOTHING, even if you didnt pay. Stick around and the regulars will come here and give you the advice to get rid of these parasites.

If they don't issue you a 'P&D Ticket' how do you pay? Is it one of these machines where you have to type in your registration number? If it is, could it be that the registration was entered wrongly?

 

 

But either way, ultimately, it's not up to you to prove that you did pay, it's up to ParkingLie to prove that you didn't

 

Reply to ParkingLie with a simple appeal. Something along the lines of..

 

"I paid for my parking in the prescribed manner and I am therefore not liable for this parking charge". And leave it at that. ParkingLie will 99% of the time reject your appeal to them (there's no money in accepting appeals), but will then be forced to supply you with a POPLA code, which costs them £27.

 

Then you submit a full appeal to POPLA (we can help you with that when the time comes) who (based on current form) accept 99% of appeals that are submitted with the correct arguments, if ParkingLie even bother to defend it at POPLA

[Palomino24]

Thank you Renegadeimp

[Palomino24]

Thank you Dragonfly1967.

 

Yes it was a machine where you type in your car reg and then put the money in - I'm absolutely fuming!

 

I've sent an appeal in along the lines you state and now know they will reject this from what you've said and I will not give up on this as I did nothing wrong!

[DragonFly1967]

Fear not. POPLA will sort it. Of late, ParkingLie hasn't even been trying to defend (correctly worded) appeals to POPLA as they know they're onto a loser and it's not worth the aggro when there are plenty of other people (read: suckers) that will just pay up without question.

 

I'd (and others on here) like to help them all and put parkingLie and their kind with their flawed business models out of business once and for all.

Yep, write to PE and tell them that "the prescribed fee was paid for the time your vehicle was parked there and that you put them to strict proof to show that the conditions of parking were not met."

use those exact words and nothing more.

It is then down to them to explain everything and if they dont they will lose any claim for failing to show a cause for their actions.

Thank you Ericsbrother - I've already sent my statement in - but along the lines you state.

Is the registration number of your car correct on the letter they wrote to you ? I know of someone who incorrectly entered their reg number and it was the incorrect number that PE quoted - when it was pointed out to PE that two letters were the wrong way round and that a 5 year old could have spotted it, they soon cancelled the ticket.

Good suggestion Ellenn - I'll check when I get home tonight but I do believe the reg number is correct.

Just checked the penalty charge notice - it has my correct car registration number.

[ericsbrother]

If another car with a similar reg parked there and entered their number wrong you will get the demand, not them as the company relies on the car reg to identify who is there. It is a flawed process but they always claim they are right and that you have to prove you werent. This is utterly wrong and they know it but they still make their demands.

[Billy's mate]

Palomino... It is not a " Penalty " notice, just a Parking Charge Notice. ( read : invoice).

[dx100uk]

yes please check it does not say PENALTY anywhere...

[armadillo71]

It is not a penalty charge notice if it is from ParkingEye. As stated above.

 

 

A parking charge notice from them is addressed to the reg keeper, and should always be appealed as such.

 

 

Never say 'I ' in the appeal when talking about the parking event, but say , 'the driver'...

 

 

It must be your car reg as the D*L@ have given your personal details to ParkingEye.

 

 

The reply you receive from PE will cancel the charge (unlikely), or ask you to name the driver (probably),or reject your appeal(maybe).

With the rejection should come a verification code allowing you access to POPLA , where the charge will get cancelled with the correctly worded appeal to them.

[Palomino24]

Correct - it doesn't say "penalty" anywhere - it's a parking charge notice.

 

I've already replied to them and am awaiting a reply for which I will be back on here to get your expert help.

 

I must say a big thank you to you all - I've never been on a site with so many people happy and willing to help me - I'm truly grateful.

 

Thank you one and all

Palomino24,

 

You've been "Caught" by ANPR entering and exiting the car park. (Hence DVLA gave Parking lie your details).

 

I suspect you may have you may have "entered" one digit or letter incorrectly.

 

Makes NO difference YOU paid !!!!!!!!!!!!!

They will provide photos of said vehicle entering and exiting

Along with a "log" of vehicle registration numbers (partly edited) .

That parked within 30 minutes both sides before and after of you entering the car park. (It gives you the first 3 digits and the amount paid).

 

My bet is your "Partial " number plate is on that list. ..... That is what will "Hang" them at POPLA.

 

You must understand that your dealing with a Private Parking Co. ....

 

Very low intelligence (putting it politely)

You will "win" at POPLA. .... "No wucking forries".

 

Very good advice on CAG. ...... Follow it you will be fine.

Good luck.

[f16]

Another point.

 

What date was the "Offence" and what date did you receive the notice to keeper (NTK) ?????

Please see attached letter for the second stage process.

 

Any advice please on how to answer would be really appreciated.

 

Many thanks.

Re,oved due to your name and car reg showing

[Ell-enn]

You appeal to POPLA - don't use the on line form, there isn't enough room to put what you need. Write a letter quoting the POPLA code (I assume you are appealing on the grounds of genuine pre-estimate of cost? )

I'm appealing on the grounds that I paid the correct fee but they don't issue tickets at that car park - I want proof that I didn't put the money in! They haven't shown me any proof that I didn't pay - that's my appeal
