ParkingEye ANPR PCN - mistyped Reg Number - sword in the stone, tintagel, cornwallPopla appeal refused - please help

[Flash 30]

Sorry for long winded post but would like to give details prior to popla refusal.

 

We got a pcn while on holiday and definately purchased a ticket

e-mailed parking eye with the details.

 

They replied confirming we did purchase a ticket but typed in the wrong vehicle reg

said as a gesture of goodwill reduced the charge to 20.00.

 

Not knowing much i emailed them through the appeals email as this appeared the only way of contact them

stating on the top this is not an appeal but request for information asking what we typed in by mistake

what we should do in future as my husband is dyslexic and struggles with computer screens.

 

I got a reply saying my appeal had been refused and a popla code issued

was told the discounted amount was valid for a further 14 days.

 

logged onto the parking eye account and found that the fine was still showing as 60.00.

I tried to part pay but it would not allow me

I rang but it was an automated line again I could only pay the 60.00

 

as a last resort I wrote a letter again asking for proof of the error

could they amend the value to 20.00 as I could not pay it.

I got an email back saying they would not correspond with me further and to go through Popla.

 

I did my popla appeal saying that parking eye had not provide me with evidence of my error

I physically could not pay the 20.00 requested.

Parking eye then gave a vehicle search to popla as evidence.

 

In my return comments I said if they could provide this now why would they not give it to me when I originally requested it,

they made it impossible for me to pay the asked amount.

 

Popla refused my claim saying that the proof was there and they cannot get involved with disputes over customer services and the value this should be discussed with parking eye.

 

i am so frustrated as I could not discuss it with them,

I tried every route possible to pay the 20.00 but couldn't.

All of the evidence parking eye have submitted has disappeared from popla,

 

I know I may have gone about it wrong

I don't know what to do now,

do you think I have a strong case to continue

should I pay the 100 they are now asking for.

 

Thank you so much.

I am in a foreign country at the moment and have limited Wi-Fi but will try to connect as much as possible

I have managed to attach the popla refusal

Thank you so much DX I really appreciate your help

[ericsbrother]

you need to read up on the court cases that have the same issue and PE lose their claims because there is no loss and the supposed breach of contract is not realy there as the details entered dont match another vehicle so they know that you have paid.

 

What their contract doenst say is you will be fined for making a slip of the finger.

they should have a system that rejects wrong entries into the keypad to pay

but they dont as they make more money out of shafting people for these errors and claiming them as breaches than they do from parking.

 

Do not take them so seriously next time,

going to appeal over matters like this is pointless,

you are better off waiting for them to threaten court

and then quote the previous case law back at them

and then tell them that it will be an expensive day uout for them if they continue to tell lies
