Parking Eye ANPR PCN PAPLOC - dismissed appeal 15mins stay after 10pm - Colne Road, Clacton on Sea

[Fringer]

But surely as I was only collecting a member of staff (so my registration wasn't logged) and stayed longer than the 10 minute window, their issue is correct?

 

I may have the complete wrong end of the stick

[dx100uk]

10 mins min.. Under their old boys club guidelines there is no maximum

we have seen 17 mins allowed and speculative invoice cancelled.

 

dont panic all is not lost far from it!!!!!

The logging of the registration number is not something set out in an Act of Parliament!  It's simply an internal system they have to stop staff members getting tickets.  When you explained you were picking up a member of staff they could have cancelled your ticket but chose not to, because they never do and are only interested in £££££.

 

You need to reply with a snotty letter otherwise they are highly likely to take you to court.  How about -

 

Dear Parking Eye,

 

Re: PCN no. XXXXX

 

cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I creased up at the idea you thought I would actually take such tripe seriously and cough up!

 

You know full well that I was picking up a member of staff and had every right to park in the staff spaces so I'm not paying you a bean.

 

If you want a good thrashing in court then bring it on, I will enjoy getting an unreasonable costs under CPR 27.14(2)(g) and spending it all on a foreign holiday now we can all travel again, while all the time laughing at you.

 

I look forward to your deafening silence.

 

Now, we don't usually advise including how you would defend a claim in the snotty letter, but in your case I have done so as you've already stated your reasons in an appeal.  However, hang on and see what the other regulars have to say in the course of the the day.

 

It's interesting that PE are demanding £100.  Usually at LoC stage all the PPCs make up extra money we call the Unicorn Food Tax and demand £160.  In their LoC was there a reply pack or similar?

[Fringer]

have re-worded that ever so slightly and will be sending off today 

there was nothing else in the letter, just if I cant pay fill in all my outgoings etc 

[dx100uk]

post it up so we are sure you are not making silly mistakes.

 

yes I&E is part of the PAPLOC reply pack , but you ignore their pack totally.

[FTMDave]

Send the letter off exactly as in post 29 by 2nd class post and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.

[Fringer]

This is what I put - I put it in the post box before I saw the last post so have no proof of postage. I should ruddy learn to do that!

Thank you for your Letter Before Claim. I am amazed that you thought I would I take your letter seriously and actually pay you!

 

You know full well that I was picking up a member of staff and had every right to park in the staff spaces so I'm not paying you a penny.

No problem, it will still get there and have the same effect - hopefully of leaving you in peace and instead going after some mug more likely to cough up.

[Fringer]

I'll let you know if / when I get a response! 

[FTMDave]

Hopefully they'll crawl back under their stone and you never will!

[FTMDave]

Open.

[Fringer]

Thank you

ive received a letter today from a company called dcbl asking for £170

[Ethel Street]

Can you post the letter up as a pdf please. Cover up all information that could identify you - name, car reg, reference numbers.

unless from dcb legal and entitled a letter of claim, with a reply pack and an I&E sheet, safe to ignore the DCA (DCBL ch.5. bailiffs acting as a powerless DCA)

Safe to ignore then not a letter of claim.

This after Parking Eye have already sent a Letter of Claim and been snotty lettered in response.

 

You told them to go ahead and do court and so ...

 

... they've got you to open an envelope.

More relaxing & more ignoring.

[lookinforinfo]

You are right FTM, PE do not usually add anything on to the £100 claim. However DCBL are rather fond of doing it -presumably off their own bat as they appear to think they have carte blanche when sending out their begging letters.

[Fringer]

Makes me wonder how many people actually pay these!
