Parking Charge Notice

Deleted User 234324 · 10 Mar 2011 at 15:29

They would have to get a CCJ in order to instruct baliff action and any court would laugh them out the door if they tried.

It'll be interesting to know the outcome of this.

It seems like they're just trying to threaten you into paying the fine.

Two points.

1. It's not a fine.

2. Intimidation and implied threats are how these people operate.

I normally park with the drivers side slightly over the next bay.

I'd never do it in an even mildly busy car park though, someone is bound to key the car.

And rest assured, if it was busy I'd be parking my shed 3" from your car, and watching you climb through your passenger door.

I had a Parking Eye one, had 3 out of the 4 known letters in January.

Not heard a peep since.

They really are cheeky *****

They really are persistent, last paragraph is interesting.

Quick Googling of the solicitor brings up some amusing results

The last paragraph isn't very interesting, it's a company trying its best to disparage good advice as it blows their business model to ****.

Yeah but what happens if you do seek proper legal advice? Surely any decent solicitor is just going to instruct you to put the "fine" straight in the shredder?

Most probably yes.

They have never won at court yet or more accurately have never presented a case to court; it is a business built on empty threats.

Hmm.

Sadly I (or rather, my other half) are one of the long line of people who have actually given money to these companies.

My god, what a row it caused when I found out she'd done it.

Biohazard · 16 Apr 2011 at 19:03

That's it, tickets that look real and letters that sound official. People pay.

Never do it again unless the legallities have changed.

I parked in a poorly marked dissabled bay in a quiet retail park a few months late at night popping into a shop, I did notice but didn't care the place was empty.

Five minutes latter 'PCN' on the window with a note on the back to officers saying they should not advise non payment if presented with it

Still waiting for anything, which would get binned by due course anyway.

They probably don't even want to waste money on DVLA data (a few quid per driver detail, criminal that our state sells our details)

Luckily I don't live in a ***** area like Lancashire so no chance of that happening unless you've come down South to appear on Jeremy Kyle or something.
