Parking fine.

Re: Parking fine.

Second letter received. The amount has now increased to £110 due to an additional £40 due to costs and administration involved!

Also, a bit I like - and know its bull, but am sure they are not menat to put it on their letters. They can apparently register it and it will affect the ability to get credit!!

Re: Parking fine.

If you do respond it could possibly be used against you by them as acknowledging that some sort of contract existed between the two parties - it is important that this should not happen.

Even if one were to "sign" the letter (using a handwriting font) as "Hugh Janus"?

Re: Parking fine.

Totally ignore it. Do not respond in any way whatsoever to either this, or any further chasing up letters they send. Act as though it just never happened and let them waste their money.

Re: Parking fine.

I know someone that has recieved one this morning, and pictures of the vehicle entering and leaving the car park have been included, giving a 3 hour window. It does state that it is 2hour max. in the car park. Letter goes on to "ask" I suupose for £70 - or £50 if paid quickly.

Do these letters hold as much water as the "fines" from other non council car parks (this was a retail park for clarity).

If they wish to respond at all, they should refer Parking Eye to the celebrated (if unreported) retort in the case of Arkell v. Pressdram.

Re: Parking fine.

This is parking eye no doubt and hold no weight at all and a search of parking eye will throw up loads.

You can safely file the letters under ignore.

I am going to assume this is correct. I know with them bright yellow ones they stick to the screen / under your wiper are nothing more than a firelighter (unless a council car park), but waht about the ones / letters via post.
