    Parking fine.

    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.

    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).

    Thanks

    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.

        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.

          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.

          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"?

              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!!

                The obvious question,

                What were you doing there in the first place?

                If you were a customer of the premises you were visiting, then id write to the store in question and throw some serious fucks into them

                    That is a good point by Paul if it was for shopping and you was in a stores car park which had a 1 hr limit say how many people get there shopping done and dusted in an hr not many if any at all

                      Re: Parking fine.

                      Hey you want to know the best way of getting out of a parking fine.....

                      ER how about parking/paying for the correct time..........

                      It actually does quite annoy me when carparks/metres/bays have clearly up the charges and penalites and yet people still decide that it is their right to park then and then moan if they have overstayed their parking at getting a fine.....

                      I understand sometimes there is an emergency and you can't help being late - yep I've done that and got a fine - but i just paid it.

                      Recently both myself and Mr Loo got parking tickets overturned - my ticket that was stuck to my windscreen came unstuck (hottest day of the year!) and after some moaning and the proof that I had acutally paid for over 5 hours of parking they overturned it - and Mr Loo similar as he shut the door the ticket blew off on to the passenger seat - again (different council) after someone moaning they over turned it - but in both these cases we had both paid for parking for correct amount of time.

                      I'm sure this is not going to be a popular comment.... but hey ho

                      O and I also recently got a ticket for a no left turn - very annoying - was in a place i wasn't sure of and followed someone else...... ugh stupid of me.. but nothing I could do but to pay up.

                        Re: Parking fine.

                        Fair points all, but can I point out its not me this relates to please.

                        As to if they were shopping all the time, I dont know, but doubt it.

                        The fine is for overstaying on a free car park - two hours I think and car was there just over three.

                          Re: Parking fine.

                          Well sorry if the sign was clear that it was free for 2 hours only - then 2 hours only it is (we have a few free bays around like that near where I work at weekends and they are very clearly marked Mon-Sat 9.30-5.30 - permit holders or 2 hours free but no return within a 4 hour period).

                          Paul I noticed you said about contacting the shop (if it was a shop carpark?) I was wondering about this as our local M and S used to have free parking for first hour. They then changed it to 50p (but you get that back on your shopping) but when they changed over there was a big sign as you went in saying - please not changes to parking charges and M and S do not accept any repsonbility for people getting clamped/charged ou need to contact the parking company (obv was worded a bit better than that)

                            Also:
                            1. Did anyone see him doing it?
                            2. With whom (if anyone) was he doing it?
                            3. Were any horses frightened thereby?

                              As the "Parking Charge Notice" described by Oscar was not issued on behalf of a council, it would appear that you have missed the point(s) being made.
