Anyone have experince with a restaurant Parking Ticket?

Bought the wife a car but now "Parking Eye" have sent me a £60 parking ticket for her exceeding the parking time at a Strabucks by 3 mins. The internet seems confused in terms of wether this is easy to contest or not, so any non Zoltaneers out there with experience with this issue that can advise please. And no it's not a dogging spot she was waiting on our daughter finishing a job interview, but thanks in advance for those who wanted to throw that bit in. Cheers.

If the sign was clear and the exceeded time is correct then you have to pay I’m afraid

Ingore it can't be enforced, plus your allowed 5 or 10 minutes leeway.

Your wife spent 1hr 53 minutes in a Starbucks car park??

Righto.

Let's face facts here, she probably earned more than £60 in that time. Make her pay it.

Ive ignored every one i've had and nothing has happened. There is the possibility they'll take you to court but I never have.

Read through this, follow their instructions, use their sample letter and you won’t pay a thing.

I deal with these companies on a daily basis. Dont listen to the internet lawyers and ignore the notices. They are enforceable and more and more companies are taking people to court.

If the time has been exceeded then my advice would be to pay it.

Can't you just pay it from the profits of your highly successful Reggae Reggae Sauce? Tightwad.

Anyone telling you to pay this is talking out of their arse.

First you appeal, that’s a no brainier given that the worst that can happen is they decline the appeal.

Secondly, use the letter I posted a link to to appeal, do it exactly as they say and then the appeal will be successful.

Or pay, without bothering to send an email, because someone on here is talking bollocks.

I'm assuming you meant the royalties from 'Reach Out, I'll Be There' and that was a typo.

No, don't pay, fuck them.

I got one from them. I appealed using the MSE process, was unsucessful. I then appealed to POPLA or whomever they are and I lost that too and was told to pay up.

Never heard another dickey bird from them. Not even a 'Haha, we win' letter. Nothing.

Simple fact is it will cost them at LEAST £300 to start a county court claim and then they will have to pay someone to turn up. If you turn up and they don't then you win by default, not that it's gonna get that far.

They send out hundreds of these letters. A certain % will just pay up. That's their business plan, they know not everyone will pay. Their letters look scary but they are all computer generated sales process letters. They will stop, just bin them.

I have spoken to the owners of companies like parking eye.
They are starting to take people to court and are paying the fees.

Just show evidence you was a customer thats all you need.

The only ones you don't ignore are from the council. The amount I've ignored over the years, even if the next one takes me to court it'd still be a net gain. Some of these hawk firms are basically run as professional money extortioners.

If you were drinking in the Starbucks for most/all of that time then ring up the branch and tell them to contact the parking company and recind the ticket.

Same thing happened to me about 3 months ago and they’re basically trying to fine people who aren’t customers.

Re: Anyone have experince with a restaurant Parking Ticket?

Cheers Mr 1979, that was easy. Fine now cleared, nowt on the internet about that, took less than 5 minutes for them to fix. Excellent idea!
