Des' Dad Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Pulled in to Aldi, Gorgie Road car park before the Hamilton game to look at their computers and decided to leave the car there until after the game. Now got a Parking Charge Notice from a company called Parking Eye which states I was caught on camera entering at 12.50 and leaving at 14.55 and I would need to pay them ?70. Does anyone know if I have a legal obligation to pay this or can I ignore it? Anyone been in the same position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happened to me in the same car park. They sent me two letters, one with photos of my car etc. I ignored them completely and haven't heard from them since.

graygo Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 As said above, ignore!! What you have is an invoice not a fine. Be prepared for some threatening letters though and promises to take you to court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartsfc_fan Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 If you parked and "used" their shop, then I don't see what they can do about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Even funnier if the threats come from an English company, they threaten you with things that they can't touch you with under Scottish law, I had fun with my pursuers until they gave up, I was disappointed when they gave up as I was enjoying the thrill of the chase Under no circumstances pay up Des's dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, its the not entering into correspondence that lets them know you know your rights and stops them pestering you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Ignore them! You'll get 2 or 3 threatening letters from them, possibly 2 from a debt collection agency and maybe another 1 or 2 from a lawyer. If you don't answer they'll lose interest in you and move on to an easier target. If you do answer you'll be marked as a "responder" and get extra letters. Despite the threats keep ignoring them and don't even attempt to appeal - there is no effective appeals process.

Enjoy ignoring, don't weaken and if your stuck for a place to park before the next home game, you could always try the Aldi car park on Gorgie Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
