" Parking Eye " Like to give them " Poke in the Eye "
Went Shopping Retail Park bought few things bumped into friends, so sat in Costa Coffee chatting.!
Next week got Parking Ticket for £100 said, I overstayed the two hours permitted and accrued a fine.!
Picture showing my car entering time printed and leaving time printed.
Hang on ....... I was Shopping and using the facilities
Told by Parking Eye ....... you overstayed the permitted time and if you do not pay the fine in 28 days you will incur further costs and be taken to Court.! "What" ! you're having a Laugh.?
No we are "Parking Eye " and represent the Land Owner who's land you parked on. ?
It's a Shopping Centre ......... yes, but it's Private Land. ????
So I now find out Costa Coffee say ... If I had given them my Vehicle Reg when I came in, the fine would have been squashed.
Parking Eye asked for my receipt to say I was using Costa coffee Facility ...... Who keeps Lunch time receipts.
The permitted time of 3 hrs became 2 hrs then had been change overnight to 90 minutes. These people running Parking Eye are Ex Clamper Companies with posh Lawyer's plugging loop holes to extract blood money from easy target Motorists.
So what should I do ....... pay up .... £80 if paid within 28 days and save £20 on £100 fine. or dig in ... call their ... bluff. ? What would you do. !! BEVIS
You don't see friends for ages then you see them twice in a week. Told them about getting Parking ticket at Costa Coffee and they said they got one to.! "I said," I wasn't going to pay let them take me to Court.! "They said," they had paid the fine.? What ! ..... Why........ They said they couldn't be bothered with the hassle it was easier just to settle by paying the £80 ..... if it went to Court could end up costing hundreds of pounds. They had no receipts as I paid for Lunch and they had not bought anything Shopping so had no prof they used the facility. I don't have my Costa Coffee receipt but found my purchase receipt from "Wickes" so sent that to say I was using the facility and a genuine customer. Waiting for reply !
Conflicting Stories regard best way to avoid Parking Ticket having just got one.? Some who go to Court win, others lose.! Parking Eye quote the Bevis case win..... to intimidate people to just pay up like my friends did. I called into Costa Coffee today and asked why there was no sign to inform customers they should give their car registration to avoid the overstay Parking Ticket. "They said," as the Land Owner own's the property and they just Lease it they have to ask permission to post signs and they were told to register car numbers only if asked. ? So ! how am I supposed to know if there are no signs to tell me. ! You will have to ask Parking Eye.! I can only assume Parking Eye give the Land Owner percentage of the revenue they collect thus making it profitable to not place signs or put them where they have to be pointed out before you see them, then change them from 3 hrs to 2hrs then 90 min without notice. Smack,s of entrapment to me so I will be fighting this one all the way.
So taking an overview, the landowner would prefer thriving buisnesses. The customer drives to the often out of town store, spending money on fuel, not to mention,insurance , tax, upkeep of vehicle and then pays to park.When overstaying your time, youve breached your contract and get asked to pay a charge of normally between £80_100. And you are supposed to get excited by the 2 for 1 offers on packs of biscuits. The only Great in Britain is the Great RIP OFF. Next recession, there be free parking.lol lol lol fkg lol lol lol.

You hit the nail on the head.......... and will be my argument should we go to Court.! "Parking Eye say," When I entered the Land Owner's land ( Shopping Complex ) I agreed to the terms & conditions of use.! By overstaying I breached that contract and therefore liable to the fine. ?
