I'm just hoping someone has some experience or advice with parking charges by 'Parking Eye'? I went to my local Sainsburys just before Christmas and I have been there many times, at least twice a week, and never before realised that there is a max 2 hours parking rule. It was extremely busy due to it being nearly Christmas, and as well as getting a huge xmas shop/presents etc I also took the kids to the café for lunch. I ended up being 2hrs and 18mins in total.
The result of this is a parking fine of £100, which would have been reduced had it been paid within 14 days to £60. Problem is I didn't know I had a fine because they don't give you a ticket, it's run on cameras which log your registration upon arrival and upon departure. We moved house recently and the post detailing the fine went to my old address. The tenants were away over xmas and didn't give it to me until after the 14 day deadline.
I've tried phoning the company to explain but they don't take telephone calls. They have an automated service to pay your fine, that's it. I sent an email, but the fact that I didn't get the letter until after the deadline was completely ignored in their response.
Basically it looks as though I have to pay £100. Gutted is an understatement, it just seems such a huge amount.
Not sure there's anything I can do, but if anyone has advice it'd be greatly appreciated.
