  • Parking Eye Peckham London issue of notice by return of post

    Hi,

    I've received a fine from Parking Eye. I also have severe mobility difficulties and parked for the first time at their store in Peckham South London. I did some shopping which was paid for in cash but didn't notice the 2 hour limit to stay at the store. On the disabled parking space which I parked at there is no signage and nothing to indicate this is private land as the Morrisons store is also part of a shopping centre complex.

    Basically, I'm incensed that the fine was issued they obtained my details from DVLA which is a breach of my privacy rights and further that this fine is without legality. I've broken no law. I also believe it contravenes the Equalities Act for people with disabilities.

    I have written to Parking Eye. I also wrote to Morrisons who sent me an email today refusing to waive the parking fee in the interests of fairness despite them seeing a blue badge.

    Should I pay or let it go to court as I am willing to go to court.

    Please could someone advise me.

    Thank You and Merry Christmas

    Regards Gabbyco

    I would suggest that you post this problem up on the private parking forums of pepipoo.com. One of the regular contributors on there, "schoolrunmum", seems to be quite experienced with handling claims involving the Equalities act.

    Basically you refute the claim to parking eye, go via a POPLA appeal to get it thrown out and at the same time threaten to claim from Morrisons AND Parking Eye for ignoring the Equalities Act.

      Parking Eye should know that disabled persons need longer to undertake shopping. Ostell is spot-on with regards to giving Morrisons and PE a hard time and threatening them both under the Equalities Act. However, you might wish to contact the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) about that.

        Popla have bad form for anything to do with disability. http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?...=post&id=21566

        Judges however are a different story http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?...dpost&p=876787


        They easiest way to get rid of this is to appeal to parking eye and if they say no use the popla code and genuine pre estimate of loss and win. By all means mention the disability but for god sake don't rely on it or you'll perhaps need to visit court to get things done.


        Dear Sirs,

        I, as registered keeper, wish to invoke your appeals procedure. The driver did not see any signs. The driver also has a disability which falls within the remit of the Equality Act 2010 and as such reasonable adjustments should have been made and they were not. Besides this the charges are penal and not a genuine pre estimate of loss. If you should reject my appeal please supply a popla code.

        I understand that the registered keeper is under no statutory obligation to name the driver and i have no intention of doing so.

        Yours etc
