Why is it so difficult trying to speak to someone at ParkingEye?

Speaking to a human at ParkingEye shouldn’t be as difficult as it really is. For starters, if you click on the ParkingEye contact page on their website, it gives no way to contact you. Instead, it tries to palm you off onto FAQs and other pages.

This is quite common for companies that really don’t want to speak to their “customers”. It may also be because the company doesn’t have the budget to provide extensive customer service, which probably isn’t the case for one of the UK’s most successful car park management companies.

They also know that most calls they would receive are probably going to be from angry motorists who have received a parking ticket. So, instead of making it easy to contact them to discuss this, they provide a detailed page on how to make such an appeal.

How do I speak to someone at ParkingEye?

The only number that is known to work if you want to speak to someone at ParkingEye is 0330 555 4444. To speak to someone you will need to enter your parking ticket number.

There is also this number that was posted on an online forum in 2014:

When I tried the numbers above myself, both numbers took me to an automated menu for ParkingEye.

Resolver states that Parking Eye won’t respond to generic queries over the phone and you will need to write to them or use the online portal which is used to pay or appeal the ticket.

So, there is a chance you may not get to speak with someone at Parking Eye by calling the above numbers.

But, do you need to speak to someone at ParkingEye?

The good news is that you don’t need to speak with anyone at ParkingEye to make an informal or formal parking ticket appeal. So you can fight back without picking up the phone. But you will need to make the appeal within 28 days.

Is ParkingEye legally enforceable?

Private parking tickets can be enforced by the County Court if the vehicle owner refuses to pay and legal action is taken.

However, it’s often unknown whether the car parking management company will pursue litigation or not. And the judge will need to agree that the fine should be paid.

This can be quite difficult to wrap your head around, which is why I already wrote a blog on the subject of enforcing private car park fines.

What happens if I ignore ParkingEye?

If you ignore Parking Eye they might take legal action to make you pay, or you may just keep receiving threats of court action and see penalties get added to the alleged amount owed.

On the other hand, they might take legal action which could make you subject to a court order to pay. Moreover, the debt will increase during this process.

It will increase even further if you still refuse to pay and have to deal with bailiffs. That’s right, Parking Eye could then ask to enforce the debt using bailiffs and they might even be able to apply for money to be taken from your wages to clear the debt and any accumulated interest on it.

Should I pay a parking fine from ParkingEye?

To 100% avoid the risk of being subject to a court claim and a bigger debt, you may want to pay the fine.

But before you do that, you can exercise your right to make a parking ticket appeal. I’ll come back to this later.

Because before you make a claim, many people try to speak to a real human at ParkingEye, which has proved more difficult than you would expect.

Good excuses for a private parking ticket appeal

To make your first appeal, you simply have to send a letter stating why you want to appeal and provide as much proof as possible. I’ve created a free letter template to save you time and get your letter right.

There are also lots of great reasons to make an appeal and win, such as:

Inadequate parking signage
Only overstaying by 5 minutes or less
Breaking down or being in an emergency situation

What happens if your appeal gets rejected?

If ParkingEye rejects your appeal you can take the matter further by making the appeal to POPLA instead. This is an independent panel which will look at the facts and either tell you to pay or tell ParkingEye to rip up the ticket.
