Most Ticket Appeals Succeed
In some circumstances, you might have a legitimate reason not to pay your Parking Eye fine.
It’s a bit sneaky, but the last time I needed legal advice, I paid £5 for a trial to chat with an online solicitor called JustAnswer.
Not only did I save £50 on solicitor fees, I also won my case and didn’t have to pay my £271 fine.

*According to Martin Lewis, 56% of people who try to appeal their ticket are successful and get the charge overturned, so it’s well worth a try.
Have you received a court summons?
A Parking Eye court summons is exactly how it sounds. It’s a summons to attend a court hearing where Parking Eye will ask the judge to make you pay.
You can either defend yourself (with or without legal services) or you might not defend yourself and Parking Eye will win an automatic judgment for you to pay, namely a County Court Judgment.
You may still have the option to avoid court action by contacting Parking Eye and paying the fine. Allowing the matter to escalate to court and losing the case will result in further expenses.
You can also go up against Parking Eye in court by stating reasons why you think you shouldn’t have to pay. For example, you might state that the car park signage didn’t conform to legal standards. You might need a solicitor that specialises in private parking cases to help you win your case – if at all possible.
Do ParkingEye take people to court?
Parking Eye may or may not take you to court. Sometimes they threaten court action as a tactic to scare people and make them pay the invoice. But they could also really mean it and you could be taken to court.
Some people take the risk and ignore Parking Eye after reading success stories online. Others don’t want to take the risk of court action and pay it off.

Parking Eye court summons
When Parking Eye weren’t bluffing, you’ll receive a court summons. Just like this person’s family member did:
“Around a year ago, a few people I knew got parking tickets from Parking Eye and ignored them, and never heard back. But a few months ago, a family member received one, ignored it like others have and then got sent a Northamptonshire Court Summons letter from Parking Eye. The ticket was from over staying in a car park in Cambridge.”

What happens after court action?
If you defend yourself in court, you will either win or lose the case.
If you win the case a judge will tell you that you don’t have to pay the Parking Charge Notice. And if you lose the case you’ll be ordered to pay Parking Eye.
If you’re told to pay PArking Eye but don’t, they could then ask the courts to use debt enforcement action. Once approved, they could use various methods to enforce payment, including the use of bailiffs.
There are Parking Eye court cases that have escalated to the use of bailiffs. But hopefully, you can resolve the matter before it gets to this, as bailiff fees are expensive for you.

Can they remove a CCJ?
Only a court can set aside a County Court Judgment (CCJ) but it can be encouraged if the claimant agrees that the CCJ should be set aside.
The best way to get a CCJ set aside is to pay off the debt in full to Parking Eye. They will be more willing to consent to the CCJ being set aside once they have their money.
