Parking Eye fine - cameras set to wrong time

I was recently pinged by Parking Eye for a £100. It turned out they had forgotten to move all their camera clocks in the same car park back by one hour so a drive in out without parking was clocked as 1 hour and 1 minute not just 1 minute. Probably elsewhere and people did not realise the extra hour was wrong so not a fair penalty, please warn your readers.

Thanks for letting us know about this.

You can appeal parking fines on private land for free through POPLA (see www.popla.co.uk/) but you will need evidence to support your appeal. If that isn't successful you can seek advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau.
