#1 Need help with ParkingEye CCJ mess (England)
on 29 Sep, 2025 11:13 in Private parking tickets
Hi all,Hoping someone here can point me in the right direction for this boring issue I've faced with ParkingEye in England.Long story short:- I parking in a fully legal way for my son’s skating lessons at a Better Gym Lee Valley ice rink. No ticket was ever required- I must have mistyped my plate, and ParkingEye issued a ticket.- I disputed them but they rejected this - even though Better Gyms supported I was not requiring a ticket- I then moved house, updated DVLA with new details, but court papers went to my old address.- ParkingEye got a default CCJ as I was not aware of the case- When I realized this, I paid £300 to have the judgment set aside.- A new court date was issued, but it clashed with a holiday I had already booked- I called the court helpline, was told to email Edmonton court with evidence which I did prior to the court date - however, this was never acknowledged (I called the helpline couple of times which they have documented)- The court date came/went and the case dismissed as I couldn't attend- Since July I have emailed, called and even visited the court with no follow-up- Now I’m out £300 and it looks like I may need to pay again and restart the process.At this point I do believe I need legal help....Quick few questions for the community:- Is there a way to escalate when the court does not respond?- Do I really have to pay the set-aside fee again?- Any advice for law firm which could help with this?Thanks again for reading this long and boring story! Any advice is highly appreciated.Thank you!Violet
