My darling wife parked beyond the 2 free hours in a private car park and I got the letter from 
ng Eye as per the usual drill. I have ignored (with no acknowledgement to them) the letters that followed.
Fast forward a few months, we get a letter from Rossendales telling us we owe them the money or else the doorstep caller or court could be called for.
What's the situation with these guys? They clain that their client is Vehicle Control Services.
Cheers in advance...

k them.Whilst I agree being charged a lot of money to stay additional time in a free car park, or indeed a cheap car park is extremely annoying I am not sure what the solution is.
Now I accept that the law says that the charge should relate to the money lost but the problem comes that if there is no enforcement then it will be a free for all and the parking will be full all day every day and you won't be able to park.
If enforcement action has to be taken because some can't stick to the rules why should those who can obey the rules pay for that enforcement? Surely ts only fair (ignoring the law for present) that the costs of enforcement should be paid by those that can't obey the rules?
Incidentally its interesting that Rossendales have been appointed as I believe that Parking Eye is owned by Capita, and whilst Capita own some Bailiff firms I dont believe they own Rossendales.

Why would you not pay?
Because he wasn't born yesterday....No loss has been incurred by them (their costs of enforcement are a routine business cost and would have occurred regardless), whit do they think they're owed?

The whole world just wants to do stuff then not sort it out. Gets right up my nose to be honest

Are you happy for people to borrow your stuff when you're not using them? Or park in your driveway whenever they feel like it?No loss has been incurred by them (their costs of enforcement are a routine business cost and would have occurred regardless), whit do they think they're owed?

Simple obey the rules and you won't get a ticket.
