Has anyone paid to park at a Welcome Break services ?
If so, who does your bank/credit card statement say that you paid - Welcome Break or ParkingEye ? If you have a receipt, the VAT number will be equally useful Thanks |

The payments for parking at Welcome Break's are taken normally in the WHSmith shops and entered onto the ANPR system after payment.
The receipt is the same as any other from WHSmiths in Welcome Break, they don't put parking charges through any other till system. This post has been edited by trubster: Tue, 6 Feb 2018 - 00:23 |

Thanks
Parking at the location I have in mind is free to hotel guests I've therefore got a suspicion that ParkingEye's income is from the Parking Notices and Welcome Break receives the normal payments I don't however have a copy of a contract to prove it and there's a Forum thread where WB says that ParkingEye offers parking in its own name This post has been edited by Redivi: Tue, 6 Feb 2018 - 01:15 |

I've therefore got a suspicion that ParkingEye's income is from the Parking Notices and Welcome Break receives the normal payments Almost certainly true, but I fail to see a significance? -------------------- There is no such thing as a law abiding motorist, just those who have been scammed and those yet to be scammed!

It's a court case
I was trying to determine who the motorist contracted with when he paid to park and was asked for the wrong amount ParkingEye has since confirmed that it receives the payments as the contracting party and claims that the attendant that asked for the wrong amount is a third party and it's up to the motorist to check that the payment is correct |

I'm sure someone there will pay for parking (or at least there boss will and will have a receipt handy). |

It's a court case I was trying to determine who the motorist contracted with when he paid to park and was asked for the wrong amount In my opinion they contract with the entity receiving the money but that the entity the pay the money to (W H Smith?) is their agent and as such any failure by the agent is the same as a failure by the main entity, so if PE get the money by W H Smith acting as collector if WHS make a mistake thats tough on PE. The same would apply whoever the money eventually went to. However without some background as to the nature of the error its impossible to comment more fully.

That's the central argument
The payment was made along with larger purchases so the parking charge wouldn't be easily identified The driver told the entity how long he had stayed and the entity calculated the amount ParkingEye's reply to the defence says that the driver should have questioned the difference from the signs The entity had already told the driver that he'd allowed a discount |

If the correct information was given to the agent who then asked for the wrong amount to satisfy the contract then that is the fault of the agent, that's my opinion.
When you say defence, is this now at county court stage (via MCOL)? -------------------- There is no such thing as a law abiding motorist, just those who have been scammed and those yet to be scammed!

It's my opinion as well
Yes it is a defended case I'll have to contact the Defendant because he hasn't mentioned a DQ |
