Parking Eye Ltd are trying to fine us. But before Christmas when parking at Morrisons all the payment machines had notes saying that they are not working. But at the start of the new year we had the first letter with a fine. Which I have ignored and will not pay. We parked for 3hrs .14 mins after shopping in Neath but also doing our Morrisons shop and having a meal there. Has anyone else had this problem

Rip it up, chuck it in the bin and forget about it. It's not worth the paper it's written on.
I agree with Sherpa above - horrendous advice!
Don't rip them up and put them in the bin. Do what I do with the 100 plus 'invoices' I've had over the last 10 years and put them in a neat little folder so you can show your kids/grandkids at a later, more suitable time.
AMOW

You can ignore if you wish, many parking companies don't take drivers to court. Parking eye do, by the thousand.
You will get numerous invoices and reminders from parking eye, ignore these if you wish.
They will follow this up with a letter before court action, best not to ignore.
Then you may get some stuff from Northampton county court business centre. It looks amateur ish, and you may think it a scam, if you ignore this you will get a ccj against you by default.
Then the next time you apply for a mortgage, loan, credit card or mobile phone you will be turned down.
Do not pay them a penny, they are thieving scrum, but don't ignore them, they will abuse the small claims court to screw you over.
Go to Morrison's with your receipt and don't leave until they've agreed to cancel it.

Horrendous advice.
Do not ignore parking eye. They do court and ccjs
Do not pay them either, there are numerous sources of help, from money saving expert to fight your private parking notice on face book amongst others.
Best starting point is take your receipt to Morrison's, kick up a,stink and get them to cancel it.
Yeah good advice sherps, my missus got done twice in a week a few years back at Morfa Morrison's, so I went to see the manager and ripped him anew one and told him that we good customers and that my missus was having a meal which arrived late thus making her late.If you have too stand in the middle of the shop and cause a stink,seemed to work,tickets duely cancelled.

You say don't pay them a penny, but what happens when Morrisons tell him they won't rescind the ticket? Then pay it? Ignore it?
I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

Don't accept no for an answer from Morrison's.
Its their fault the machines weren't working.
Might be worth checking with neath council if there is planning permission for Parking lies signs in the car park. If there isn't , and there rarely is, tell the manager parking eye and Morrison's are committing a, criminal offence under the town and country planning act.
Even if all this fails, there are still numerous routes to take as advised by MSE and Parking prankster forums amongst others.
Ignoring these things is more of a risk than it used to be. I had one in Parc Tawe a year or so ago (not sure which company runs that one) and I wrote them a very polite letter explaining why it was absolutely impossible for me to have overstayed in the way they alleged. My reasons were entirely fictional but I never heard anything else about it. I doubt I've got a CCJ as we got a mortgage just a few months ago.
The fella who dishes out the tickets in morrisons is actually a nice guy. He's getting on a bit and they stick him out in all weathers. I got a ticket there once, I'd only popped in for a birthday card but we had a bit of banter and I bought him a cup of tea because it was effing freezing and he cancelled my ticket.
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

First time I've heard of "bought him a cup of tea because it was effing freezing" being used to substitute for the term "delivering an angry hand job". :p

Northampton county court is not an actual court , it's an administrative bulk handling centre. There is no legally trained person there, the summonses will be made up by the parking firm, it's a scam. There's lot's about this on YouTube etc

No they are not as you have paid for the ticket, they are trying to penalise you
Yes they are. Their argument is that a contract is formed when you agree to the terms and conditions on the signs in and around the car park, and you break that contract by, for example, parking for longer than the "allowed" time. I'm not saying I agree with that view.
But I agree that the charges they attempt to levy are swingeing and an attempt to profit at the expense of drivers.

The contract would be for the time you parked, which you have accepted and paid for.The contract would expire after this time. Any time over that and they can sue for loss of revenue , which would be for the time your overspent, probably the next hour or so. A penalty of £100 would not be enforceable, and any judge who enforces that would be acting unlawfully and outside of his or her jurisdiction - they know this too, whether they choose to do this is up to them at the time, but if it was challenged on these grounds then no case would happen
