Dafydd 911
I run a small business and provide car parking for my customers, especially the disabled and elderly ones. Unfortunately the police, traffic wardens, community support officers etc do not have any authority on private property, so I have no alternative but to employ a council licensed wheel clamping company.

Nasty note on my car - what did I do to deserve it?
Hi, Luckily I didn't get a ticket on this occasion but can someone let me know where I stand with this? My sister lives in a small, relatively new cul-de-sac and I've always parked in 1 of 4 spaces marked out in the far corner when I've visited. There were never any restiction signs/markings at all but I purposely chose a…

Reclaim PCN: Scotland
I have read several posts here where the poster has advised on how to have unfair PCNs dropped. I would like to know if it is possible to retrospectivly claim back if I pay a PCN that is later proven to be unfair? I recieved 2 identical PCN within the space of 1 month, both of which I believe to be unfair and that I am 99%…

Advice about towed vehicles please!
I recently had my car towed for parking on a single yellow line. The fine was issued at 9.07am and the car was impounded by 9.17am. The parking restrictions were No Parking Mon-Sat 7.30-9.30am and 4.30-6.30pm. I genuinely misread the sign, as I parked the night before on a Friday at 8.45pm, so thought I'd be fine.…

£275 Clamp Woes
Hi Guys, I travelled to a friends house in Hull last weekend and parked in the car park behind their house. The Car Park was obviously private, had sufficient signs on the walls saying it was private, and that people would be clamped. Anyone in their right mind wouldn't do anything like that, right? My friends had lived…

Is this ticket valid
I got a parking ticket issued by the local authority today. I was parked on yellow lines, however, the lines are broken and cannot be seen for most of their length. I was always under the impression that if the lines are broken before the t-bar then any penalty is void

I got a parking ticket when parking at a large retail park with free parking. My father wasn't feeling too well on the morning so I offered to drive. He then forgot his disability badge. I drove round and found staggered parking spaces - it was really easy for my father to open his door fully to get out of the car. When…

Before seeing this article I received a "civil traffic enforcement notice" from UKPC which was issued in a Tescos car park for parking my car in a mother and child space but my vehicle was parked to one side on the yellow lines/hatched area.

How to proceed?
Hi there Thanks for a very informative forum. Reading the advice given to your readers gives me much comfort that, perhaps, the way I have dealt with a specific PPC thus far was correct (ie, ignoring all their letters and threats of legal action). However, as my car remains clamped, I need to find a solution ... without…
