Blue Badge Holders
Seeing as the people most likely to fall for the scammers and pay up (because they are honest decent people, often vulnerable) I`D LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT BLUE BADGE RULES DO NOT APPLY ON PRIVATE LAND! So if you get a bogus parking charge for flaunting one of these regs it is just another RUSE to con you out of your hard…

Stopping ticket
After being back a month from holiday and using East Midlands Airport a stopping ticket from Apcoa has arrived requesting £100 for stopping or £50 if I pay within 2 weeks.

Excel Parking Fine
It looks like I am one of numerous people fined by Excel Parking for parking in one of their 'zones' and have received a PCN. All of the research I've done so far includes the advice to not pay despite any letters that are sent and that they don't take you to court. The problem is that I really can't afford to get involved…

Civil Penalty Charge Notice from private company...
Am I right in thinking a private company is not allowed to call their ticket a penalty charge? Or does the word 'civil' make a difference? I've received a ticket from a bunch of clowns but it's got 'Civil Penalty Charge Notice' on the ticket and sticker. It also says all appeals must be sent with full payment and it will…

Perhaps a different Blue Badge on private land issue.
I had been reading forum topics relating to parking issues on this forum and Pepipoo for a few months, mainly out of interest and not because I had any private parking issues. Inspired by what I had read on the forums I decided to challenge a large college. The college had decided to put up signs in a car park I use…

High view court threat
Good evening. My girlfriend has now got a threatening letter from high view saying they will take her to court if she does not pay the fine in 7 days. I think she might be tempted to pay but I think it's simply scaremongering. Is it still the case that she should ignore these letters and not respond at all?

I am the registered keeper of the car and have received many letters from the car parking partnership and other companies such as PS&P demanding various amounts.

Parking Notice frm Town & City Parking Ltd
I was driving my partner's car yesterday to drop off some items at a charity shop on a site shared with ASDA.

Perky In The Eye

I quote:- So will the BPA, which runs the the industry self-regulatory Approved Operator Scheme (AOS), finally pull its finger out and clamp down on companies that flagrantly break the rules? It seems…
