POPLA Appeal
I am a student living in Leeds. On 29 October, I pulled into the Aire Street car park to pick up a friend who was arriving at Leeds railway station. My friend's train was late and I stayed a little longer than I anticipated. I subsequently received a PCN from ParkingEye claiming that I had been there for 15 minutes and…
Parking Eye fine
Got a Parking eye notice for parking at a place for a while without a ticket overstayed for less than an hour. Have looked at the thread for new people. Should I start preparing the appeal or should I start email the hospital? Is there any point in bringing up blue badge in this situation? The place is a hospital.
Parking Charge Notice
Hi, I have received a parking charge notice in the post from parking eye for £100 or £60 if paid with 28 days which I am going to appeal. Am I right that this letter should of been received within 14 days of the alleged offence? I received my letter 27th Dec, date of event was 11th Dec and the letter was dated 20th Dec but…
G24 Parking Appeal Stage 2
Having received a lovely PCN from G24, I followed the advice given on this site (newbies thread) and replied using the template provided. G24 rejected my appeal and replied using what looks like a standard response letter (they must be receiving quite a few of these template letters). I am saying this because they replied…

There is nowhere near here called that, and the only one I…

PCN Northwest Parking Enforcement Carlisle DFS
Hi new to this site and hope to get a bit of help. I recently received a PCN at DFS car park in Carlisle. I am initially writing to the Manager but would like some advice re Northwest Parking Enforcement and the IAS.

Paying for parking in the first place
OK so I know this forum's mainly about dealing with bogus "fines" which are really simply requests for payment, and the technical aspects of dealing with PPCs. But. Supposing someone hypothetically worked somewhere that charges a not-insignificant sum (multiple pounds, rather than pence) to park there all day, while said…
