Why do you need to reply to a PCN?
I know from reading this website that the advice is now to reply to a PCN rather than ignore it, however, I'm not sure why? If you ignore a PCN, they may take you to the small claims court but if they do, they still need to prove who was driving, their contract with the landowner, loss incurred etc etc, so as long as the…

A new tactic for IAS appeals (and PoPLA if GPEOL no longer works)?
Just throwing this out for discussion. Feel free to tear it apart if I've missed something significant. Right, so you've got your NtK. You now wait until a day or two after the deadline for appealing, and send in your appeal, which of course will be refused for being late. You reply to every subsequent letter received…

Excel PCN, odd letter
Hi, sorry if this has already been covered but I've searched through and couldn't see anything about it. The driver of my vehicle received a PCN for a 22 min unpaid for (completely forgot to pay!) stay in a car park in Brierley Hill. The parking took place on 22nd December 2014, and the "Issue date of this notice" is…

Apparently appealed in time - no popla codec
Hi. I received an initial notice from highview then a reminder and then a legal action pending letter. Hadn't bothered to appeal by this stage - naughty me. Thing is the 'legal action pending'letter told me to pay within 14 days but the reverse of that very notice still gave me the option to appeal within 28 days…

UKCPS Payments
Ok guys, So I've seen some threads on this but nothing with anyone who has actually made a payment. So I've got a load of parking tickets issued by the dreaded UKCPS, 14 to be exact. Today I rang the debt collectors and stupidly made a payment of £70 to get them off my back as I'm fed up of getting loads of threatening…

PCN received - please advise
Hello, I received a PCN from Minster Baywatch (they are a BPA member) a few days ago. It was in a pay and display carpark that I park in every day for work and normally pay for using an app. I thought I had on the day in question but it must not have gone through. I have read the newbie thread but have a couple of…

Parking Eye Appeal
Hello, I have received a Parking Notice Charge from the above as I apparently overstayed the 2 hours free parking at a small retail park by 11 minutes. The charge is £100, discounted to £60 for payment by 21 May. I have read the information on other threads but unless I've missed it, can't find the answer to the following:…

PCN - Appeal after 21 days or wait for NTK
Dear experts I've received a PCN posted to a car. For reference this occurred in England and the PPC are a member of the BPA. I've read through a lot of the newbie FAQ's but there appears to be some conflicting advice. Should I appeal after 21 days or wait for the Notice to keeper to arrive first then appeal? Your help is…

Additional Costs on Court Papers being issued?
Hi, My wife parked on a Private Eye operated Car Park at a hospital. The car park in question was previously pay and display but had changed to number plate recognition system. My wife wasnt aware of the change in system (despite signage) and purchased a ticket on parking as per the previous system. We subsequently had…

Appeal Rejected
I will try to keep this as short as possible: Basically a couple of weeks ago my mother had left her car parked at my house while she was away on holiday. She was due to arrive home by bus fairly late so I agreed to drop her car off at a private car park across from the bus station. My husband drove her car and I followed…

Notice to keeper but no windscreen ticket
Hi, On the 4th of April I found a windscreen ticket when I parked on staples car park and left the premises (it was the Saturday after good Friday) then after doing a research I appealed the ticket by sending them the appeal template that BMPA advised me. However I still don't have any reply from them. In the meantime…

ParkingEye - charges paid on the day
On Sunday 26 April parking charges of £4.50 were paid to park in a private pay and display car park on Aire Street in Leeds. The person who paid these charges for parking was surprised at the cost at the time given it was a Sunday afternoon and the charges were not as advertised on hoarding surrounding the parking area…

Today I received a parking charge notice for £100 (£60 if I pay by 21 May i.e. 10 days) stating that I either stayed longer than permitted or did not purchase the appropriate parking time. I only stayed there for 3 hours 45…

UKPC - Parking notice in Cambridge
Hi guys, So back at the end of March I got a windscreen ticket from UKPC. I quickly checked these forums and decided to wait for a postal notice which arrived about a week and a bit ago. I've been reading the forums and think I know what to do but thought I'd confirm before since I have seen another member using a…

G24 in a Private Road
Apologies for yet another G24 thread but after searching the forum and Newbies section I can find nothing similar. A private residential road near our local secondary school has recently started displaying G24 signs threatening action against parking. This cul de sac has been used for years as a drop off point by a few…

Ticket from smart parking
Hi, I've read the useful facts on the forum but I'm still a little confused. Someone borrowed my car today and was issued a windscreen ticket for £70 for parking in a loading bay. They ran in to get a key cut. Anyway where do I stand? I've been given the ticket but I presume they need to also write to me? I've had a ticket…

UKPC fold at first appeal stage.
Firstly I would like to thank the fabulous guys and girls that spend their free time helping others to beat these parking Cowboys. Long story short I was given a Parking Charge Notice by UKPC for 'leaving the site' at Vastern Court in Reading. Luckily before appealing via their appeals portal I decided to google them and…
