Parking tickets, fines & parking

Smart parking ticket for 13 min overstay
Dear all, I received a PCN (£60) from smart parking for what I assume was a 13 mins overstay. Photographic evidence shows that we entered Fistral Beach car park at 14:10 and left at 15:29. I still have the receipt which shows that I paid for 1 hour stay at 14:16 (I checked and car reg number is correct), so I assume we…
Interesting Changes Afoot to the BPA Code of Practice.
Whether these are in anticipation of the DCLG consultation results, or as an attempt to head them off, or maybe they've just been tipped off - time will tell. Some of these changes are interesting. http://notomob.co.uk/discussions/index.php?topic=6037.0
CEL Angry, Stressed, Scared...Help please
Hello, Having read NEWBIE threads and many other threads, I am now very stressed as I've clearly done several things wrong. I'm a hospital worker where my trust runs a parking permit (struck to car window) and parking voucher (a booklet of tickets a new ticket displayed for each parking session) for workers. As a part-time…

UKPC second warning letter by post
My husband got a parking ticket in my car from UKPC in a free, retail car park for not parking within the lines. He ignored the on screen ticket as he said it was not legally enforceable.

Highview Parking Urban Exchange Advice
Hello, I've come here to seek advice on an ongoing parking fine issue I have with Highview Parking, particularly at Urban Exchange.

ParkingEye Fine Morrisons
Hi, First post and first time I've received a parking fine so a little inexperienced here. I was parked in a Morrisons garage in Peckham and received a Parking Charge Notice. The PCN was issued on 26th of April. The charge amount is £100, or £60 if paid within 14 days. The time in car park it says here is 2 hours and 43…

UKPC POPLA appeal rejected. Where to go from here?
Hi there. First of all I have read the newbies section, several times, it's very useful, but some of it a little no specific or confusing. I'll start by explaining how I was issued the ticket. I pulled into a free UKPC car park, it's at a town hall near some shops. The regulations are that you get a ticket, and you can…

An Idea to fight back private PCN's
Hi all, I was wondering if we can get volunteering solicitors to represent people who get those PCN. I guess if those car park companies get the same solicitor name(s) representing and appealing against lots of their tickets, things might change, they will see a seriousness in fighting back this scam. What do you think?
Country Court Business and CEL Parking Fine.
Hi I recently got a letter through from CEL and Country court Business centre saying that I owed £326.72 for parking in a retail park. I remember parking in the car park and genuinely didn’t know that it used ANPR cameras to monitor cars coming and going. Maximum time allowed was 1 hour and I overstayed by 22 minutes. I…
