Lost in court
I lost in county court today v Parking Eye. Seething! The judge accepted my arguments that the entrance sign was facing the wrong way, the key sign that would have brought the terms to my attention was missing (it was on the site plan), therefore I could not see a sign when I parked. The claimants assertion that I walked…

Car park fine
Company is that Euro Car park one and they have issued a fine for staying in their car park for more than 2 hours. However, I was charging my electric car using the very slow chargers on there.

Hi, My husband parked on street, and got a parking charge from UKCPS. Apparently you couldn’t park there as it’s private land which he didn’t know. I appealed using the template and it got rejected. However I didn’t realise they aren’t part of BPA and so cannot appeal at POPLA. They sent another letter for the same…

No response: No contract
Fed up with no replies to my queries.

UKCPS Moorside alleged overstay.
Hello I got a NtK from UKCPS after overstaying in a retail park in Skegness. I've enacted Plan A to the site owner and retailers. I've also tried to appeal (blue template) as the RK to the PPC via the website on the back of the NtK but it doesn't work. There's no way to select 'reason' so it appears to have defaulted to…
