Hi Forum, I'm back again with another PCN—this time for parking slightly outside a white line. I've already submitted the standard template appeal to UKPC, which was unsurprisingly rejected. They've now issued me a POPLA code. Would it be worth proceeding with an appeal to POPLA? If so, is there an up-to-date template I…

In 2024 PEEL Ports / ManchesterShip Co managed to push through an update to this small bridge’s ancient Byelaws allowing them to update the 12p a crossing fee collected manually at a booth to a new ANPR Toll system with online payments. I’m sure you know where I’m going with this. The justification for this was to cover…

Hi, The car was parked in a retail car park in London. UKPC claim that the car wasn't parked in the bay. The photos don't show any bay line being crossed but UKPC claim that the vehicle blocked such lines, so the photos don't show it. In the POPLA appeal, UKPC uploaded random photos of some other signs and also map of…

Hello again all, So this is due in court this Friday and a week ago the claimant submitted an additional witness statement to be added as evidence from their head of legal. The question I have is can I ask the evidence not to be allowed due to it being submitted so close to trial date? It was submitted to the court and…

Hi all, I hope I am not going to annoy anyone by starting a thread on this as I can see it has been covered a million times before! I have read the sticky over and over and in all honesty I have confused myself with what I actually need to do! The story - Back in June after the car that we were travelling in to the airport…

Hi, Every weekday morning my partner drops our child off at the bus stop, parking in Waitrose. Then pops in Waitrose for a small shop and then returns later to pick him and do more shopping. The system is picking him entering at 4.45pm and then suggesting he is leaving the next day. This so far has reached £500, all 5…

DO NOT PAY ANY OF THE PARKING COMPANIES ISSUING DROP-OFF PCNs. Advice will change as & when the Government introduce the new statutory Code of Practice and new Appeals Service. And when the companies concerned finally learn (after statutory regulation forces them) how to treat consumers fairly and put up clear signs.…

Hi all. Newbie here so I hope I’m doing this correctly 🙏. I have 2 parking charges I am disputing at the moment and I would be really grateful if anyone has any advice or suggestions. I feel so strongly that these charges are unfair that I haven’t paid either charge and now have the charges going up. First is from…

Apologies if I should not have started a new thread, but I have searched and cannot find anything similar, I was the driver and the fee is payable. I've had an appeal to Euro Car Parks rejected because they cannot tie up my payment with the registration of my car, in spite of sending them a copy of the bank statement…

Hi. I have a ticket from Norwich airport for stopping momentarily. The ticket is issued by VCS but now I have received a n1 claim form from elms legal limited about a ccj. Issued 7th Oct I have no admitted any liability as the car used is a taxi and used by many drivers but unfortunately I lease the car out to them. I have…

Hello everyone, I've received a Letter of Claim and, after reading through several posts on here, decided to start a new thread to ask for some advice. Do you think it's worth defending this claim, or would I be better off settling it? The situation is as follows: I was in London for work and parked my car late at night.…

Hi all, first and foremost what a great forum, there is so much information, advice and guidance here. Thank you for all your work. I have received a N1 SDT for a parking breach incurred by another driver in my vehicle and Parking Eye are now chasing me as the owner as they don't know the identity of the driver. I intend…

Hi All When googling for some information on my case I just found this great forum where many cases been solved successfully thanks of all of you guys, so I would really seek for advice on my case. As on title, I have received the Court Claim Form with issue date 18/02/2026 from BW Legal on behalf of Britannia Parking that…

Hi Apologies how long winded this seem, but the details matter to help give you a clear picture. I used to work for Evri (don't judge), and when I started the depot we had to go to to collect the parcels to deliver had cameras up and I did see some signs re parking but as nobody from Evri H/O y email or their staff at the…

Hi, Like many others on the thread, was caught out using the Starbucks car park and entering McDonalds late at night in August 2026. Based on advice from this website I appealed this with MET Parking. This was rejected and I appealed again via POPLA. I did not identify the driver. MET have responded to the POPLA appeal…

Hi all, I received a CCJ to an old address from G24 ltd regarding a parking event in May 2025. I was able to collect my old mail from my previous address included the POC and all threatenings mails from DCBL Baliffs. After reading the NEWBIES posts and related subthreads, I prepared a letter for DCBL to set aside the court…

Hello all I just wanted to check that the following advice is still valid (as at June 2026) as there does not seem to be any recent threads. NoPC left on car parked at a TfL tube carpark Ignore it. Wait to receive Notice to Keeper (NTK). If an NTK is received, appeal using the language below. SABA will refuse the appeal…

Hi Guys This was September last year. They sent the PCN, reminder, LOC (to which I replied with my address for service) and now got the county court claim document dated 2nd June. I am going to do the MCOL and AOS I guess I can use the template from the template defence thread, coupan-mad's post last edited 12th Feb is the…

Hi forum, I have skimmed the advice in this section. In truth I did not do it originally because this is about a parking ticket ticket that was paid but escalated to a debt collection company anyway. On xx May 2026 I used a car park run by oneparkingsolution. On exit I paid at the payment kiosk which was next to the park…
