Parking tickets, fines & parking

Hi There I am only at Stage 2 of the First Eight stages - Ignoring them. But I wanted to start a specific thread for possible assistance with witness statement and in case they don't discontinue. I hope that is ok. So: 'Incident' occurred August 2025. Parking Charge Notices came through the post at some point thereafter…

Firstly, thank you to the regular contributors to this forum for giving hope of an alternative to paying off these claims! VCS are pursuing me as registered keeper for two alleged infringements of the "no stopping" rule at EMA, five minutes apart. So far, I've been following the advice from the newbies thread. I've…

Hi I am a newbie here and previously used to pay all the PCNs and CCJs. I went through the newbie thread but could not understand the related defence/action to be taken in each cases listed below. So I contacted DCBlegal recently to explain that TESCO wrongly issued the PCN, which I appealed earlier as I had the receipts…

Hi everyone, I've received a PCN stating that "obstructive parking is a contravention at the site." However, the car was never actually parked - passengers were still inside, waiting for a disabled family member. The warden took photos from a long distance and is claiming the car was parked, but if they had taken closer…

Got a PCN from Civil enforcement ltd because I forgot to enter my reg when I parked at my GP surgery car park reserved for patients to attend an appointment. I provided proof of appointment so they reduced fine to £20 which I refused to pay cause this car park was built for patients use and CEL were supposedly brought in…

Hi All, First of all I'd like to say thank you for all the hard work that goes into this forum and have helped me multiple times in dealing with Private Parking Tickets scams. Coupon-mad in particular has been my role model, thanks for everything. I've never gone far enough to get to defend a small claim against me so this…

Visited Stonehenge yesterday. Couldn't get the app to work for visitor car park and then forgot to ask them when we got to the ticket office. Got the app working today and tried to retrospectively pay - but it won't let me. I paid anyway today (a day late). Is there anything else I can do before the inevitable PCN arrives?

Hi, any advice appreciated please. I forgot about paying for Manchester Airport drop off, and missed the deadline. A few days later, and in a panic, I emailed GeneralEnquiries.MAGParking@apcoa.com asking if I could pay after missing the deadline - received a bot response stating I could not pay, and needed to wait for the…

Hi all, I’d appreciate an honest view on whether my parking defence has realistic prospects at court or whether I should cut my losses and pay £255. In October 2025, I parked at Urban Study Tyne Bridge, Newcastle, beside council pay-and-display parking. The council “PAY HERE” signs and payment facilities were the most…

Hi everyone, I’ve been researching online and found many people who have been fined from parking in the McDonald’s car park near Stanstead airport. We stopped off at McDonald’s after our flight late at night to grab a bit to eat the car park was dark and I didn’t know there were two different car parks, the drive thru was…

New claim received. Issue date: 22/10/26 AOS submitted: 28/10/26 Reason for claim: Overstayed authorised parking session Claim: £170 being the total of the PC and damages (£265 with legal/court fees)

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice regarding a Parking Charge Notice (PCN) issued by Gemini Parking Solutions at Waltham Forest Feel Good Centre on 11 October 2026. I contacted the centre manager to ask if they would consider cancelling the charge, as I'd read an earlier thread on here about the same location where the…

Hello, I recieved a PCN for parking in a disabled bay without displaying a blue badge outside a coffee shop for 6 minutes. I used this space as myself and my partner were at the store to pick up a click and collect order. My partner was in a full leg brace and using 2 crutches following knee surgery. This was 4 operations…

Hello, I have received a letter from Gladstones stating I have received a CCJ Judgement at the start of the month, also alterted via Clearscore. I moved last year and sold the vehicle, after moving but never up-dated the address. We have mail redirection set up so have been receiving letters directly from Gladstones plus…

Hello all I was dealing with this alleged parking charge via ftla unfortunately the moderator left for reasons unknown to me which left me in a quandary as supposed to get back to forum when letter of claim came. [Image removed by Forum Team] [Image removed by Forum Team] I cannot post ftla link search: Horizon pcn…

Hi, A general question. Have there been any examples of parking firms issuing PCNs for dates prior to erecting their signage ? If so how has that been tackled ? Many thanks

Hi all, I would really appreciate some guidance on my current situation please, as I’ve now reached the defence stage and want to make sure I’m on the right track. Starting to get a bit concerned about the whole thing… Parking charge issued by Minster Baywatch at Kingston Centre, Milton Keynes and claim has been escalated…

In May 2026 my local garden centre which has always had free parking became pay/display. This was unknown to me (and many others) and by the time I received the demand for payment much more signage had gone up. I’ve spoken to the staff at the garden centre and the manager who agree they have had many complaints but can do…

hi I am hoping for some advice , I received a pcn dated 26/05/2025 from UKPC . I was parked down a side bit of the retail park , the regular parking at the retail park is free. The side bit leads to a private car park but the cameras have pictured me enter this section and leave. The signs for private parking are along the…

Hi all, before I begin I do want to say that I have indeed read all the advice and steps included on the main website as well as the pinned thread here. I’m disabled so I’m a bit unclear still. I received a postal PCN from a company called ‘Premier Park’, they are a member of the BPA. As far as I can tell, they have…
