Parking tickets, fines & parking

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…

Hi all, bit lost with this one so any advice would be appreciated. My partner's had a PCN from ParkingEye, but I was the one driving. We pulled in at 10:59 and the car park was completely full. I had my father-in-law with me, who's disabled and can't walk far, and this was the nearest car park to his appointment, so we…

Hi Everyone, I really hope someone can help as I’m very worried and anxious. I’ve had a court letter regarding a parking fine from DCB legal dating back to October 2022. I did park for a very short time as my daughter who is type 1 diabetic was having a hypo. I was not aware that parking was not permitted and did not see…

Yet again the system failed to show my entry time so I had to guess, and yet again the sun was shining on the screen so it was hard to read. I remember that I had intended to pay for 3 hours to be on the safe side but checking my parking ticket I only paid for two - I know that's not going to matter to them but I am miffed…

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…

I have recently been advised that I could request to set aside this CCJ based on the fact that I reside overseas and the claim forms were not served correctly. My car is registered with DVLA at my UK holiday home address, so the claim forms were sent there while I was residing overseas. I did not discover them until last…

Hi there, I received through a £85 Parking Charge Notice from APCOA for "use of private car park without a valid payment/permit". I wasn't driving the car but am the registered keeper. I have read through various chats and think I should appeal and have put together the below with the help of AI and wondered if anyone had…

Hi guys I’ve just need some advice here. I’ve recently receive a parking fine for Manchester Airport drop off. I genuinely forgot to pay when dropped off my nephew and today I received a terrifying £100 parking fine! For that 2 mins drop off. I have followed the advice on this forum and used the below template and raised…

Hi all, looking for advice on where I stand. In June I parked at Sevenoaks Station at about 10am while rushing for a train. When I tried to pay through the APCOA Connect app, I got a "No Available Tariffs" error saying no tariffs were found for this location, vehicle and start time, with a banner reading "This location is…

On 30 November 2025, my wife was driving my car, she was with her mum and our daughter, after church she has to drop her mum to the nearest boots pharmacy. She entered the Stafford Street 2 car park, she was willing to pay. She scanned the QR code and attempted to arrange payment online. She encountered a technical problem…

Hello, I have a Gemini PCN with slightly different wording to examples I've seen here so wanted to check 1: if the version I have fails the POFA requirements? 2: if an appeal on POFA grounds (Keeper was not the driver) stands a chance with IAS? The forum generally says don't bother with IAS as it's too biased, but a thread…

First things first, a massive thanks to everyone who puts their time and effort into this forum and these threads. I've successfully appealed a fair number of PCNs over the past 6-7 years thanks to the wealth of info on this forum. I appreciate that my case will not be unique, but I have not managed to find the relevant…

[Image removed by Forum Team] Hi all Got a pcn at the mall. Can't find the original. Shocked by the pcn I checked my bank and found the payment. I sent them a screenshot thinking that would be the end. I do not recall if I identified myself as the driver somehow. I can't access the appeal. I recieved the below and so I am…

Hello I received an NTK from Britannia parking today, 30th Deptember. It is dated 17th September and refers to a contravention on 1st August. Is this past it’s time limit and is this good enough grounds for appeal? No ticket or notice was given on the day Thanks.

Hi All Received this NTK for overstaying in the car park in Peninsular Retail Park Greenwich (attached) according to ECP for 28mins. The annoying thing is that it has always been 3 hours free parking for many years or as far I can remember and checking on google maps at least since 2019 (unfortunately there arent't more…

I'd like to start by apologising if this particular query has been asked and answered - I promise I have read the Newbies thread and the "READ THIS BEFORE YOU START A NEW THREAD ABOUT ZZPS or DEBT RECOVERY PLUS" thread and I feel overwhelmed and confused. I'd just really really appreciate if anyone can help, and I really…

So I recently parked in a retail park where you get two hours free and have to pay after that. So I wasn't planning on staying past the two hours but I knew I was going to run over so before the two hours were up I paid for 3 extra hours and still got a ticket. Appealed and obviously it got rejected with them saying I…
