Parking tickets, fines & parking

Hi everyone, Apologies but having read through the guidelines already in the forum I am still non the wiser exactly what I need to do about this… In short, I made a trip in my partners car (registered in her name) to London on 21/06/2026, pulled over at "Moto Reading East" services for a sleep, woke up drove off a while…

Hello all. In May 2024 I parked my car on a road within a private industrial park with no parking restrictions in place, leaving possession with a garage to do work on the car. I collected the car in June 2024. A couple of weeks later I had a PCN from Car Park Management UK for parking here. In the month between me leaving…

Hi all, I know there is lots of threads around this and I've been keeping an eye on them as my situation has developed, utilising advice and templates at different stages, but I just wanted to reach out for support as Im getting a little nervous now that DCB Legal has filed their DQ.

Hi everyone, I have received a parking charge letter from Bank Park management. I’ve read some information already on the forum about how to approach this for leased cars.

Hi all, Looking for some advice on whether I can still challenge a Council PCN. What happened according to the PCN: Parked in a parking bay without a valid resident permit.

Hi, Firstly just to confirm I have read through the entirety of the Newbie FAQ's thread. But my question wasn't answered. I live in a private block of flats with gated parking. All residents get a Fob for the parking lot but not all residents have a parking space. I don't have a parking space but do have a fob. My…

Hello, sadly I am coming to this forum a little late and wish I had read all the advice beforehand! I thought that the PCN I received was based on such rubbish I didnt think they would even bother pursuing it - but how wrong I was! I received a PCN - notice to registered keeper in the post due to ANPR picking up my car on…

Hi All! So a ticket has come through from GBP Management LTD citing no valid permit even though there were no clearly displayed signs. I've read through the Newbies thread and also found an identical thread with the same company. My plan of action: 1. Wait for day 25 and then lodge appeal as the keeper using the 't-shirt…

Hi all My partner received a £100 parking fine from vars technology. She had over stayed in a free 90 minute car park by 1hr but has proof she was a paying customer in the store on site. Her friend received the same fine and appealed and it got reduced to £20. When she has contacted VARs they said she was out of the…

My gym moved sites, we've got a managed car park. I thought this would be a good thing because the blue badge bays at the last site were regularly full of people who didn't have blue badges. Turns out no - not a good thing. There's 16 blue badge bays on the ground floor and three on a higher level. Three of those 16 bays…

Hoping for a bit of advice/opinion. Earlier this year, I received the usual invoice from a private parking company (not naming unless required) for an overstay at a playground in a village I live.
