Parking tickets, fines & parking

Hi all, I have received a Claim Form for the first time - so have been reading the NEWBIES!! thread extensively as I am very anxious about it! I was thinking of paying to just avoid any stress, but looks like I have a very high chance for it to be dropped? See attached redacted form. The PoC is very vague - just says…

Shockingly noticed CCJ £233 on credit karma. Called Court-CNBC , they emailed PoC. It's PCN from private car park sent to my previous address. No replies to PCN, so CP Plus Ltd passed it to Direct Collection Bailiffs Ltd to chase. Date of parking 03/07/25. I sold the car 20/09/25. My new car registered to address I moved…

Today received letter claiming £170 against an alleged PCN from March 2022 (over 4 years ago)in the sum of £170. This is the first correspondence i have received about this matter. Says it relates to parking at a Hotel in Holland-on-Sea. It is addressed to a Company of which I was a Director and whose Registered Office was…

Hi, trying to appeal a Initial Parking PCN, arrived in post after 2 weeks, so 2 weeks to appeal. When i input pcn/notice ref plus reg it just wipes them off when i press submit, checked it, done it countless times, yet on the same site at basically the same time when i submit as a test to transfer liability it permits and…

Hi All, I recently parked in the council owned Brook Street carpark in Chester recently and ended up paying more than expected. I parked at 5am on a Thursday and picked the car up Sunday afternoon. I expected to pay £22 - £2 for arriving before 6am and 4 x £5 for being over 4 hours a day. Instead I was charged £28. I…

Hi, just needed advice on this. Basically I am an uber driver and I have been using the airport template appeal thread to avoid paying the drop off charges for Heathrow and Gatwick. I know the advice is not to use it to avoid paying but honestly money has been tight and it worked so I have been using it successfully for…

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…

Any help would be appreciated. So brief summary - 9th July 2021 i was working as a delivery driver for a restaurant and went to a block of flats to deliver food. There is nowhere to park at this complex at all and it is on a one way system. There is also a hotel next to the flats but not even a visitors bay. Also there was…

and fyi - the only place the word "fine" is used is in the badly worded title to the article. Stung with a parking fine for an 18-second airport stop to tackle a wasp | Consumer affairs | The Guardian Do we have the defence about airports being statutory land in the guidance notes?

Hi all, Just had a mediation call regarding two private parking charges. I am appealing on several grounds, one is crappy signage, another is disability (I have a condition that affects my memory and I entered the VRM incorrectly twice, but did pay for parking). I have made my condition clear through the appeals (including…

Hi all It's been a while. I would appreciate advice on six Parking Charge Notices from Euro Car Parks (ECP) relating to the Morrisons Sheldon car park in Birmingham, which is also used by The Gym Group. I am the registered keeper of the vehicle. I have not appealed any of the notices yet and want to make sure I handle them…

Hi all, I have just received a court claim letter today for a smart parking via DCB legal case from April 2025. Its for overstayed parking at a drive through fast food chain, parking was free just 90 minutes only. I appealed it initially with the template and never disclosed the driver. The court claim is for a single…

Hi guys, just over a year ago I (twice) parked slightly outside of a marked bay in order to be able to safely get my children out of my car without causing any issues to me or the car parked on the other side. You can see from the pictures only 1 side of bay was extended hence why I parked the way I did. Minster Baywatch…

Hello all, looking for some Scotland-specific advice on defending a parking charge, please forgive any newbie errors. I've read through the newbie post and post #2 on small claims. The background of the case is as follows: Claimant: Horizon Parking Limited Solicitor: DBC Legal Court: Civil National Business Centre,…

Hi all, My flat (which I purchased several years ago) has designated parking spaced for each flat in the building. On my lease, it clearly states the parking bay assigned to me as part of the purchase. The parking entrance originally had a barrier which was promptly broken. After months of no action, the building…

My situation is almost the same as this post. Received Claim Form as per image below. Submitted AOS via MCOL. Defence deadline is 02/05/2026. I've pretty much copied Micky2022's defence, bar changing details particular to my case, and made the assumption that nothing has changed in how to deal with these between…

Hi, thanks for help in advance. @Coupon-mad and others I am at the stage of building my defence after completing acknowledgement of service via MCOL. Here is the POC… Correct me if I'm wrong. I understand I'm to use paragraph 3 from the CEL v Chan due to no mention of breach, and then everything else from the main thread.…

Hi everyone, first time ever getting a fine for one of those. I've followed the guide on here to send the first appeal back to let them know that I won't be revealing who the driver was and that me being the registered keeper does not mean I drove it. I have now received an Evidence / Information Request from APCOA: "We…

I have already contacted NRW (site owner) to request they cancel this. But thought I would open a thread for progress for others to see how it goes… Carpark has 30 minutes free. We were not parked for longer than 30 minutes. The ANPR cameras are at a road entrance to the forest… it takes 7 minutes according to Google to…
