I thought I would share the answers I received to a FOIA request made in June to a large NHS Trust - I won't name them as I have no axe to grind with them and they were chosen at random. It did, however, require a section 10 notice from the ICO to get an answer - rather more to do with their appalling response record for…

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone can give me some advice because I’m getting a bit worried that I might have messed things up. I got a PCN from APCOA for a drop-off at Stansted Airport around July. The original letter went to my leasing company, who forwarded it to me (online). They didn’t pay the charge, they just passed…

Hi Guys, I recently received a PCN notice from APCOA about a drop-off at Manchester Airport. I know you can usually ignore APCOA, but I don't want it to escalate into a CCJ and affect my credit score. I've also been advised to appeal to APCOA, not admitting to who the driver was, and also asking them to provide the…

Feel like I spend half my life fighting these parking charges!!! Background is that my mum had extended stay in hospital before passing away. As we were ferrying my dad to the hospital frequently, we registered both mine and my wife's car for free parking, as he has a 'blue badge' (he's 90, with very limited mobility).…

Good morning all. Absolutely gutted to get another PCN from this scammer. Wonder how many motorist might have just paid them and how they have been allowed to operate is questionable!! Just stopped by the side of the road next to the building waiting to pick up a friend whose gone to the bank on the high street in Hounslow…

Dear Forum, I have been dealing with my parking ticket myself for the last 3 years, using advice and templates from MSE. But things have now escalated to the point that I have received a HMCTS claim form. So I would like to get some advice where I stand. The PCN was dated 89 days after the alleged contravention. The…

Hey guys, It was a residential private site where a relative lives. Apparently there are visitor bays and a permit needs to be displayed. Got a windscreen PCN, the usual £100 / £60 discount. I’ve dealt with these before but previously got a letter first. Anything special I need to be aware of?

Hi all, newbie here - I received this parking charge from All Parking Services LTD last week. My primary gripe is that I received it after the discount window ended, meaning I can’t pay the reduced rate. I had a read through the newbie post and have determined that All Parking Services UK is a BPA member, but unsure where…

I recently attended my sons graduation, the night before I reserved and paid for a parking space in New Bird Street Liverpool. I attended New bird street and saw the baltic creative carpark. Thinking this was were I had paid for I pulled into the car park as I couldn't read the signage from the road and there was heavy…

Unbelievable - as soon as I get one of these sorted another one pops through the letterbox. Paid 4.75 for 3 hours but was feeling unwell and sat in my car for a bit which meant I should have paid 6.25. Thought I'd paid for more hours than I actually had and didn't see a reminder from the ring go app saying I needed to…

I want to appeal a parking charge that i have received from Civil Enforcment Ltd. The only way to appeal is through there online portal but the options don't include my reason for appeal. Basically I want to appeal because the wording on the signage in the area where I parked was unclear. I'm being fined for failing to…

My cousin has a parking ticket from a pharmacist. Due to forgetting to change his V5 when they moved address, he didnt get the parking fine letters about it , and now its gone from the car park owners to Empira to chase the money. (they obtained his mobile number from somewhere - which is worrying). The pharmacist have…

I booked a hotel stay with parking for 2 weeks at Manchester Airport Inn through Holiday Extras. One week after the stay I received a parking charge notice from Parkingeye for the same duration. I have tried calling Holiday extras but only get a robot. I have tried calling Parkingeye but only get information regarding how…

Hi all, I’ve received a County Court Claim Form (MCOL) relating to a private parking charge and would appreciate some advice. Background: Parking event was around November 2023. Location was a Costco customer car park. The allegation appears to relate to exceeding the maximum stay period. Vehicle was an old car which I no…

Hello everyone. I am the Registered Keeper dealing with a highly predatory ticket from Vehicle Control Services (VCS) at a residential development. I am refusing to name the driver and keeping them completely anonymous. The IAS adjudicator rejected my appeal on 05/10/2026. I want to lay out everything the operator did from…

Hi all. I've had a look and I can't find another thread that covers the parking charge notice that I've received. We parked in a private car park with pay on entrance ANPR (Parking Eye) and attempted to buy a ticket from the 1 machine, but it wouldn't work. (I have a video). I then spent ages downloading the app to pay as…

Hi, So Ocean Parking handed me a PCN in April for parking outside of the bay (see photos - it's something plenty have done before there that hasn't led to any reprimand). I consulted a previous thread on Ocean and Metrolink car parks from MSE Forums and the advice seemed to be 'kill it with POPLA'. Here's a TLDR of what I…

But a permit was purchased within three minutes of parking. I wasn’t driving the vehicle but I made payment with my CC. My appeal as RK included a screenshot of the entry on my online bank statement. Appeal rejected (of course) but it was then that ECP introduced a different claim: I’d made a keying error! The last three…

Hi all, I’d appreciate some advice before I submit an appeal against a private parking charge - I'm not new to this and have contested many tickets in the past, I've read the Newbie thread. The PCN alleges "Out of marked bay.” The car was parked for around 16 minutes in an area of the car park next to a betting shop. This…
