Why are airports not relevant land under POFA?
I have a bit of a theoretical question. Background: I'm having a fight with NCP over some Gatwick Drop-off PCNs. All have been appealed with the standard "No keeper liability, not naming the driver, go away" appeals. All but the latest one have been cancelled. They did some bad things like refusing a SAR or repeatedly…

MET Park ticket from 2023
Hi everyone, Background: Back in 2023, I went to pick up someone from Stansted airport, at night, and ended up getting a parking fine.

No parking or Waiting
Hi all, Apologies for starting a new thread on this, but I wasn't sure if there would be any difference when appealing due to the "no waiting" part of the PCN.

Any point appealing an "out of hours" stay for 17 minutes (ParkingEye)
I've used this forum in the past, it got me out of a couple of parking fines (Airport), however this time it is indeed sort of my fault and I wanted to make sure that I should just pay (can't even pay the minimum anymore, took a long time to get the fine so it's 3 weeks). Anyway, I had a flu jab and the medical centre's…

Payment mistake
With xmas approaching and subsequent excitement, £9.98 fuel wasn’t paid for correctly- genuine mistake. This letter has arrived with the keeper. The intention is to pay for the fuel however there’s a £35 admin fee that seems unfair. Does the admin fee need paying ?
