Court Hearing Letter Sent Late from Court
I’m currently contesting a parking ticket issued by Parking Eye which stated that I overstayed at a parking spot by 45 minutes. We have gone through the mediation stage and it has now been referred to court. I have received notice of the hearing and in the letter it asks for evidence to be provided. However, the date of…

Parking fine from Civil Enforcement Limited
Got a parking fine a while ago, but due to moving house, didn't receive the letter in the time I was given to appeal. It's now reached a stage of receiving a "Letter Before Action", but I'm still unable to dispute. I was accused of staying in a KFC car park for 3 hours and 30 minutes, which beyond being a ridiculous…

Claim Form - March 2026 Smart Parking Limited via DCB Legal Ltd
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…

11 Smart Parking PCNs received together – all delivered on the same day after alleged parking events
Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice regarding 11 Parking Charge Notices issued by Smart Parking. All of the alleged parking events took place at the same location over a period of time. However, I did not receive any of the notices individually. Instead, every single PCN was delivered together on 13 July 2026, meaning…

Tesco Hove, Horizon PCN
Hi, I've received a PCN from Horizon dated 27 July for an 18th July breach - failure to validate. I wasn't aware the rules had changed at Tesco Hove, but I don't go there very often any more. I got it a few days before I went on holiday so stuffed it in my bag and am now dealing with it. I noted the recent comments like…

NCP NTK - POFA Compliant?
Is this NTK POFA compliant? Have checked the examples in the newbies thread but this one is worded slightly differently. Also is it normal for the "Pay by date" box to be left blank?

Parking Ticket overstay free 1 hour
Hello, went to McDonald's, for an apparent total time of 1 hour 13 minutes. I think the carpark was for Wickes which is right next to it, like a business park. I got a ticket stating max stay is 1 hour. It's a free parking area, no ticket to buy. Company is G24. I appealed, never addressed who I was, and it was rejected…

Horizon at Tesco Hove "date of breach 15 Sept" "parking charge issue date 6 Oct"
There was no screen ticket. As I understand it, the failure by Horizon to send an ANPR notice with 14 days means as long as the keeper does not name the driver, there is no case. I'd welcome cofirmation of this. If that's correct, is the recommendation still to contact Tesco first, given that it is essential the driver not…
