Parking tickets, fines & parking

I've received one successfully defended parking charge in almost fifty years of driving. A member of my family, driving a car registered to me, has not been so fortunate. One charge notice received today from Britannia, 19 days after the parking event. That one is attendant issued but with no window ticket. Another charge…

This now gone to LoC stage with a letter from BW Legal ___________________________________________________________________ Good Morning, been a while since I've posted - but I still read this forum most weeks and help out where I can. A friend parked in Arcade Carpark Hitchin, genuinely believing it was Free after 6pm.…

DO NOT PAY ANY OF THE PARKING COMPANIES ISSUING DROP-OFF PCNs. Advice will change as & when the Government introduce the new statutory Code of Practice and new Appeals Service. And when the companies concerned finally learn (after statutory regulation forces them) how to treat consumers fairly and put up clear signs.…

To save adding to a post about something else it might be worth having a seperate thread for parking stories in the media Kicking it off is this on the BBC news site"Drivers fined as Durham car park camera 'misses them leaving' yep, its the good old double dip again, full story on the BBC…

Yet again the system failed to show my entry time so I had to guess, and yet again the sun was shining on the screen so it was hard to read. I remember that I had intended to pay for 3 hours to be on the safe side but checking my parking ticket I only paid for two - I know that's not going to matter to them but I am miffed…

Hello all, I received a CCJ for a PCN for a parking space I rent from the lease holder. I applied to the county court to have the CCJ set aside and attended court. the judge agreed to set aside the CCJ and that I needed to submit my defence on the basis I have permission to park in the space by the lease holder. I have…

Hello, My mum received the attached parking charge from BP petrol station near Stansted Airport. Reason for charge notice: out of bay At first she thought the reason was that she was parked there for too long because she was waiting to pick me up from the airport and I got a bit delayed so she ended up staying there just…

I have been trying to search advice on how it works with appealing an fine incurred when renting a car but not found anything.. Can anyone advise or direct me? I want to know if it is still possible to claim I was not the driver if the ticket and rental are in my name? Also is there a way I can avoid admin fee from the…

Afternoon all. A long going claim is rumbling on, 2 fines from ukpc are currently with DB legal, had letter of claim and responded with template letter on here today, got a reply. Quote The evidence you have provided shows that the arrival and departure times recorded on your booking differ from the entry and exit times…

Apologies if I should not have started a new thread, but I have searched and cannot find anything similar, I was the driver and the fee is payable. I've had an appeal to Euro Car Parks rejected because they cannot tie up my payment with the registration of my car, in spite of sending them a copy of the bank statement…

Private parking operators have been issued a new warning by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to treat motorists fairly. The regulator has sent letters to both the industry and the Government detailing concerns, particularly around the process for appealing parking tickets. Separately, it's also launched an…

Hi all, I would really appreciate some guidance on my current situation please, as I’ve now reached the defence stage and want to make sure I’m on the right track. Starting to get a bit concerned about the whole thing… Parking charge issued by Minster Baywatch at Kingston Centre, Milton Keynes and claim has been escalated…

Hi all, first and foremost what a great forum, there is so much information, advice and guidance here. Thank you for all your work. I have received a N1 SDT for a parking breach incurred by another driver in my vehicle and Parking Eye are now chasing me as the owner as they don't know the identity of the driver. I intend…

Here we go again.... A friend popped over to Eurocarparts in Coventry on a Sunday morning. It gets very busy and the car park was full. Being a Sunday the unit next door (QED) was closed with the shutters down so like any normal, right-minded member of the public who has ever frequented Industrial Estates in the UK for the…

Good evening. I'm the keeper of a vehicle that Times Parking are claiming visited the drop off zone at Gatwick for about five minutes. I have appealed as keeper, citing the usual information. Including the fact that POFA doesn't apply in this case, and even if it did they are significantly out of the 14 days window. In…

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…

Hello everyone, I've received a Letter of Claim and, after reading through several posts on here, decided to start a new thread to ask for some advice. Do you think it's worth defending this claim, or would I be better off settling it? The situation is as follows: I was in London for work and parked my car late at night.…

Hi all I ran out of time when I parked in a bay as was in a rush and misread the sign. I should have put £2.50 in and only put £2.00. I assumed from the sign it would be £1 an hour, but only had 2 options: up to 1 hour (£1) and up to 4 hours (£2.50), However I was only parked for an hour and 45 minutes so the parking…

Hi all, I hope I am not going to annoy anyone by starting a thread on this as I can see it has been covered a million times before! I have read the sticky over and over and in all honesty I have confused myself with what I actually need to do! The story - Back in June after the car that we were travelling in to the airport…
