Parking tickets, fines & parking

Hi all, Looking for some advice on a SABA parking charge at Leighton Buzzard railway station and whether I have any realistic grounds to fight this further, or whether I should just accept the £20 reduced charge they've offered. On 29 July 2026 I parked at Leighton Buzzard railway station. It's a pay-as-you-leave system…

I received a lovely Christmas present from DCB Legal this year. A brief timeline below: 25 December 2025: Alleged parking incident at an Esso petrol station managed by Euro Car Parks. I was a genuine customer buying fuel, engine oil and pump air into tires (can evidence with bank statements) and am a Blue Badge holder.…

My partner has now received a County Court claim from Euro Car Parks, represented by DCB Legal, covering three PCNs. Total claim is £689.48. All three relate to the same basic issue where she did pay for parking using RingGo, but ECP say the payment did not cover the full period parked. On one of them, for example, RingGo…

Got a letter this week from them for overstaying. Morrisons gives a 2 hour period for customers and anymore i would have to pay. I tried to pay for the extra hour beyond this period but the website was not accepting multiple payment methods and i resigned to thinking the website was broken and i probably wouldn't get…

Hi, I have followed the Newbies thread to the best of my knowledge and have now got to the stage where I am somewhat bamboozled, probably because of a mixture of litigation jargon and the potential court appearance looming (albiet miniscule chance based on other comments in this forum). A response to the "Letter of Claim"…

hi I am hoping for some advice , I received a pcn dated 26/05/2025 from UKPC . I was parked down a side bit of the retail park , the regular parking at the retail park is free. The side bit leads to a private car park but the cameras have pictured me enter this section and leave. The signs for private parking are along the…

Good evening, I have received 2 x PCN's from NCP for parking in their Bromley car par on 23/09/2025 and 24/09/2025 - it was an over-night stay, we nipped out for food, and therefore it has recorded us going in twice. I have the NCP app, last used on 23rd October 2023 - paid via autopay. Only used the app. three times,…

Hi all, I’ve received a PCN for allegedly overstaying in a car park by 34 minutes. The issue is that this car park has previously had problems with the exit cameras. On a number of occasions, after leaving the car park, the system would still show the vehicle as being parked there rather than having exited correctly. I…

I recently parked in a small car park late on night to get some food. It was an area I haven't been to before. The only business open was a pizza place where I ate. I didn't see the signs for restricted parking time as it was dark. On receiving the parking charge notice for exceeding my stay, I revisited the premises in…

Hello! Wondering if anyone can help with regards to ECP at Cromwell Road Sainsburys in London. Received a NTK in the post alleging the vehicle was parked in parent and child bay with no child. No PCN was placed on the windscreen and the two photo's on the NTK are just of the vehicle parked in the bay. There is no option to…

Good morning everyone, I have just received the LoC for the overstay on McDonalds parking. Fortunately/unfortunately all previous correspondence from UKPC/ debt collectors (?)/other solicitors companies were ignored. Now i have received the LoC from dcblegals - this seems to be the standard template with keeper details and…

On 30 November 2025, my wife was driving my car, she was with her mum and our daughter, after church she has to drop her mum to the nearest boots pharmacy. She entered the Stafford Street 2 car park, she was willing to pay. She scanned the QR code and attempted to arrange payment online. She encountered a technical problem…

I received a claim form from DCB Legal and submitted my AOS on 05/08/25 using the site. I kept a note of the gateway reference and logged in again a week later to file my defence. Now when I enter my claim number and password, they’re not recognised. I tried emptying the cache, a different browser and even a different…

OK, the full text of what I have so far for my defence will be in the second post (based on template that is sticky-ed at the top of the forum) - this post is to lay out the background and current state of play. Timeline In August 2021 I was driving back to London from a family holiday and stopped for about 30 minutes at…

[Image removed by Forum Team] My wife got this NTK yesterday. To cut a long story short, we parked in a residents parking bay because we were due to stay at her Airbnb (through booking.com) Unbeknown to us, she had cancelled it without informing us. It took an age before we could speak to her & then speak to customer…

I appealed a PCN in a Saba station car park citing POFA schedule 4 didn’t apply on railway land and stating that I wouldn’t be naming the driver and to cancel or issue a POPLA code. What I didn’t know about was an amendment to the Act that allows keeper liability on land previously under statutory control came into force…

Hi, I have a LoC from BW legal for parking in a residential area, there are areas you can and cant park on the street/side roads even before and after signage - very confusing. Anyway the place I parked there was a sign at shin-level (not visible from my line of sight driving in). I have until today to respod to BW legal -…

I received a parking fine from NPC when parking in the underground car park of the building where my friend lives. I disputed the fine on the basis there was no signs explaining I should not park without a permit, my friend was also not aware of the rules and he had encouraged me to park there. I went back and took…

Hi all, I recently applied for a rented property and was told during referencing that I'd failed due to a CCJ I had no knowledge of. Checking my Experian report, I found a County Court Judgment registered against me on 27 July 2026, but at my old address, I only discovered it on 4 September. I called the County Court…
