Parking tickets, fines & parking

Hi, I have today received a LOC from DCB legal for £170. This is for a parking charge of “overstayed free time” that happened in Nov 2023. It states that payment was due within 28 days of the PC being issued but remains outstanding - I never received the PCN so this is a complete surprise to me. I’m assuming the PCN went…

Advice please: we parked at Manchester airport multi storey P12 on 30th April to 5th May. The signage to P12 seemed ok until we were almost there. We passed the car park entrance and had to go round a roundabout again. It seemed fine - until we received ‘Parking Charge APCOA Parking’ today (18th May) dated 9th May. It…

Hi everyone,I am seeking advice on a Letter Before Claim from BW Legal, acting on behalf of Parking Control Management (PCM), demanding £1,190 [BW Legal]. They state this is for 7 unpaid parking charges, but the letter lacks specific particulars (it just says "May park default" and "7 unpaid parking") [BW Legal]. I have…

Attached should be a Parking Charge Notice from a Lidl car park. Driver was in the Lidl shop and went nowhere else. Driver shops their frequently and on the day concerned…

Hi all, I’m new to this and really need some support after receiving a County Court Claim Form today regarding a private parking charge from Horizon Parking. I’ve been reading as much as I can on the forum, but I’ll admit it’s a lot to take in. I’m determined to fight this but could use some guidance to make sure I don’t…

I’ve had a letter of claim come through from Moorside legal over three pcns from Gatwick airport for non payment while using the drop off zone back in 2024. Two were to my old address before I updated the dvla but one was sent to my old address even after I’d updated the DVLA and had a new log book? Date on V5 and pcn…

Hi guys, after a bit of advice. I received a Letter before claim letter from Gladstones couple of years ago and using the guidance on this site at the time, I sent them a reply letter and also sent a copy of the letter via email. This was in January 2024. Here's the letter I sent:: I didn't hear back from them until couple…

Hi, Advice/Help much appreciated. I recently had a CNBC Claim Form sent through for parking in a disabled bay without displaying a BB on private land, the incident happened in 2023 and I wasnt the driver at the time. The driver was parked in a disabled bay whilst collecting a disabled passenger so didn't have the blue…

Hi All, My wife received a PCN from Times24 for a Gatwick South dropoff. After looking through this forum for similar cases, I found the standard template (i.e. not relevant land) and appealed. They have rejected the appeal with the now common Elliott vs Loake excuse, which means I have to go through IAS, which I’m not…

Hi everyone, I've received a County Court claim from ParkingEye and I'm looking for some advice on how best to defend it. The alleged parking event was at The Range, Chalon Way West Retail Park, St Helens, on 28/11/2023. The claim has only recently been issued, dated 11/09/2026, so it's nearly three years after the alleged…

Hi guys, would anyone mind having a quick look over my defence please? I’ve included the relevant case dates as photo as well. The case relates to my London Hackney Carriage taxi being parked in a disabled bay in one of the retail parks in . I was away from the vehicle briefly while assisting a disabled passenger into…

Hi everyone, I have a situation I'm unsure about. I was parking on a road that constantly had the parking signs removed. This was in Tower Hamlets and I've since moved. I accumulated around ten parking tickets and eventually my car was impounded. When I went to the pound, I recorded myself. The employee told me that if I…

Apparently we are now responsible for ensuring that their cr*p ANPR camera - which have been proven to be unreliable - are able to read our number plates… We're emailing to let you know that we have updated the Terms and Conditions for the Airport Drop-Off zones, and the facility to pay by AutoPay. These changes provide…

I've attached photos of a very recent EPS PCN, it looks POFA compliant to me but have I missed anything? I'll be appealing as keeper simply to extend the 14 days if nothing else as I can't see a way out - it was permit only parking and there was no permit. They've provided plenty of photo evidence online including a close…

Hi there, I hope it is okay to start a new thread, I have checked the Newbie post but couldn't find anything specific to my query - apologies if I've missed anything. We have a neighbour over the road (who we don't know) who appears to have registered at least two cars to our address by mistake. Don't know whether it was a…

I followed Smart Parkings appeals process and sent an appeal to them on 11/10/2021 via the website (please see attached image for evidence) I am yet to receive any response from them or…

I have attached all relevant docs redacted (I hope I've covered them all). At the time I appealed on the basis of my blue badge. I was 52 mins over the 2 hours. Have done an SAR etc. This is the result. I imagine this is all identifiable to some degree anyway but I'm long past caring. My brain just isn't functioning like…
