Parking tickets, fines & parking

Hi all, Created an account to post this question as I'm unsure about what to do - I did read the newbies thread and used the template email from it, but my particular situation is not covered (parking on a PRIVATE ROAD as opposed to a CAR PARK) and thus I feel it may be different. I received one of these invoices from…

Hi there, My son (19), received an NTK for parking at Seel Street, Liverpool. He said that he paid for the parking and showed the payment details. I appealed to Initial Parking (IP), using the newbie thread and copied the blue text. I also added that he had paid for it and attached his bank statement (his ticket was lost).…

Hi, So the driver had mistakenly driven into the staff car park, for a grand total of 9 minutes. Things I have already done: Asked the reception for it to be cancelled - they said the site manager doesn't want to deal with it anymore so they won't forward it on. Seen the car park again - there is no barrier separating the…

Hi All, I have read over the Newbies thread and with all the great information in there, I'm a little confused what my options are and was hoping someone reading this thread might be able to help. Hand up that after reading the Newbies thread, I've already made so many mistakes thinking these companies and the relevant…

Hi all, I’ve read the Newbies thread and the CEL thread. Defence due 29 July — fairly confident in what we have but would welcome a review, particularly on two specific points. The basics: • Claimant: Civil Enforcement Limited • Site: Leagrave Road, Luton • Date of incident: August 2025 • Registered keeper: defendant (my…

Hello, here is another one from Civil Enforcement directly. Novotel on Cherry Lane near Heathrow. I don't think it is within the Byelaws Land. Driver is a private hire driver who works with a company that has an office in the Novotel hotel. They also have a little "break room" for drivers to come and relax for a break if…

Hi all, I've been parking at a friends car park and my reg has been entered many times. I received a fine with Civil Enforcement and appealed it knowing (incorrectly) my Reg had been entered. I then appealed the fine with a copy of an email from my friend who rents the office saying I was allowed to park there and…

Appealed pooor signage, wife had back pain attack included recent X-ray from ongoing evaluation/treatment and offerred to pay any loss suferred from the alledged extra stay. The appeal was rejected.

Hi From the Newbies thread I know I should complain to Sainsbury's first, but we weren't shopping there, just practising parking on a Sunday evening 28th June from 8.30 pm to 8.52 pm. This is the car park that the driving test centre use on the test so my daughter went there to practise. My local Sainsburys has a 2/3 hour…

I parked at Tonbridge station in September. I always pay via the APCOA app while on the train into work. I do this daily. On this particular day the app was not accepting my payment details, I kept getting thrown out at the point of payment. Nothing wrong with the payment card as have been using it before and after this. I…

Received this charge today for not parking between the lines in a free car park on a retail estate. I was in an end space and was on the line or slightly over. It’s hard to tell from the photo they took as it’s stretched and very poor quality. Is it worth appealing? Thanks 🙂

Hi, Date of "parking":14/07/26 Received a letter from Debt Recovery Plus on 02/09/26 asking to pay £170 due to not making payment when using the pick up zone. I never received a letter from APCOA. I have since received further letters from DRP chasing me up for the £170 (which I'm obviously not going to pay). What can I do…

Hi all, I have read the NEWBIES thread and understand that after losing at IAS there is nothing I need to do unless I receive a proper Letter Before Claim or court claim. I wanted some advice on a few specific points in my case and also what I should realistically expect if it does end up in court. This is an OPS…

Hello all, I am new here and have tried to find to correct answer to my question, which has two parts to it. Firstly, I received a PCN from Minster Baywatch. I am looking to appeal but on the back it states "we dont accept appeals or complaints by email"? Is thst normal or a invalid statement? Secondly, the parking…

Hi good afternoon all. I have just received a letter in the post from HM courts service. This was from Premier parking at The Wharf on bridge Street Birmingham. It says i was not parked wholly within the bay. What actually happened was we drove into the carpark. There was 2 cars blocking our way so we couldnt drive…

I’m looking for some advice about a parking charge and the costs I have been left with. A CCJ was entered against me in relation to a parking charge I was completely unaware of until recently. I applied to have the judgment set aside because I had moved house and my V5C/logbook had not been updated ahead of the parking…

Good evening I am in the process of drafting my defence for a claim issued by Civil Enforcement Limited. The charge was issued in 2023 and I intend to defend on the following basis: - the terms alleged to have been breached are not stated in the POC - the length of time that has elapsed means that the circumstances are no…

Yet another one from the lovely Elite and the estate management team at Eddington Cambridge which continue to make residents' lives hell. (And I continue to look for a way to sue them for breaching the estate deed, but barristers are expensive and I need to figure out how to crowdsource this…) My landscaper had been…

Hi all, sorry in advance for the complete newb-ness of my post. Just not sure how to proceed with appealing and maybe if there's any point. So essentially I have been sent a Parking Charge letter issue under the reason No valid parking session detected for the total duration of around 5 and half minutes, in one of my local…

Hi My vehicle was parked in a hotel car park while the driver used their bar. I received a 'reminder before further action' letter but no initial PCN; the breach was 'permit holders only'. After the 'reminder before further action' letter was received, I went to the car park to check the signage, but the cameras and all…
