Parking tickets, fines & parking

Wanted advice on this case so I can get it squashed as quickly as possible. We have received a £100 parking charge notice from Euro Parking Services. They say this is due to the contravention of "not parked correctly within the markings of the bay or space". The reported incident happened outside a Tesco store for less…

In April i parked at a Euro Car Parks car park and as a result of being blocked in and time took to find a space. I over stayed by 14 mins just over. Took me about 5 mins to find a space as its a very busy car park and spaces are very limited, then upon my return, i found i was blocked in, the car next to me was to far out…

Hello everyone, I wanted to get people's opinion on my parking ticket. I used to park in Manchester all the time and I used an NCP carpark near the office. They brought in autopay and I used it every day for ages. Then I changed job so didn't have to park in town anymore. Fast forward to earlier this year and I went into…

I've received a PCN from Countrywide Parking Management for "No Permit Displayed". This refers to a space in a secure car park at a block of flats allocated to my flat (I'm a tenant) On moving in over 18 months ago, I was advised by the landlord that there had never been a permit for the space. No previous PCNs had ever…

I've received a Euro Car Parks PCN for Sainsburies in Brentwood, which going on their google reviews I'm not the first. Signage is utterly inadequate, I reviewed the dash cam footage and there is no visible/readable signage beyond the typical Sainsburies 'maximum 2.5 hour stay'. I have attempted to get this cancelled via…

Hello, I have received a letter from Gladstones stating I have received a CCJ Judgement at the start of the month, also alterted via Clearscore. I moved last year and sold the vehicle, after moving but never up-dated the address. We have mail redirection set up so have been receiving letters directly from Gladstones plus…

Claimant: ParkingEye Ltd Solicitor: DCB Legal Ltd Issue date: 18 August 2026 Location: Corporation Street, Preston PR1 2UP Date of contravention: 09/12/2022 Amounts claimed: • Amount claimed…

Hello I have completed a draft of my template, but actually think I have missed my deadline of 4pm today as thought it was the 20th not the 21st. Please can you see if it reads ok, as I need to send off asap and wasn’t sure if I kept paragraphs in numbered or not or if I have given enough/ too much information: 1. The…

Hello everyone, First time poster in need of some help. I have received a county court claim from the notorious Civil Enforcement LTD. I received a PCN back in Aug of 2023 whilst donating blood at a local community centre. I hadn't noticed since my previous blood donation that the community centre had installed cameras. I…

Hello, I received my claim form and emailed my AOS to the email address given. I then realised I could use MCOL so logged on to that, a few days later. I intended to upload my defence via MCOL. It has the below written on it: 'A bar has been put in place on this claim. You cannot respond to the claim at this time.' Does…

Hello, Advice needed. I have received these letters from Debt Recovery Plus and Horizon Parking due to an apparent breach of rules at an Iceland store, the V5 address was incorrect so only recently aware of them. I am not sure if the NTK letter(s) were received (or maybe thrown away). Regardless, I do not have the NTK but…

Here's one for you. Overstay at a retail park. Driver A drives in, driver B drives out. Keeper receives a POFA-compliant NtK. Genuinely thinks they are not the driver - after all the Act states: "driver” includes, where more than one person is engaged in the driving of the vehicle, any person so engaged. So they transfer…

I got a parking ticket from Camden Council today, i was working for a customer and i parked up outside, my customer did my parking online and so i thought i was covered. When i had finished the job i went back and saw i had a ticket, the problem is that i had parked in a 'pay n display' bay and not the residents bay which…

Hi I have seen a few similar threads, but none that have updated on their outcome yet. The car park is privately owned but right in front of the entrance to a council arts centre, it is all fenced and looks like it part of the centre, the council have said they don't own it and I have been waiting over 4 weeks for them to…

Hi All, I have received a county claim form from HM Courts & Tribunal Services yesterday. The claimant is VCS being represented by BW Legal. I have received the claim form without any prior letters etc regarding this parking charge. My address is up to date and has not changed since 2022. I was not aware of this charge…

After informing both APCOA and Trace about my address, APCOA have contacted me with the following message (see below). There seem to be two things. First, seeking a record of the PCN and second confirmation of address through some form of proof. I am loathe to do either, but would appreciate some advice if possible. What…

Hi I would like some advice for this if possible please. I received this PCN as the keeper of the vehicle for overstaying in a car park by two [2] minutes. I used the template letter to appeal and have received the following back. Does this mean that I should pay the £60, rather than appeal to POPLA? I appreciate there is…

Hello everyone, It’s been some time since I’ve been here, so I hope you’re all keeping well. Funnily enough, the current court claim actually pre-dates the last one and is from August 2021. I haven’t lost so far because of the kind and rigorous work of the good people of this forum, and I’m hoping not to break the streak…

Seem to be getting these every year now. I don't think they even bother putting signs up in some places and assume some people will blindly pay the ridiculous amounts asked for. I'm just posting yet another appeal and eventual success to show people on this board that despite some naysayers, POPLA will still stick up for…

Hi all, Just wanted to post here, as all of the advice I see is that DCBLegal/ParkingEye is extremely easy to get out of - the "fail proof" defence "which always works" did not work, and they wouldn't settle court mediation below £150, so I rejected the offer to proceed to the next stage, based on the advice on here. I've…
