Parking tickets, fines & parking

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…

Hi everyone, Just needed some advice as I have just received a claim from Smart Parking/DCBL over an issue which was no fault of my own. 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…

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice regarding 11 Parking Charge Notices issued by Smart Parking. All of the alleged parking events took place at the same location over a period of time. However, I did not receive any of the notices individually. Instead, every single PCN was delivered together on 13 July 2026, meaning…

I have received a notice of rejection (formal) for a PCN for parking at a restricted single line which is restricted for 10-11am. I returned to my car at 10:02 am. Through FOI and SAR, I found out that the observation period for the PCN was betweeen 10:00:30 to 10:00:34, 4 second interval. The London Councils Civil…

Hello I got a NtK from UKCPS after overstaying in a retail park in Skegness. I've enacted Plan A to the site owner and retailers. I've also tried to appeal (blue template) as the RK to the PPC via the website on the back of the NtK but it doesn't work. There's no way to select 'reason' so it appears to have defaulted to…

Hello - I am a newbie here and have just come back from holiday to find two letters from HM Courts & Tribunal Service,yay…. One about a parking charge (both Parking Eye) from nearly 4 years ago and the other from nearly 2. I am hoping to get / use some of the fantastic advice I have seen on here, but I am totally lost…

But a permit was purchased within three minutes of parking. I wasn’t driving the vehicle but I made payment with my CC. My appeal as RK included a screenshot of the entry on my online bank statement. Appeal rejected (of course) but it was then that ECP introduced a different claim: I’d made a keying error! The last three…

Brief facts: Alleged breach: 25th July 2026 Parking Charge Issue Date: 4th August 2026 Reason: Exceeded maximum stay period ANPR My initial appeal to Horizon (rejected this morning) is that: a) The ANPR doesn't establish 'parking' period (although…

I received a private parking charge for “not parking within a marked bay” at a retail park. I was in the car park for just 54 seconds, as confirmed by the cctv timestamps, and was stationary for approximately 20 seconds. I had entered solely to collect a friend, who had already collected an order from one of the shops and…

This is quite long, but I need to vent about my recent experience with SIP Parking Limited (also known as SIP Car Parks) and also offer some tips for dealing with them. I received a PCN from SIP Parking about 6 weeks ago after parking in a restaurant car park and not realising I had to enter my registration into a terminal…

Hi all, Looking for advice on a Stansted Express Set Down PCN. My dad drove my car to drop me off for an early flight on 30 July at around 4:47am. The car was in the drop-off area for just under 3 minutes. I was responsible for paying the drop-off fee afterwards but, with the early start and getting into the airport for my…

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…
