Parking tickets, fines & parking

Hi, brief outline…… I had a BIG surprise birthday and my family travelled to be with me. We all met up in the Beefeater on the Sunday for breakfast. I think there were 5 cars. Every one of us has had a ticket from Horizon. Unfortunately most have paid it. Apparently we should have registered when we went in but not one of…

Morning all. I received a claim form dated 26th May and have completed the AOS (yesterday), now working on the defence. I've read through all the advice on here and have copied the template defence, adding in the suggested wording for Chan & Akande etc at paragraph 3, since it is the usual CEL POC. I've also added in…

Hello, I’ve received a letter regarding a claim made against me by car park securities. The breach of contract terms is that I overstayed by 26m and 9s, and thus sent a parking fine. I appealed, however I did not receive an appeal rejection and when I reached out they said (paraphrasing) they are not responsible to the…

hi all, first post on here so I apologies if any of my etiquette is off! I received a parking charge from APCOA for an airport drop off fee. In the past I have used one of the many very helpful appeals posted here and been successful! Unfortunately this time, I had moved from the address and missed the letters. My previous…

Hi there, I'm starting a new thread for 2 PCNs from First Parking which were received 3 weeks apart for parking in the same car park. I've gone round in circles on other threads for hours and wondering if the time spent is worth saving the £290 they want from me, however, it is a matter of principle and I would really…

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…

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.

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 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…

These changes provide…
