Parking tickets, fines & parking

Hi all, I would really appreciate some guidance on my current situation please, as I’ve now reached the defence stage and want to make sure I’m on the right track. Starting to get a bit concerned about the whole thing… Parking charge issued by Minster Baywatch at Kingston Centre, Milton Keynes and claim has been escalated…

Here we go again.... A friend popped over to Eurocarparts in Coventry on a Sunday morning. It gets very busy and the car park was full. Being a Sunday the unit next door (QED) was closed with the shutters down so like any normal, right-minded member of the public who has ever frequented Industrial Estates in the UK for the…

Good evening. I'm the keeper of a vehicle that Times Parking are claiming visited the drop off zone at Gatwick for about five minutes. I have appealed as keeper, citing the usual information. Including the fact that POFA doesn't apply in this case, and even if it did they are significantly out of the 14 days window. In…

Hi Forum, I'm back again with another PCN—this time for parking slightly outside a white line. I've already submitted the standard template appeal to UKPC, which was unsurprisingly rejected. They've now issued me a POPLA code. Would it be worth proceeding with an appeal to POPLA? If so, is there an up-to-date template I…

Hello everyone, I've received a Letter of Claim and, after reading through several posts on here, decided to start a new thread to ask for some advice. Do you think it's worth defending this claim, or would I be better off settling it? The situation is as follows: I was in London for work and parked my car late at night.…

Hi all I ran out of time when I parked in a bay as was in a rush and misread the sign. I should have put £2.50 in and only put £2.00. I assumed from the sign it would be £1 an hour, but only had 2 options: up to 1 hour (£1) and up to 4 hours (£2.50), However I was only parked for an hour and 45 minutes so the parking…

Hi all, I hope I am not going to annoy anyone by starting a thread on this as I can see it has been covered a million times before! I have read the sticky over and over and in all honesty I have confused myself with what I actually need to do! The story - Back in June after the car that we were travelling in to the airport…

Got a PCN from Premier Park for parking at Grosvenor Casino, Leicester. Details: Entry/Exit: 19:13–19:28, 04/09/2026 (15 minutes total) Reason given: "Unauthorised Entry / Parking (ANPR)" Charge: £100 (£60 if paid early) Notice type: Postal NTK, sent to registered keeper BPA member My appeal to Premier Park (as keeper,…

Hi, The car was parked in a retail car park in London. UKPC claim that the car wasn't parked in the bay. The photos don't show any bay line being crossed but UKPC claim that the vehicle blocked such lines, so the photos don't show it. In the POPLA appeal, UKPC uploaded random photos of some other signs and also map of…

Hi, Every weekday morning my partner drops our child off at the bus stop, parking in Waitrose. Then pops in Waitrose for a small shop and then returns later to pick him and do more shopping. The system is picking him entering at 4.45pm and then suggesting he is leaving the next day. This so far has reached £500, all 5…

Hi all. Newbie here so I hope I’m doing this correctly 🙏. I have 2 parking charges I am disputing at the moment and I would be really grateful if anyone has any advice or suggestions. I feel so strongly that these charges are unfair that I haven’t paid either charge and now have the charges going up. First is from…

Hi Apologies how long winded this seem, but the details matter to help give you a clear picture. I used to work for Evri (don't judge), and when I started the depot we had to go to to collect the parcels to deliver had cameras up and I did see some signs re parking but as nobody from Evri H/O y email or their staff at the…

Hi, Like many others on the thread, was caught out using the Starbucks car park and entering McDonalds late at night in August 2026. Based on advice from this website I appealed this with MET Parking. This was rejected and I appealed again via POPLA. I did not identify the driver. MET have responded to the POPLA appeal…

Hi all, I received a CCJ to an old address from G24 ltd regarding a parking event in May 2025. I was able to collect my old mail from my previous address included the POC and all threatenings mails from DCBL Baliffs. After reading the NEWBIES posts and related subthreads, I prepared a letter for DCBL to set aside the court…

Hello all I just wanted to check that the following advice is still valid (as at June 2026) as there does not seem to be any recent threads. NoPC left on car parked at a TfL tube carpark Ignore it. Wait to receive Notice to Keeper (NTK). If an NTK is received, appeal using the language below. SABA will refuse the appeal…

Hi Guys This was September last year. They sent the PCN, reminder, LOC (to which I replied with my address for service) and now got the county court claim document dated 2nd June. I am going to do the MCOL and AOS I guess I can use the template from the template defence thread, coupan-mad's post last edited 12th Feb is the…

Hi forum, I have skimmed the advice in this section. In truth I did not do it originally because this is about a parking ticket ticket that was paid but escalated to a debt collection company anyway. On xx May 2026 I used a car park run by oneparkingsolution. On exit I paid at the payment kiosk which was next to the park…

I thought I’d share a successful outcome in case it helps anyone facing a similar parking charge at a Forestry England site. Background I received a £50 Parking Charge Notice (£25 discounted) from CP Plus, trading as GroupNexus, following a visit to Cardinham Woods in Cornwall. The parking tariff had not been paid because…

Hello everyone. My father recently got a parking fine for entering an ASDA from Horizon parking at [20:20] on [29/09/2026] and leaving at [14:54] on [30/09/2026], so he stayed for 18 hours according to them. However, he didn't stay for 18 hours and I have ring video footage of his van at home with the license plate visible…
