Parking tickets, fines & parking

I come asking with many pleases, if anyone would be willing to help me out on how to approach this. I would be forever greatful. Please bare with some of the ranting nature of this thread... apologies in advance, I haven't really been able to vent on this since it happened. So, the on hold appeals appear to have been…

Good afternoon, A fine has been received for 'overstay on free parking' at the stansted airport EV hub (which also houses caffe nero and burger king). A couple of points: - the evidence shows that the vehicle entered and exited within 50 minutes - free parking is 1 hour. - the signage is at the point of entry (attached)…

Hi all, The ParkingEye hounds have been set lose and are out for my blood. I've been sent a Claim Form for overstaying in a shopping park car park, which I 100% know that I did not as that would mean I'd have to shop for longer than 3 hours and I can't imagine anything more gruelling. I have sent 2 emails of complaint (one…

Hey guys, First off, thank you all for providing this wealth of information on the forum. As many others, I'm fighting a 'parking contravention' at Stansted, ('Parking in a restricted street during prescribed hours.') I have appealed on their site first without any success, their response is below: (Spoiler) I have drafted…

Hi all, I have had a letter come through demanding money through a CCJ from a parking event in 2021. Even though I parked paid for it and appealed it at the time. The specific car park within the hospital works on validation service for private hospital customers and is free. So not in same "plan" as the rest of the car…

Haven’t seen one on McDonalds and Met Parking since 2021 so thought I’d make one. Received a Notice To Keeper (NTK) recently for something over a month ago. Looking for advice on how this might go with metparking. We went to McDonald’s to speak to the manager and they said they’d ask but didn’t have control over it. So I…

Hi, Hope you’re able to help. I logged onto my credit report yesterday and noticed a CCJ had been added to my account. I phoned the CNBC this morning and found out that it had been added by Horizon Parking (or more their solicitors Gladstone Solicitors) for a parking issue back in 2024. They’ve registered it (and must have…

Hi Everyone, Before posting this I used the search, I read the threads, but I'm still unsure of my steps here beyond 'it's time to stop ignoring the letters'… Back in 2022 I received a Parking Charge from Horizon for an overstay in a car park of a car which I actually don't know if I was the registered owner for at the…

Hi, My parents (keeper) received a parking fine for overstaying (38 mins) for parking in the Starbucks bit instead of McDonald's. Can I appeal on their behalf? Whats the first step? I tried finding the details for McDonalds manager but the distance is too far to visit in person. TIA

My daughter has today received a parking fine for stopping at A Zone in Bristol Airport. My Dad had been rushed into hospital for life-saving surgery; I was in Spain and had to get home the same day. My daughter came to get me, paid to come through the barrier and then when I rang her to say I was on the front, she drove…

Hello. I know we have some practiced BW Legal heads in these forums. I got a fine from them in Dec 2024 about an incident in Oct 2024. I had stopped for 7 minutes in a restaurant car park because my daughter spilled hot coffee on her lap. I saw a forecourt of a restaurant so pulled in as all the roads were double yellow. I…

Mum is an Islington resident with a valid resident parking permit. She had a severely infected tooth and was taking antibiotics, and had booked an emergency root canal. Before the procedure she needed to attend a consultation. Her appointment was originally scheduled for 1pm, so she parked in a resident bay close to the…

Hi all, I received a PCN from CE for what we think was a major keying error. The initial notice was received after the 14 day statutory period, we appealed, and were unsuccessful but then could not do an additional keying error appeal. I found this forum after submitting my defence which was regrettable, but I have been…

Good morning all. Absolutely gutted to get another PCN from this scammer. Wonder how many motorist might have just paid them and how they have been allowed to operate is questionable!! Just stopped by the side of the road next to the building waiting to pick up a friend whose gone to the bank on the high street in Hounslow…

Hi, I was rushing to get to the Heath Hospital in Cardiff hospital because my mother had recently had a severe brain anuerism and she was going in for an emergency operation to save her life. I parked in the nearest place to the hospital building as I wanted to see my mother before she may have passed away, I did not…

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…

Can anyone help? I have received a fine for parking in a parent & child bay without a child by ECP in my local Sainsbury's. I have received a notice to keeper with two pictures of my car at 12.00 on a date in early august. Are they not required to have some kind of video footage? I do not disagree that I parked there on…

Hi All. I have read through a lot of stuff on here but still haven't been able to come to a conclusion if I should try and fight a PCN. I probably have done the wrong thing by ignoring correspondence but now have received a CLAIM FORM for the alleged offence, prior to the Claim letter we got two letters from Debt Recovery…
