Should I pay £170 UKPC debt recovery?
I have a lease car and I received a letter from VW to let me know I need to pay £60 for parking over a line while shopping at Matalan with my baby. I didn’t even realise I was parked over the line due to needing space to take out the baby and the buggy. I ignored the fine as I was so busy. I now have debt recovery letters…

Lancaster Park Virtual Permit
Good evening, We received this one today. Ive not come across a virtual permit charge before. Its near Leeds/Bradford Airport. Lancaster Park next to Costa. I dont have an image of the miniscule warning signs yet. Would I treat this the same as the generic car park/airport rip off PCNs? Thankyou for reading.

Thank you / success
I just wanted to say thank you for all of the advice here. I have just come out of my claim hearing, and the judge dismissed UKPA / Moorside’s claim in about 15 minutes on ‘balance of probabilities’. Thanks for all your help, and I believe the phrase is ‘another one bites the dust!’.

UKPC , DCB LEGAL court claim
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…
