Parking tickets, fines & parking

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…

I got this fine twice. I went into the Burger King/Cafe Nero parking area. I parked up for 5 mins but then I had to make a pickup from the airport so I had to leave. After I did the pickup I entered not to park but to go through the drive through The Burger King got my order wrong and so I had to drive in again 5 mins…

Hello, long time no post, but I continue to follow the forum. A friend has received a PCN from Euro Parking Services. He stopped on a residential service road, double yellow lines, for the purposes of loading/unloading. The PCN claims a period of parking of around 9 minutes. Of the eleven evidence images, only four show…

Hi I received an LBC from CST after multiple warning letters etc. Following advice on the newbies page I submitted a SAR to the parking co and advised CST that I'd done so and that I am seeking debt advice. Do I wait for them to contact me again or do I need to get back to them before the 30 days (since the SAR request)…

I hope everyone is well, unfortunately I have found myself in the situation with another PCN again. This is for overstaying in a McDonald's car park. I contacted McDonald's and they said they don't have the authority to cancel and I have to go through the parkeing operator I missed the deadline to make an appeal to 'Civil…

Hi all, I've read the NEWBIES thread and post #2 on court claims. I've just filed my Acknowledgment of Service via MCOL and would be very grateful for help drafting my defence. Key facts: Claimant: National Car Parks Limited (NCP) Solicitor: Moorside Legal Services Ltd Court: CNBC Northampton (N1SDT claim form) Issue date:…

I took my two year old child to the cinema and parked at Rock Street. I took a photo of the pay by phone code intending to pay for parking while we rushed to the cinema. Unfortunately the app was not loading properly on my phone and with the distraction of getting a young child settled I did not complete the payment at…

Hi, I am a returning to this board after a long hiatus - I previously (2014) received excellent advice from the regulars on here to successfully appeal a PCN on the grounds of GPEOL (amongst other things), so thanks again for that. Fast forward to 2026 and another member of the family has recently received a PCN for the…

Hi. Would anyone know if the defence for being parked in a Car Club Bay would be any different than a private car park? I searched the address and it looks like it is run by Enterprise. My partner is the RK but this was his daughter's car, and he was about 100 miles away on the date of the alleged contravention - we are…

Firstly, thanks in advance for any help provided! I had originally posted this on FTLA, but I understand now that the MSE forum may be better suited for this. I have read the newbies forum, but a mistake was made earlier, and now there's worry that it's messed up any hope for the PCN being cancelled. It was advised that…

Friend parked their car in a Uni carpark at the weekend for kids football. Been parking here for couple of years and no issue. They got a letter from National Parking Control with photos showing they weren't parked in a bay. The car park is always rammed with double parking, parking on the grass verge etc. I have tried to…

As the title suggests, DCB Legal have been in touch regarding parking tickets from 2021/22, these pertain to parking in a gym car park operated by SMART parking. I was authorised to use the parking space as a member of the gym, but must have forgot a couple of times to input my vehicle registration details onto their…

Hi This is my first time posting on any forum but I really need advice on this please it is a bit long winded but I hope it makes sense and someone can help.

Hi There I am only at Stage 2 of the First Eight stages - Ignoring them. But I wanted to start a specific thread for possible assistance with witness statement and in case they don't discontinue.

Hello everyone, A little legal advice please. I received a letter from BW Legal for a parking fine issued while parked at the beach. I did not realise one needed to pay for parking. The fine was sent to my old address, despite the logbooks, driving licence and tax details being updated for all vehicles in the household,…

Hi everyoneI am after some advice relating to a PCN I received whilst charging my company car (not owned by myself), at an InstaVolt charging station situated in the car park of the Gissons Hotel, Exeter.
