Hi all I submitted my defence in June and I realised I hadn't heard anything back, so today I logged into the MCOL portal and saw that apparently in July I had been sent the DQ, which I did not receive. I have now also seen that as of yesterday I got a general sanctions order. There were also two case stay lifted notices…

Hi, Bit of advice please. My wife as RK received 2 Parking CNs from Smartparking for two separate overstays in the same carpark back in 2024 during our family holiday in England. For one PCN, she appealed, the appeal failed, she paid up the £60. Unfortunately, she didn't realise she had received a second PCN from the same…

I received PCN from CPM and i have already appealed as hirer of the vehicle without naming the driver. They sent an email acknowledging my appeal but they ‘cannot verify’ the info provided. (Whatever that means) They are requiring name and address of the driver in order to deal with an appeal and to submit the information…

Hi all, my husband received a NTK from a euro car parks car park in Clacton. The car park doesn't belong to a retailer so we sent off the template from the 'NEWBIES' page (thanks to Coupon-mad). Like another poster on the forum, the machine played up a few times but my husband eventually received a ticket but didn't…

Hi all, I'd appreciate some advice on a situation involving Excel Parking. My wife visited TK Maxx at New Hall Walk, Suttoncoldfield twice this week, after school pickup (Monday and Tuesday). The car park is owned by the landlord and shared by several retailers. Parking is free for up to 3 hours, provided customers enter…

I have been served a £100 parking charge notice for charging my car at a PUBLIC CHARGER in a Premier Inn car park. The car park has two sections that do not appear to be joined. There is no signage where I entered. There is no barrier at entry. The charger itself has a vague sign, "Parking restrictions may apply, please…

I recently received a DCBL notice of debt recovery for £170 regarding a PCN that apparently occurred November last year, and this is the first correspondence I receive regarding this case.

Hello, I’m looking for some advice. 4 years ago I attended a hospital appointment at the Bowthorpe community hospital in Norwich, Norfolk, for an appointment with my disabled son. The payment machine wasn’t working and I could not miss the appointment. So I took a photograph of the machine and attended my appointment. When…

Dear Forum, My partner received this from Parking Eye. Particulars: She received a call to go to the hospital where her dad had been rushed due to a stroke (haven’t got proof of this but could likely get it) on 22/4/22. The car park isn’t part of the hospital, but sits over the road from it. The machine wasn’t working and…

Dear Hive, My partner took our son to Hollywood Bowl in Oxford and stayed for 3 hours 1 minute. She forgot to sign the car in at reception (which entitles you to 4 hours free). Cue ParkingEye ‘fine’ of 100, kindly reduced to 60. I’ve emailed Hollywood Bowl asking them to have it cancelled as it was a simple oversight but…

Hi all, I received a PCN from Smart Parking Ltd on the 12th of Jan 2024. I appealed the claim, but did not get a response so I ignored further communications.

Hello everyone, I would really appreciate some advice as I’m feeling quite overwhelmed by this. In January 2026, I drove to University Hospital Coventry after my mother-in-law was transferred there following a heart attack.

Hello, Please bear with me this is a bit of a long one. So around a month ago I received a letter from DCBL stating I had a CCJ of £315 against me for a unpaid parking charge from high view parking.
