Parking tickets, fines & parking

Hi all. Got a Horizon parking ticket back in May for staying longer than 15 mins in a Tesco car park on a Sunday. The store was closed and apparently you can’t stay for longer than 15 mins. I was there for like 30. I appealed to POPLA and Horizon came back with photos from 2024 showing that they have signage. I appealed…

Morning I received a parking charge to keeper from NCP. The date of incident 20.5.26, date sending letter 30.6.26, letter received in post 7.7.26. Not sure who was driving, as incident going back to May, also we received notice 7 weeks after the incident.

Can i suggest we stop saying APCOA dont issue court claims This is no longer true , it obviously was true but is no longer the case

Hi everyone, Apologies for the length of the post. I'm now at the POPLA stage after my keeper appeal was rejected. I've spent the last few weeks reading the NEWBIES thread, BPA CoP, and Jopson v Homeguard ruling, but before I submit my POPLA appeal I'd really appreciate a sense check. Background The PCN was issued by…

The timeline is as follows: Windscreen PCN: 17/05/2025 Appeal sent: 11/06/2025 (25 days since PCN) Appeal rejected: 12/06/2025 (26 days since PCN) Final Reminder: 18/07/2025 (62 days since PCN) So no NTK was received. I tried appealing via POPLA but the verification code (received with the rejection on 12/06) has expired.…

Any advice most welcome: I received a Letter of claim from Moorside (on behalf of NCP) on 30 April 2025 - followed the forum advice and responded with suggested template via e-mail on 25 May 2025. They finally responded on 22 September 2025 noting that I was 'seeking debt advice' and putting the matter on hold for 30 days.…

In 2023 I received a parking ticket from Parkingeye despite parking legitimately on a hotel car park. After months of rangling I went to court only for the other side not to turn up. The following day I received a letter from them saying the parking ticket had been cancelled. Over 3 years later I have received a letter…

Hi all, I’m hoping for some advice on how best to proceed with a private parking charge, as I believe there are both procedural and data issues. Background Parking company: total car parks (BPA member) Date of alleged contravention: December I paid to park on the day, but later realised I paid for the wrong car park…

Good afternoon, everyone, I have read the Newbies and other threads since the beginning of our parking “fine”. But I am at a loss here. This is the following situation: In June my partner had a bike crash (not her fault), and in the meantime, after the crash, for the time her bike was looked at, she got a hire bike from…

n from PE for over staying in asda car park. Need some advice please. One thing is header says parking charge notice reminder but this is the first letter received. Is it the original pcn and some kind of error by PE? Usually reminder are sent after 28 days of non payment. Also if this is the original pcn then i think its…

Hi everyone, I’m hoping for some advice regarding an APCOA parking charge at Stansted Airport. The alleged contravention was on 17 May 2026 in the pick-up/drop-off zone, with the reason given as: “Use of pick up/drop off zone without making a valid payment.” The driver has already admitted to being the driver, so this…

Hi, Looking for some advice. I’ve had two separate parking charges from UKPS, both passed to Trace Debt Recovery, and in both cases I never received any original notice the first I heard of either was Trace’s letters, weeks after the actual parking dates. The first was of £170 and second one they added another £170 due to…

Deleted pic, due to password being visible. I find number 3 extremely vague,(I never received early letters with their actual claim) does it count as failing to state the breach? not sure how to respond to that as I paid and left within time, so unsure what it would be. Sorry if it's very obvious, I’m not familiar with any…

Hello I think I've done something really silly as I corresponded with DCBL before finding the advice on these threads (you guys are amazing!). I used Chatgpt which gave me a letter template... I parked in my University car park (First Parking). My payment did not go through the Ringo App which I only discovered on…

Hi All, I would be grateful if you could scrutinise my witness statement. Bit of background, I entered the my wrong car reg when I paid for the parking ticket online. Unfortunately, I forgot to update my DVLA address of my current car and they sent the penalty notice to my old address. I only received the Letter Before…

Hi, I am due to go to court regarding residential parking fines I acquired years ago after part of my permit had slipped when driving. The permit is visible on the dashboard and says the bay number I was parked in. I received several fines and was not aware of this as there was no PCN and the DVLA was not up to date. I…

Hello Got myself deep into this Parking eye appeal business for a parking fine which I don't believe is justifiable. Work as a doctor, attended a community clinic, parked in a staff bay as per my reporting instructions, received a PE fine as they set up a camera at the entrance to the car park. Reasoning being there is…

Hi all, I’ve recently received a letter from Direct collections bailiffs ltd chasing me for 3 unpaid parking fines from 3 years ago and 2 years ago (February 2022 and May 2023). Ive read the newbies thread so know to ignore them and only to respond if I get a letter from DCB legal with the helpful templates I never…

Hi everyone, I received a Euro car parks fine for apparently staying in a petrol station for too long (35 minutes). I filled up petrol and air/screenwash and cleaned out the car (I have receipts for petrol and air). Today is the last of the 28 days for ‘payment to be made’. The car is a lease car and I am the hirer. What…
