Parking tickets, fines & parking

Hi, Please let me know if you need more details - I am being vague as I am not sure details are wise to include to keep it anonymous. I have now received a county court claim form for an alleged parking contravention in February 2020. I had received letters about this but ignored these up to the sending of a 'letter of…

Below from the Claim Form Particulars of Claim The driver of motor vehicle registration [REDACTED] (the Vehicle) parked in breach of the prominently displayed terms and conditions of parking set out on the signage at [REDACTED LOCATION / BUSINESS NAME] on [REDACTED DATE]. The signage constituted an offer of a unilateral…

As per title, unfortunately I engaged in an appeal directly with VCS (parking administrator for Bristol airport, where this happened) for my charge notice before coming across this forum. In doing so I inadvertently confirmed to them that I had been the one driving. My appeal has been rejected. The original incident…

I received a PCN from Euro Parking Services for parking at Capability Green, Luton, for 3 minutes and 46 seconds. Background: I drive a Tesla Model 3. On the day this happened, just before parking there, I experienced a malfunction of the car's main screen (which also serves as a dashboard) and therefore I had no speed…

Hi all, Received today a parking charge notice to keeper from UKPA, no letter to driver as licence plate recognition cameras were used. Have attached images but breakdown is as follows: Parking took place 28th July in Livingston, Scotland. Delivered today, 11th August. Reason for charge notice is non-payment. After…

I’m currently contesting a parking ticket issued by Parking Eye which stated that I overstayed at a parking spot by 45 minutes. We have gone through the mediation stage and it has now been referred to court. I have received notice of the hearing and in the letter it asks for evidence to be provided. However, the date of…

Got a parking fine a while ago, but due to moving house, didn't receive the letter in the time I was given to appeal. It's now reached a stage of receiving a "Letter Before Action", but I'm still unable to dispute. I was accused of staying in a KFC car park for 3 hours and 30 minutes, which beyond being a ridiculous…

Nforce Parking Management - £170 for a 3 min infringment in a small shop carpark out of trading hours. Initial PCN never received (presume never sent as my V5 has correct address). ZZPS £170 invoice arrived weeks later. Have SAR back from PPC showing the stay was under 3 minutes! Awaiting SAR from DVLA to see if PPC…

I have only…

Hi, I've received a PCN from Horizon dated 27 July for an 18th July breach - failure to validate. I wasn't aware the rules had changed at Tesco Hove, but I don't go there very often any more. I got it a few days before I went on holiday so stuffed it in my bag and am now dealing with it. I noted the recent comments like…

Is this NTK POFA compliant? Have checked the examples in the newbies thread but this one is worded slightly differently. Also is it normal for the "Pay by date" box to be left blank?

Hi all, I recently received 2 Penalty Charge Notices from Manchester council after parking on a suburban residential street for a number of days while I stayed in the city centre. The PCN was issued after I parked on Danesmoor Road, M20 3JS, which I have since found out is a residential permit holders area, but I believe…

Newbie here. Have had a look through the threads and can't find anything similar to my situation so hope it's ok to start a new thread. Background - I parked at a leisure centre carpark run by Gemini parking. I paid £3 at the ticket machine on Apple Pay. I heard a beep when I touched my phone to the transaction pad but…

Hi all - apologies for yet another thread, I just wanted to check if anyone can shed any light on my situation. I parked in ANPR controlled car park - when I went to leave the machine wouldn't recognise my number plate. I found one of the staffed kiosks and the member of staff said they couldn't take payment - but advised…

Moderator please delete thread

Hi All, I tried to read the FAQ but found it difficult to find something in relation to my situation. December last year, i sold my house in England and have moved to Italy but i left my 2 cars behind till i bought a place here. 1 is a classic and is still in a garage being restored while the other offending car i left…

There was no screen ticket. As I understand it, the failure by Horizon to send an ANPR notice with 14 days means as long as the keeper does not name the driver, there is no case. I'd welcome cofirmation of this. If that's correct, is the recommendation still to contact Tesco first, given that it is essential the driver not…

They provide no email address to respond to but they are a trading name of ZZPS. Should I email their provided email address customeservices@zzps.co.uk with my template rebuttal?

Seen this today a very good read and outcome against CEL https://www.aol.co.uk/articles/man-taken-court-two-battle-063724000.html
