Hi All I have been through this process many times thanks to this forum, and have supported many friends and family in following this guidance. However, one case with BWLegal has been set for hearing on the 20 something of August. BWLegal have served their bundle of documents, with a paralegal's witness statement and…

Oh god! Completely forgot to pay drop off charge and just received this PCN today. Please advise.

Hi all. My wife received a claim form. If you google the opticians and read their reviews, many people have had the same problem, she literally pulled into the space for a minute. In the past, it has gone this far once and we used one of them companies who charge £50/£60 and fight it who won. However, this time I’m not…

After losing at Popla when they selected Stevie Wonder as their latest assessor I have now received a reminder from our friends at Horizon. I'm wondering what options for fun there are here as they have replicated the reverse from a PCN, meaning I'm now allowed infinite Popla appeals apparently. The car had broken down, so…

Looking for advice on a Parking Charge Notice from Civil Enforcement Ltd. The car park serves a leisure centre plus several restaurants and shops on the same site in North London.

Hello all! I wish I had found this earlier... sounds like I did everything wrong so far and now have a claim form from DCB Legal. But I have read the forum and won't panic. I now filed the AOS and have time. I'm posting because I believe my defence should be slightly different than the template (although I intend to use…

Hi. Earlier this year, I received two infringement notices from UK Parkinson Control about 2 separate incidents but both involving a Blue Badge holder. In the first infringement the Blue Badge was not a valid reason to park in this space ( unknown to us that any parking regulations had changed since we parked there before)…

Hello all As requested I have started a new thread. This where I am thus far. I have followed the instructions to defend the whole amount. Now I am starting the defence.

Hi All, thanks to advice on this forum a few years ago I successfully defended an earlier claim. I now have two further claims from DCB legal, on 9f which has reached the Court Claim stage and I would appreciate some advice. The original claim was for an overstay at a car park in July 2022. Using advice from this forum, I…

I appealed a PCN with POPLA, following the excellet guidance on the NEWBIES thread - guidance I have followed successfully on previous appeals. I have just heard my POPLA appeal was rejected. The appeal was on grounds of a non-compliant NtK as well as signage, ANPR, etc but as NtK was not compliant, I thought it was a sure…

I received a similar letter to thread here (won't let me post the link) from Moorside legal with a claim form attached a few months ago and now I've received a hearing date and have confirmed with the court that Moorside have paid the hearing fee. I'm due in court in a weeks time and just wanted some advice for how to go…

Hi all, In case it proves useful to anyone else here, here is my POPLA appeal letter, which resulted in the PPC (UK Parking Control Ltd) 'withdrawing' my appeal and cancelling the charge (!!!!!!). https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ksFymNRBdENK1MC1lrM-t_xuMYzQ71kX/view?usp=sharing I really dislike how they can try and mug…

I wasn't there at all that day, my Google timeline backs this up. I've sent screenshots with on the appeal. what can I expect, now. Thanks

Firstly I apologise for creating a new thread on what is obvious a well discussed thread elsewhere. I have read the newbies thread but just needed a bit more clarity on the situation as the RK has been in contact with Smart Parking. A PCN was received back in 2024 regarding insufficient paid time. The RK appealed stating…

Hi, just wondering if someone can help me I’m not very tech savvy. I received the £170 from DCB legal for parking fine from 2021.
