Parking tickets, fines & parking

Hi All, Thank you so much for all your efforts on this forum. I have already stated that I'm going to despute all charges on MCOL and I have until 14/10/2026 to submit a defence against the claim below. I'm planning to submit the 10 points defence in the 2nd post of the pinned Template defence suggestion thread "the one…

Hi, Im a dumba$$, I got a fine for drop off at Heathrow despite the fact I didnt stop as it was hectic as hell at T3 as they short term parking was closed. I've had dealings with APCOA before, but for some reason I thought Id appeal based on the fact I was in and out in 3 mins which was spent queuing to get back out. Now I…

Hi all, I've received a parking charge letter from UKPC for the commuter car park at the Broadwalk Centre in Edgware. It says the car was "not parked correctly within the markings of the bay." It came by post, and there was no ticket on the windscreen. The car was in the bay and reversed back as far as it could go. There's…

Hi everyone, I've received a PCN stating that "obstructive parking is a contravention at the site." However, the car was never actually parked - passengers were still inside, waiting for a disabled family member. The warden took photos from a long distance and is claiming the car was parked, but if they had taken closer…

Hello In advance any advice/help is greatly appreciated. I'll try and be as brief as possible whilst also trying to ensure I include as much information so as to make my situation understandable. My wife (registered keeper) received a parking notice from UKPC for an overstay of 10 minutes and 36 seconds in a parking area…

I just got a letter through from the county court stating I owe DCB Legal approx £300 for not replying to the claim form. I have not received a claim form for this in the past and have always responded to the claim forms sent to me. Is there a way to appeal this or get the claim form resent to me? Or is there any other…

Hi, I stopped at the Premier Inn en route to my home in Scotland (M6J44) from 15:07 to 15:39. I waited patiently behind two other individual guests who were booking in, to see what availability and room rate was. It was more than I was prepared to pay, so I used the loo and left. I did spend some time sorting out the boot…

Hi all, Created an account to post this question as I'm unsure about what to do - I did read the newbies thread and used the template email from it, but my particular situation is not covered (parking on a PRIVATE ROAD as opposed to a CAR PARK) and thus I feel it may be different. I received one of these invoices from…

Hi there, My son (19), received an NTK for parking at Seel Street, Liverpool. He said that he paid for the parking and showed the payment details. I appealed to Initial Parking (IP), using the newbie thread and copied the blue text. I also added that he had paid for it and attached his bank statement (his ticket was lost).…

Hi, So the driver had mistakenly driven into the staff car park, for a grand total of 9 minutes. Things I have already done: Asked the reception for it to be cancelled - they said the site manager doesn't want to deal with it anymore so they won't forward it on. Seen the car park again - there is no barrier separating the…

Hi All, I have read over the Newbies thread and with all the great information in there, I'm a little confused what my options are and was hoping someone reading this thread might be able to help. Hand up that after reading the Newbies thread, I've already made so many mistakes thinking these companies and the relevant…

Hi all, I’ve read the Newbies thread and the CEL thread. Defence due 29 July — fairly confident in what we have but would welcome a review, particularly on two specific points. The basics: • Claimant: Civil Enforcement Limited • Site: Leagrave Road, Luton • Date of incident: August 2025 • Registered keeper: defendant (my…

Hello, here is another one from Civil Enforcement directly. Novotel on Cherry Lane near Heathrow. I don't think it is within the Byelaws Land. Driver is a private hire driver who works with a company that has an office in the Novotel hotel. They also have a little "break room" for drivers to come and relax for a break if…

This thread started life as a discussion about the DLUHC's Call for Evidence but EDITED 2025: Let's kick this off again in 2025 as evidence for the MHCLG for the Summer Public Consultation. We need evidence of private parking t&cs signs. If you take photos yourself, please show them as a screenshot to show the date a photo…

Hi all, I've been parking at a friends car park and my reg has been entered many times. I received a fine with Civil Enforcement and appealed it knowing (incorrectly) my Reg had been entered.

Hi From the Newbies thread I know I should complain to Sainsbury's first, but we weren't shopping there, just practising parking on a Sunday evening 28th June from 8.30 pm to 8.52 pm. This is the car park that the driving test centre use on the test so my daughter went there to practise. My local Sainsburys has a 2/3 hour…
