Parking tickets, fines & parking

Okay so I'm new and confused and have looked at guides re. the legal process after neglecting to pay their demanded charges. Just want some clarifcation/ guidance. Currently, appeal has been denied (of course) - the deadline for paying 'reduced' charge of £60 closes day after tomorrow - but technically I can no longer do…

Apologies for the long post. I have tried to keep it strictly to necessary information, although I don't want to cut out anything that may be relevant either and so erred on the side of "keep it in". I have also tried to organise it to make it as easy to follow and find the relevant parts as possible. Background No charges…

Hi all, I’d be grateful for feedback on my added defence paragraph for a Civil Enforcement Limited claim. I have read the NEWBIES thread and the current template defence thread.

Hi all I received a PCN from these jokers which was issued very late and without photos of any signage. I appealed as below: Re: Parking Charge Notice number: 703515 42 I dispute your 'parking charge' as the keeper of the vehicle. I deny any liability or contractual agreement, and there will be no admission as to who was…

Unfortunately it's probably too late to get this added to the proposed CoP by now, but It should, in my opinion, be made mandatory for ALL parking Operator's who enforce ALL their car–park sites T & C's with ANPR to add a prominent GPS LED Time Display also showing the V.R.M. in question near the entrance and exit (e.g. a…

Hello, I was visiting Burgess Hill and decided to go to Waitrose. Since it was a supermarket, I did not even think to look for how much/where to pay etc, and I did not notice any glaring signs with prices on. I was there 22 minutes and then left. A few days later I went and parked in a bay that had a sign (not all bays…

Hi! I lease my car from Arval. I parked in an NCP c2c train station car park and I thought I had set up the autopay function on the 4th November 2024. Unfortunately, there was one crucial button that I didn’t press therefore the car reg was added to the portal but not on the autopay function. I didn’t find this out until…

Having read all the cases on this thread regarding "Double Dips" and "APR Misreads :– The question I have to ask is :– . . .Is this deliberate action by ANPR software (I presume PPC's use this) to automatically record a "Double Dip" by being programmed to automatically delete the first exit and second entry of the same…

I parked in a CPM car park and had to download the app, Sippi to pay for my parking. The app downloaded on my phone and I entered my credit card details. I faithfully thought I'd paid for parking and have a screen shot to show that my card was registered. I tapped 'pay' and went about my day. However, I received a fine for…

Hi, I am sorry if you have heard all of this before. I am just feeling stessed by a claim for a parking ticket. I have just acknowledged online I have recieved it on CNBC and hope to defend it. The keeper is trying to plan further steps but in truth has no idea what to do or how to approach it or even if it is worth doing…

. . .This morning my friend and I parked in the P & D car–park opposite the road from Walsall Manor with the intention of buying an hour's parking for which the currently advertised tariff (see pics) is £1.80 . . . Unfortunately because of the very poor state of the payment machine's keypad selection buttons, it defaulted…
