Hi I recently received a claim form for a parking charge for Britannia Parking through BW legal. I parked in a car park and did not pay, as I thought after a certain time it was free.

Have been issued with a PCN from Parkingeye for a car that I lease. Lease company originally received the PCN as registered keeper and sent me a copy of the PCN and their letter to Parkingeye informing them of my details as hirer. Received almost identical PCN to my address about 2 weeks later which was just a double sided…

Hi everyone, I've unfortunately just had a POPLA appeal refused by an assessor who has dismissed a clear app/system failure as "subjective user error." I'm looking for independent advice on my next steps and whether to sit tight or pay. The Context: I parked in a third-party EV charging bay at a Marston's site. I spent…

Hi everyone, I need some advice. I was fined for parking somewhere that I paid to park, I paid once and then extended my stay. I received the fine in the post a while later and was confused since I had the Ringgo receipts for the payment. The company issuing the fine wouldn't tell me why I was being fined and just kept…

Hello all, I must say that Claude has this forum on high regard since it repeatedly recommended to try to get some advice from here. Here is the case 1. I visited a pub on New Year's Eye of 2024, parked my car, stayed there for 30mins or so and left. I hadn't seen any sign indicating that a parking fee needed to be paid.…

Good evening, The driver fell asleep one night on the way back from work cause he was feeling exhausted and went over the free parking limit. I found a similar case on the forum of a person mentioning a telegraph article where a MOTO spokesman states there policies of not charging drivers for taking a nap due to safety…

Just starting to write my defence, I've received a total of ten letters since the incident in late 2021 all filled away. I did the initial appeal as the registered keeper only "saying something along the lines of bring it on" I was waiting for the letter of claim which 100% has not been received at either of my two private…

I stayed at the McDonalds car park for 1hour and 20 minutes rather than just the 1 hour (from what I recall I did leave and come back in because of something however I may be wrong). Would it be best to just ignore this or should I do the template response I found in the forums, which was: Dear Sir or Madam, Re: Parking…

Hubby received a parking charge for parking on a double yellow line outside a family members property (estate parking patrol by Wing Security). He was using a hire van so I'm concerned to just ignore it as I imagine the NTK will be sent to the hire company and they will most likely just pay it and deduct the amount from…

Since then, we have received multiple letters from Debt Recovery Plus, CST Law, DCBL and now DCB. They had initially claimed we received 8 letters when we only received about 2 or 3 and even in the…

Hi all, I'm having great joy with Total Car Parks who name themselves as creditor on the Notice to Keeper. However it's not that simple. TCP are subcontracted for the site by County Car Parks who in turn are contractually bound to the landowner- So the big question is.. Who's the creditor? Thanks everyone.
