Parking tickets, fines & parking

Hello. It has been suggested that NCP monitor these forums, so I shall keep this brief. I have recently been issued with a Parking Charge to Keeper, wherein they describe a time I allegedly failed to pay for parking. The date of the alleged incident was on 08/04/2026, and the date it was issued was 09/05/2026. They state…

Hi everyone, I received a debt collectors letter 2 months ago for a parking ticket from late 2025. They sent it to one of my old address apparently and I never had the chance to appeal. I did pay the parking ticket, via an app, but selected the wrong vehicle. I have proof of this on my app. I only came across this thread…

Hi all, I’m looking for advice on whether there’s anything else I can do to fight a parking charge issued by Park & Control. On 25 January, I took my son and two friends to the ice rink in Streatham. I parked in the APCOA car park there, which I’ve used many times before without any issues. After the skating session, I…

We have received a court claim for one of our company cars. The issue date on the claim form was 10/11/2025. I submitted the AoS 24/11/2025. I've read through the forum advice (several times), but I'm still not confident on my defence. I've copied and pasted what I think is the correct defence template and included para 3…

Hi, Literally just received this PCN (12th May 2026). The driver (who was not me) has a bank statement showing payment, and believes, but is not certain that it covers the entire period. There's a history n Google Reviews of this car park issuing PCNs which people believe are not valid. Looking at the Car Park on Google…

Nursery car park had issues, so we were instructed to use the car park of an adjacent building (managed by ParkingEye ANPR), and use a QR to register the vehicle every time we park there. One day, we forgot to use the QR code so we received a PCN. The duration of stay was 12 minutes. There are some generic signage in the…

Hi all UK-CPM monitor the parking on my Housing Association housing estate. I have an 'e-permit' for my road, but have still received a PCN, which claims I was in another road on the same estate. The photos show I was in my road, so the PCN is factually in error. I think the person who was checking cars on the estate must…

I live in a "fleecehold" where my freehold property is surrounded by private land. We have over 2,000 residential units, projected to grow over 5,000, with minimal commerce around (most of which have their own parking spaces). Nevertheless, our estate manager decided to control parking and have been issuing aggressive £100…

Hello, Last week I received a default judgement regarding a Smart Parking Claim on 27th April 2026. Now I have to pay around £340. (Claim form was sent in Nov 25). I did acknowledge it at the time and sent my defence thanks to this amazing forum. However I never sent in the DQ. I forgot about this step as I would’ve…

Please bear with me as I’m a newbie to this. I have received a claim form(n1sdt) which I shall post a picture of if possible. This is after receiving a letter from DCBL dated 25/5/2025 informing me of a PCN from 03/09/2021. I also received similar letters dated in June/july &Aug. These letters stated that I was not able to…

I’m looking for some advice regarding a private parking charge that has now reached Letter Before Claim stage. The incident took place on 21 April 2025 at Tesco Gallows Corner, Romford. The parking company is Horizon Parking and the solicitors are Gladstones. The vehicle was parked in a disabled bay while shopping at Tesco…

sorry new to the forum and it seems I hijacked someone’s thread , didn’t know what I was doing. Don’t know if anyone can help but is there any chance of me not paying a fine when I parked car in pub/restaurant disabled bay that said customers only. When reaching the door the pub was closed so went a few doors away for a…

Hi all, great help on this forum. I wish I’d known about it years ago when I lost a case against the previous avaricious car park management company at my flat. I’ve scoured the threads here and read parking prankster’s blog on similar cases but still have little faith I will win but I want to try. I appreciate any advice.…

Hi All I've received a LoC from dcbl recently relating to a parking charge claim dating back to 2021. Part of their attempted leverage is to suggest that interest is accruing at 8% above base rate. While I could just ignore this it has irritated (even further!) since I wrote to Smart Parking's previous agents four years…

Hello! Smart parking have been sending me demands for a parking fine for 4 years and have now sent me a civil national business centre claim for. I've been on moneyclaim and got an extension. I can't quite remember but think I went into the car park, saw it was expensive and left, they had cameras. A ai told me to email…

Hi, I need some advice/help and knew this would be the place to come. I received a parking fine from the council in December as my permit had expired and I didn’t realise. Now I know that the council doesn’t have to send out reminders and I have been through their t and c’s but this is something they usually do but didn’t…

Hi, I would appreciate some advice please. In 2022 I received charges from Smart Parking for parking in a pub car park that I drank in. I kept asking the pub to intervene and eventually they emailed me to say they ‘had confirmation this morning that this ticket has been cancelled’ I heard no more from Smart Parking so…
