Parking tickets, fines & parking

Hello all, My other half received a NTK from Parking Eye for parking in a hospital car park that her car was parked in. There was no other choice to park in an EV charging bay, in an EV, and the charger didn't work. The car was there for ~4 hours which is above their 3 hour limit allegedly on signage (will check this for…

Looking for a bit of advice before I decide what to do next. I received a private parking charge notice from LDK Group as the registered keeper of the vehicle. I was not the driver at the time. My original intention was simply to pay the reduced amount and recover the cost from the driver, but life got in the way and I…

so after 19 months and a court hearing scheduled to take place on 26th June 2026, I have today received NoD 🎉🎉 Thank you for all of the help and advice received from various people, I absolutely couldn’t have done it without you. It is bitter sweet though as I’ve spent so much time and stress over this but ultimately got…

Hi there, I have a county court hearing for an unpaid Parking Charge as the Registered Driver of the car, as I have photographic proof at there is insufficient signage at the car park. However, I realised that I ignored the POPLA appeals process, which could count against me. I didn't believe that this was a legitimate…

Hi all, I've read through the newbies sticky but only after submitting an appeal directly to the operator, so I'm not 100% sure I can use any of the templates from Edna Basher at this stage. I lease a car through my company (I'm one of the directors) via Lex Autolease. I was forwarded the NTK (Contravention date 29 Match,…

Hi There, I've had Claim Form letter through the post from from HM Courts and Tribunals service, with a money claim against me for a parking charge in 2022. I've already done some actions, and I have read through the guides however I'm still a little lost, so I'm posting here to check what I've done and any advice what to…

I have recently been to a cafe in my local area and the car park has been taken over by a private firm. We now need to put our car registration in at the cafe. I visited in March and got a fine through the post. I appealed and sent them a proof of purchase from the cafe but they have rejected my appeal. I have been on…

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some quick advice on a Parkingeye PCN issued at St John’s Street, Leicester (patron car park). The letter has come to my dad who is the Registered Keeper, but I was driving (I am an unemployed student). The vehicle was only on-site for 13 minutes total (13:12:44 to 13:25:54) on 10th May. I only…

Forgot to pay the drop off charge in early August and received the notice promptly from APCOA a week later. Then received a debt collection letter from Debt Recovery plus and didn't pay that either (by early November). I have read the newbies thread post 4 and it says to just ignore. If it were mine i would, but it's in my…

Morning can I ask for any advice with my court claim form please (issued 26/09/25), I've done the AOS and now compiling my defence. Anything specific I should add (ive read the excellent newbie thread) Parked in ECP car park for approx 30mins, machines kept on cancelling my transaction, have videos of this, Phone battery…

Hi people, I mistakenly posted the below on an existing thread, so I'm starting this new one which is about PCNs my dad received some time ago. For a bit of background, my dad is not far off 90 years old and we did unfortunately pay one of the extortionate PCNs from CEL a couple of years ago. He’s got two more outstanding:…

UK Parking Control & DCB Legal I have read many times and followed the newbies thread up to the point I am now at and I’m unsure how to proceed so any advice would be much appreciated. Supposed offence: parking in a loading bay. I used the loading bay for the purpose of loading/unloading for a short period of time. During…

Hi, So to delve in; a LBC has come through the post addressed to the keeper. Just a generic letter though, no specifics and pleas to pay and a few fear tactics added about ccjs etc. Now my issue is that as it was back in 2023, there is uncertainty if the keeper and/or driver had disclosed who the driver was at the time.…

Hi, I’m looking for advice regarding a VCS parking charge that has now gone to DCBL. I submitted an appeal originally but never received the rejection email or IAS details. The first thing I later received was a debt recovery letter with increased charges. I contacted VCS several times explaining I never received the…

Hello, I use a company van that my workplace leases. Last week, HR emailed me a scanned PCN which was addressed to the company - this was from Parkingeye. I believe they only sent the PCN itself and not the other required documentation, such as the hire/lease agreement—though I’ll fully confirm this tomorrow. I plan to use…

I received a PCN in April 2024 for parking 16 minutes without paying (with video evidence of the app not working on my phone). I went through the Ombudsman process and was willing to go to court. When the papers came through, I decided to submit a counter-claim of £250 for the time and difficulty caused by the whole…

Hi Can someone help me? I didnt send back the claim form, does this mean I have to pay? Thanks

Hi, just received a fine from APCOA at Bristol Parkway stating that I entered at 8am and left at 9pm, with pics of car. That's fine I did, but I also left at 810am and then entered again at 845pm. I have done this loads of time before. I dropped my partner off to catch train in morning and picked her up in evening. What…

Hi there, Apologies - I know there are a million threads like this one, but I just want to make sure I've properly understood everything before taking the next step. I received a PCN from Smart Parking Ltd for overstaying the maximum time in a car park at a retail park in Manchester. The Date of Contravention on the PCN is…
