Parking tickets, fines & parking

Hi - I received a fine from Workflow Dynamics for "overstaying", together with photo evidence from them that my car was in the car park for just over 2 hours. However, arrival and departure were both within the evening time zone, which is a flat rate for 12 hours parking. So, I assumed it was an admin error, appealed to…

Hi all, Recently parked my van and paid accordingly, needed extra time so paid an additional hour. However, I paid the for the following day, not for the actual day, obvious fault by myself. Now this is a works vehicle and they have appealed on my behalf but I wanted to take the charge and appeal it myself so I can put my…

Went into a fuel station now three weeks ago, bought something (can't remember what, it was 3.80) and was not charged for the fuel, what are my rights here? Them asking for a £35 surcharge is insanity, especially when it is not my error. I am obviously going to contact them asking to waive this, but I thought I would ask…

I received a claim form from DCB Legal and submitted my AOS on 05/08/25 using the site. I kept a note of the gateway reference and logged in again a week later to file my defence. Now when I enter my claim number and password, they’re not recognised. I tried emptying the cache, a different browser and even a different…

Hi All, Thank you for all of your advice on this subject, it has helped a great deal. I have received a claim form / threat of CCJ for a parking fine in July 2022. I have submitted AOS and about to submit defence via MCOL. Do I tick yes or no for making a counterclaim? (I have said I defend ALL of the claim). Also, do I…

Hi All, I have read through the advice that others have kindly put up and followed it up to now, but now not sure of my next move. We have appealed this NTK PC with the template appeal in the newbie section. They have turned it down. Any help on the next steps or pointers would be most excellent thank you in advance.

Hi there, thank you in advance for the help. I've read through all the threads and think I know what to do but want to double check. The original supposed violation was from June 2024 when I was heavily pregnant. I've been fighting this longer than my son has been alive, had all appeals etc rejected and just want to put…

Hi all I'm new on the forum and in need of advice please. This afternoon (30/10/26) I have received notice of debt recovery - unpaid parking charge £170.00 from Direct Collection Bailiffs Ltd. The date on the notice is 22/10/2026 . A week after the date. The notice states I have 14 days to pay. Iam the registered keeper…

Came back from holiday on Friday to find this beauty waiting for me (for an alleged offence on 02.10 and allegedly posted on 06.10). The deadline for paying the reduced sum was 20.10 and we're obviously past that. This forum has been of great help with the last such ticket I got (back in 2023 at Stansted airport) and I…

Hi everyone, ​I've received a County Court claim from DCB Legal regarding an alleged parking event at the Iceland car park in Newark back in spring 2023. ​The case is over three years old, with a massive gap of radio silence where the file appears to have been passed between different debt recovery agencies before finally…

Hi Everyone I received a parking fine which I was unaware of as I had moved address and my registered address was a different address. When I changed the address I started to receive debt collectors letter. From the letter the reason I have received parking fine is because they claim I have overstayed in their car park…

I'm hoping someone can clarify how the consideration period, the contractual parking period and ANPR timings fit together. I received a Parking Charge Notice from Euro Car Parks after parking at one of their car parks. I paid for two hours using PayByPhone. My timings were: ANPR entry: 14:08:28 PayByPhone session started:…

Hi all, I'm looking for some guidance as I deal with my first ever Letter of Claim (from BW legal on behalf of Premier Park) - £170. The alleged contravention is “Not Parked Wholly Within Bay.” It’s been over a year since the supposed incident and there is no photographic evidence included with their letter. At what stage…

Back in 2024 my brother was having a mental health breakdown and I had to park in the hospital car park for longer than I should. The nurses assured me they would contact parking eye to cancel it but they never did. Didn’t receive any letters regarding it but I randomly got a letter in 2026 from DCB legal saying they were…

Hi there, Apologies if I've missed this scenario in one of the sticky notes, but I can't see what I'm supposed to do with this one. FlashPark only allow communication by letter and I appealed with the help of this forum within just a few days. Despite that, they've seemed to totally ignore my appeal and have sent a…

Hi. Firstly I want to thank all those that kindly give their time to help, advise and reassure people, like myself, who comes on here with worrying issues. My wife received a letter from DCB Legal in April 2026 regarding a PCN from back in 2023. This was the first we knew about it. Possibly due to losing the log book to…

Hi all, Starting a new thread for the below parking fine that I've received through the post from UKCPS. I drove through Leeds station car park (it's kind of cirlce route to go in then out again) and stopped for approximately 2 minutes to pick-up somebody who got off the train. The picture (which I've removed in case can…

Hey guys, Apologies if this is somewhere in the NEWBIES thread but I have received 3x parking fines from UKCPS but to my leased/hire car. I have strong grounds to appeal given I've parked there for 8+ months and they recently (apparently) changed/made stricter their restrictions. Also the signage is just confusing. Plus, I…

Hello, long time no post, but I continue to follow the forum. A friend has received a PCN from Euro Parking Services. He stopped on a residential service road, double yellow lines, for the purposes of loading/unloading. The PCN claims a period of parking of around 9 minutes. Of the eleven evidence images, only four show…

Hi - I have read the Newbie Thread and have some outstanding questions. I would be grateful for any advice on how best to proceed. My car was parked in a private car park for residents of the estate I live on. The council for a reason unbeknownst to any of the residents contract Wing Security to enforce parking here. The…
