Parking tickets, fines & parking

Hi all, My wife recently went to our local petrol station/greggs/starbucks to meet her mum for a coffee, where she stayed for about an hour (55 mins according to the PCN). During that time she used the QR code in Starbucks to register our car, but today a PCN has showed up saying she overstayed the 30 mins free. What…

Hi all, any help much appreciated. I received a PCN through the post around 2/3 after the incident. I had parked in Bridlington harbour and my brother went to pay for the ticket. Apparently this ticket was for a different car park (right next to the one I was in, looking back separated by a metal rail as seen in most…

So I have been using this route to go gym since forever, recently I think they changed that you can't go into that road, unless bus or private hire I didnt know- have I got any ground to challenge or just pay it 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I received a PCN from MET Parking for overstaying and not paying for parking at Starbucks Stansted. I replied to them using this template I found in MSE forum and I got a reply. Below are the template I used and the reply I received from MET Parking. My Appeal- I dispute your 'parking charge', as the keeper of the vehicle.…

Hi everyone, I couldn't decide which section was best for this question. Apologies if this is the wrong one. Basically, I had briefly parked in front of a star bucks at SouthGate. We didn't even leave the car as we were debating if going there or to another shopping mall. A month later I received a parking fine over 60…

As the title says. Mid-August of this year, I parked somewhere to see the shooting stars, parked at 8.12pm and paid for a physical full-day ticket which according to the T&Cs is until 23:59:59. I left at 1am, which I agree is past the time I paid for but there was no option to buy time past 23:59:59 when I purchased the…

Good morning all, I've received multiple parking fines for parking at my partners address (apartment complex). The new parking system was introduced at the start of August and I was told I only needed to register my car once on the system and that was it. Despite doing this on the day the system was introduced (I did not…

Hi all For about 2 years now I have been receiving letters from Parking Eye / DCBL / DCB Legal about a parking charge they think I owe them. I didn't care to respond, complain or appeal and I am no longer in possession of any of those letters. However, I have recently received a claim form from HMCTS which I will link…

Dear All, I today got a text from Trace Debt Recovery telling me you have an outstanding balance please visit paydtr.co.uk to make payment and a case number. No mention of how much or for what?! I called up spoke to a lady who after taking my name asked for address and post code which I didn't give. She then said she could…

Recently assisted a work colleague with PCN which he disputed. Background: He was at an appointment, it over-ran and he was late back to the carpark. So he pays via the phoneline system to cover the extra hours - the parking company took a nominal payment of 0.01p out of his bank (there was an error with their payment…

An example of how going to head office can be most helpful. I was charged for using a carpark without paying. This confused me, as I very much did pay and displayed a ticket. Turns out it was a major keying error. Euro Car Parks recognised and had record of my payment, however declined my appeal, offering the typical '£20'…

Hi all, so there were 3 attempts to pay a parking charge in a car park by ECP, the payments did not go through so left and parked elsewhere. I have proof of the 3 attempts, and the successful payment to park elsewhere. Two letters to ECP, no response to either, both email and letter with proof of postage. Now the first…

Hi, Warning, long thread, but I have tried to be as detailed as possible. Back in August 2023, I parked at Promenade Car Park in Perranporth, Cornwall. I paid for the ticket and I displayed on the lower part of the dashboard, to the right hand side of the driver side (if that makes sense) in a Peugeot 5008. I was sent a…

Hi all, some advice please. In a nutshell, a friends 17 year old son sat parked his car in a Total Car Parks whilst he took a foreign language student from his college to town, so she would get some documentation signed off. She took a long time and got lost, so he left the car to find her…. just over 30 mins in total. He…

We don't tend to get any mail lost and haven't moved or changed DVLA details in the last few years. According to their website they want £170 and i cant appeal because its too…

Hi All, I just had an Experian search done, which revealed that there's a CCJ on my name, something I was not aware of till now! Here are some details / timelines * I moved from my old address in Dec 2016 to a new house, but forgot to update my V5C address with DVLA. Only in July 2017 I got to know of this and got my V5C…

I have just received an email from Times parking charge stating that my previous appeals (used the POPLA template on other threads) has not worked and my charge still stands. Any help gratefully received.

Hi all, thanks for any help in advance. I had a look at previous threads, and apologies if I am being dumb, but I can't find the right template to start from. I have a claim from NCP/Moorside in the Civil National Business Centre. Their wording is: The Defendant (D) is indebted to the Claimant (C ) for a Parking Charges…
