Parking Group ltd
I hope someone can help? I stopped to let my disabled daughter and her child out of my car to attend a cosplay style event. It was in an "offshoot" of a road on a leisure and hotel site which Parking Group manage, so their letter tells me. I was stopped, engine running for less than 2 minutes to let the girls out. I've…

DCBL - National Parking Control - Possible Court Action
Back in July I mistakenly parked outside of a parking bay. No ticket was left on my car, so I thought no more about it. In November I received a "final notice" stating that the fine had now increased to £170 (with no option to pay a reduced amount. A bit strange on the basis that no other warning had arrived in the post,…

Quick question on court costs
Hi all I have, what I hope is, a fairly simple question - If Excel/DCBL take me to court, and, using the guidance on this forum from now I still do not win, what might the total cost to me be then

Parking Charge Notice
To cut a long story short. I received a parking charge notice stating that I didn't pay for parking (I did, but apparently too late and ANPR flags you if you don't pay within 5 minutes of entering a car park). I appealed on numerous grounds (like I paid!) including that the date on the pcn stated the 17th as the date of…

Rejection of representation

Then I sent the proofs that the driver is a courier and was entering the road to do some deliveries. Then they rejected…

Parking ticket ?!
I feel a little duped. Have made mistakes before and happily paid my fine but this feels a little hard to swallow.
