Parking tickets, fines & parking

hey guys. Any advice would be appreciated iv received a claim form from civil national business centre for the sum of £273.32. The date is from 10/1/2025 at my local gym (which I’d only been a member of a few months so wasn’t familiar with the parking arrangements) I unknowingly parked in a disabled bay which 1. I didn’t…

Hello, newbie here. I am looking for advice PCN from CEL in 2024 for an overstay in KFC car park. Initially appealed but rejected. Ignored up until a letter received for a claim to the HM Court & tribunals Service. A defense was filed with the key points: 1. Unclear signage ( occurred between 22:00-23:00) when it was dark…

Hi, I hope you can help. I received a council parking fine (PCN) and my informal appeal was rejected. Is it worth keeping going based on the following or do I not have a leg to stand on...? In my informal appeal rejection, they write "Where you were parked is within the boundary of the Eastlands Past this Point residents…

Hi all, I have read the newbie thread but I'm confused about the APCOA and railway bit. In the thread it doesn't specify that the appeal is suitable for APCOA however it talks about appealing APCOA later on. Essentially I'm asking if the blue appeal text works for APCOA? " Re PCN number: I dispute your 'parking charge', as…

Hi all I am currently helping a friend of my wife with 2 PCNs she received back in March. Having revisited the newbies thread, an appeal was sent to Total Parking Solutions via email to their info@ email address as I couldn't find an appeals portal on their website. In fact, when hitting the 'Appeals' page on their…

Hello everyone. First time posting. I know there are numerous threads on IPark and equally dodgy parking companies, but I would welcome some advice. The Car Park for my doctors surgery was handed over to IPark on the 1st Feb this year. On the 2nd Feb, I visited the doctors for a blood test. I arrived and attempted to get a…

Hi All, I have just received 2 separate claim forms from CEL for 2 separate "PCNs". One is relating to parking at BizSpace, where the vehicle visited a tenant company and been informed by said tenant/business that there is parking on-site and no information was given on any charges or requirements. I then received a letter…

I have a DCBL trying to recover debt for a Euro Car Parks charge from 2022. I was not the driver at the time. Can I still transfer liability now to the driver? It has not got to small claims yet nor have I received a LBA.

Hi I'm dealing with another charge from DCBL Legal (dating back to January 2022) - but stupidly (as I was working and trying to complete the Acknowledgement of Claim and Defence at the same time) I failed to make a note of my MCOL customer number. Today I've gone to complete the defence as needs to be done by 11th May and…

Hi all, I’m a learner driver and have my driving test coming up soon. My instructor suggested practising forward and reverse bay parking, and said a quiet station car park would be ideal. On 1st July around 9:18 pm, my partner (who holds a full licence) drove us to [XXX] Station car park. Once inside, we switched seats,…

Hi all thanks for the forum and all the advice in the Newbies section. I can see some advice for hire car issues but it talks only of receiving tickets in the window. The tickets I have been sent (4 in total!) have been posted to me, as the car was detected by video camera. It's a car park I've used for years just to buy…

A very recent High Court decision that may be of interest to this forum. BAILII Link: https://www.bailii.org/cgi-bin/format.cgi?doc=/ew/cases/EWHC/KB/2026/1071.html&query=(title:(+E.on+))+AND+(title:(+UK+)) The High Court Enforcement Officer seized goods at the judgment debtor's address, but some of those goods belonged to…

Good Afternoon, Apologies in advance for a longish post. I've received a PCN in connection with a hire car that was parked in a residential parking lot adjacent to a block of flats, one of which I rent and reside in. I have lived here for about 6 years now, spanning 6 rental agreements, and none of them make any reference…

Hi everyone, I’ve read the MSE parking guidance and a few threads, but I’m still a bit unsure what to do next. I’ve received a Letter of Claim from BW Legal for £170. This happened when the driver was quickly picking up their father, who has a heart condition. It wasn’t a case of parking or using the car park — the car…

Hi all,I received a Parking Charge Notice from Smart Parking Ltd and decided to go the militant route of ignoring all correspondence (whilst making sure I kept the abundant number of letters as evidence). The PCN was passed on to Debt Recovery Plus Ltd and after I continued to ignore them, they passed it on to CST Law…

Hey everyone. Firstly thanks again for the newbies sticky thread, it helped me disconinute my last parking charge... unfortunately DCB Legal at it again despite me beating them before... they never learn. I received court letters again for a new parking charge.. Before we get started the MCOL website says: Claim History A…

I received a PCN from UKPC last Sept for not parking within the markings of a bay. I was parked in a disabled bay and slightly over the hatched area. This was because this particular bay only had hatchings to one side of the vehicle and the only way for my passenger to exit the vehicle was if I parked on the hatchings.…

Hi everyone, I have been lurking on here about a private parking ticket I got back in 2022 from UKCPS for parking in a visitor bay allocated for people in my apartment building. I followed the template defences and it is now at the hearing stage. I currently have one of the template witness statements that needs to be sent…

Hi all, received 2 PCN for both of our vehicles due to meeting partner after work at the seaside with our daughter which is so annoying ! I paid for pay and display for both vehicles which makes it worse but apparently overstayed the ticket which I’m unsure whether we did or not to be honest. You guys helped me back in…

Hello I wonder if anyone has a similar experience and/or advice. Brief outline: Gatwick drop off zone contravention 30/07/23 (omission of payment by driver of £5 to NCP). 1st correspondence regarding this matter from BW Legal dated 08/11/23 demanding £100 PCN charge and £70 debt recovery - received by the registered keeper…
