Parking tickets, fines & parking

Hi all, First time poster but I've used the forum multiple times to appeal the PCNs. I came unstuck this time by the REQUIRED drop down menu option which doesn't give you an option where you don't have to provide evidence. I'm guessing this is their way of trying to block or trip up people using this appeal process. If…

HORIZON later escalated to Gladstone Solicitors limited. I received a claim form for 253£. I follow the guide to MCOL and acknowledged service ('AOS'). I submitted…

I recently got a PCN. Felt very unjust given circumstances but my representation got turned down. Decided best to pay the £80. However appears my online payment never reached the Council and now have a Charge Certificate for £240. Checked with my bank and they confirmed they authorised my payment. I'd not realised payment…

Had a lovely note come through as Debt Recovery Plus really want my money from a parking fine which is dumb as hell because I paid for my monthly ticket, 'cept APCOA's website bait-and-switched the ticket for another, but that's a problem for later. They've got 2 addresses for me so I'm drafting a letter to have them…

TEMPLATE ''ONE SIZE FITS ALL'' FIRST APPEAL THAT DOESN'T SAY WHO WAS DRIVING: I plan on doing the Plan B for a recent Parking Charge I got, but am wondering if it would work because I passed a barrier to get into the car park? Basically, we have a staff car park which you need a permit to get in, but I didnt pay and…

Hi all, My wife has received this letter from the Civil National Business Centre for a parking fine dating back to 2024. We haven't engaged with any previous correspondance.

Hello all, The RK to a private hire vehicle received a PCN for unauthorised parking at Edmund Halley Way in Greenwich near the O2, next to the cable car station. This is typically an area where an Uber driver will wait for passengers to be picked up, as not too far (about 100 metres away) is the dedicated Uber pickup…

[If possible- please can somebody offer advice today] Hi, To clarify, before summarising the situation, I have read tons of old posts and and all of the beginner guide (which is incredibly useful).

I have just received a parking fine from Marks & Spencer's who up until recently allowed you to park for up to 2 hours free, which has now changed to requiring to scan a ticket and enter your details. I was unaware of this change but the staff member I asked in M&S said I need to deal with Euro Car Parks directly but…

Hello MSE Forumites, I received an unfair PCN at my dentist, I am in the process of getting proof that i did have an appointment that day. The reason i got a letter from the "the bailiffs" is because i have moved addresses and they managed to track me down to my new address (DVLA). I wanted to ask, if i am correct in my…

Hello there guys, I hope you can help me with this situation. I have just received another letter from BWLegal, saying 'Final Demand'. It says I have until the 31st March to respond.

Dear All I would be grateful for some advice. Sadly in November 2020 on two consecutive days I paid to park via the Ringo App at a site managed by Smart Parking.

However, I’ve recently received another letter from DCB legal on behalf of ‘Smart Parking Ltd about a parking fine from Oct 2021 in Scotland stating ‘insufficient time paid.’ I remember getting a letter from them…

I have received a parking charge notification from UKPC, alleging I was illegally parked in a Drop Off area. It shows the time of the alleged offence. It's a specific time, not from time x to time y. To be honest, I didn't realise you can't ( apparently ) leave your car for any reason, even though the signs show a max. 15…
