Parking tickets, fines & parking

Hi all, looking for some advice please. I’m being pursued by DCBL for £170 relating to a parking charge from March 2025. I paid for parking online for 2 hours and did not overstay. Unfortunately, I never received the original Parking Charge Notice as it was sent to my previous address. I only became aware of the issue…

Hi. This forum has been invaluable to me so far, thank you. Background Over the last few weeks and months, I've been reading, researching, and learning. I'm now drafting my defence statement. I was sent a claim form which was served 28 August (see redacted photo). I've followed the steps and advice here and submitted my…

Hi all, I've been here before but never with parking eye. just looking for some guidance. I have appealed to the land owner with little success. I have complained to Parking eye which was obviously rejected. I sadly do not have the golden ticket. Unfortunately I do not have any pics of the signage and the cost to drive to…

Hi So I received a Penalty Charge Notice on my car in a council owned car park in Coleraine. I used the Ringo App ( Should've usedd the Just park app ) and paid for the wrong parking location. Ironically I paid more for the wrong car park as it cost more per hour. Anyway I noticed it's being administered by CPS Ltd in…

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…

Hello, I'd really appreciate your advice. I received a PCN fine back in November 2023 for parking at Tesco's. The fine was issue by "HORIZON PARKING LIMITED". 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…

Hello, I received a notice to keeper for an alleged contravention on 31/03/26. The notice did not arrive in the post until 16/04/26 so outside of 14 days. I lodged an appeal using the template from the newbies forum which as helped me in the past (not that I get a lot of these, I ensure that my drivers are very cautious…

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. This seems like a legit organisation linked to the courts so I feel like i need to engage with this? Any advice appreciated on the appropriate next…

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 received a parking fine from NPC at Myrtle Parade, Liverpool, L77AA around 4 months ago after parking there for 15 minutes…

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…

This parking sign lays out the parking fees rather concisely:

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…
