Parking tickets, fines & parking

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…

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. The situation that got me the original ticket (from Link Parking Limited), was that I went to help a friend move into a new block of…

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. Having recently changed my vehicle I inadvertently paid for the incorrect registration number to park. (Being fairly new to parking apps at the time, I didn’t…

Hi folks I had a lot of help from this forum last year with a parking charge claim that I’m very grateful for. 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…

Hello again, I’m currently going through the process with DCB Legal on another thread. But have just received another PCN from CEL. I have just complete AOS online, just wondering if anybody can advise on the particulars of the claim which I have attached with the redacted claim form? My defence is, I managed to drive in…

Due to disability I drive to local park to walk dog. I'm allowed a free hour then you have to pay. Apart from first notice which was their fault,obtained my details without exceeding time limit. After that I ignored further letters. I did appeal to historic england,but they just tried to get me to pay monthly even though…

I am a newbie and hope the forum can help me. This concerns DCB Legal and Smart Parking Ltd and a Claim Form. I have read the newbies thread on the template defence to adapt for all parking cases. Five years ago during the first covid-19 lockdown I parked in a budget hotel car park and received a parking charge notice…

Hi ladies and Gentlemen, hope we ae well? New guy, please be gentle. I had a Smart Parking PCN from a fairly known theme park in Kent back in December 2022. Ignored it obsvs. The evidence they provided was pretty terrible. pics were awful. The car was bit of pull car at the time loads of people borrowed it etc inc my dad…

Okay ive read as much as I can from the newbie post but I was late... I got a fine for parking 18 mins over took me 11 mins to get a bay but I was only 7 mins late leaving. They have me on cams with time stamps. I appealed stating I should have a grace period which they rejected. I have called the land owner today but she…

Hello, I got a claim and really need support. I used this forum in the successfully but it seems I did everything wrong as I now received the small claims paperwork. I am panicking please help. I read the newbies thread but am really confused and afraid to proceed on my own. The worst bit is that everything is in the name…

** Creating new thread as per Mods request *** Hi @Coupon-mad, I have read through the forums but my situation is slightly different. On 6th March, I parked at Farnborough's Horizon Parking to catch up with my ex-colleagues. The option to pay was through an app but due to signal issues, I could not download the app.…

Hi, In late September I got 2 tickets from UKCPS in my Uni Accommodation car park which I tried to appeal but failed and paid the £60 charge on both. I did contact the university themselves before paying and they said I broke the parking agreement and I had to pay. Anyway, I got a letter from Trace debt recovery this…

Hi I got a PCN for staying 1h12min in the carpark. I paid for 1 hour stay. I appealed with Euro Car Park on the grounds that I was within 15 min before and after., but tey obvioulsy said they reject my appeal. I wonder now if I should bother with Popla or just wait for the court case to come through... What is your recent…

Hi, Would appreciate a quick steer. I’ve had a NTK from ECP which does I believe contain the correct POFA wording. My initial appeal using the sticky template was refused and I’m at the POPLA stage. Looking at the NTK there seems to to be a discrepancy between the 28 day payment deadline given in the opening paragraph, and…

It’s been a bad couple of days for me with another NTK arriving today. The annoying thing about this one, is that it was delivered on day 17, but the NTK claims it was issued in day 10. I’ve attached the redacted NTK in case it its wording isn’t POFA compliant…
