How to know if parking charge is dropped?

I was issued a parking charge notice by ParkingEye when shopping at B&Q and overstaying for 40 mins. I bought more than £300 worth of products from B&Q during the stay. After reading posts on this forum, I went and spoke with the B&Q duty manager who wrote down my order number on the PCN letter, kept it with him, and said he will sort it out.


How do I know if the PCN has been dropped? I also changed my address in the meantime. Will ParkingEye get my new address from DVLA and send me a letter? Or can I check online somewhere if they dropped the charge?

    I believe you go on the web site as if to pay it (but DON'T) and if it is cancelled it will show zero.

    Thanks! It seems it is not cancelled yet. I should go to B&Q again and check.

    I was about to go to B&Q for a follow up when I thought of checking one last time whether the charge was dropped. And it was! The parking eye system now says : There is no amount outstanding for this Parking Charge.


    Thank you everyone!!

    Make sure you take a screen print and file it away somewhere safe for 6 years.
