EUROPARKS PARKING FINE

Lola4444
Posts: 2 Newbie
I parked on wjhat I thought was public land to dog walk, known as Knowle Park. I never read the parking signs.
On the 28th May I received a redirected letter from my old address. I moved one year ago.
The letter I received, was from Europarks for a camera shot of me parking on the 28th April, 2025. I realised at this point that I had not changed my registration document address with DVLA. I immediately changed it at that point. Since then I have received and paid a succession of fines, from this company, as they bounce on my carpet. I am up to 6 fines now. I have tried to contact the company but they do not reply.
In the last three days I have a tickets for 17th, 18th. 19th, 20th, 21st May, plus there may be redirections that have not yet arrived. I walk my 3 dogs almost daily so I realise that from 28th April to the 28th May, when I received the first fine, could result in 30 fines x £100 a day. I am 70 years old retired, and feeling very anxious about a potential debt of £3000 for my innocent error. Everyday I feel sick when the postman delivers.
I have already paid 6 fines, but I cannot afford to pay anymore!
Please can anybody help me.

Bloody hell. You shouldn't have paid any.
Can you take a photo of one of the Parking Charge Notices for us please?2 -
Definitely not fines, just parking charge notices, invoices, for the alleged breach of the parking contract on that private property
I will list the mistakes ( plural ) , just so you can fix the outstanding ones , so factual, not judging you
1) didn't read the signs ( but a driver should always read the signs when driving or parking, the requirements dont stop at the parking entrance ) the requirement is to comply with the signage to avoid breaching the rules which then incurred each invoice
2) didn't update the dvla database promptly after moving, a legal requirement which can carry a fine of up to £100.i hope that you sorted out your driving licence as well, especially with the 70 yo threshold being reached ? Not doing so can also result in a dvla fine, plus the requirement of applying for the licence to be renewed on reaching 70. At that point you are also declaring that you can see number plates and signs etc, so are fit to drive
3) paying the pcns that were outstanding, instead of coming here first
Give us the full name of the actual parking company, plus a clear picture or pictures of all the signs
Post redacted pictures of the front and back of one pcn, so we can see who sent it and what the alleged contravention was on each occasion
Lastly, either stop parking there, OR , comply with the signage to stop further charges2 -

Why are you paying these?! STOP! We can help you.
You don't pay private parking charges. Can you go on foot and get some photos of the signs? And a wide photo of the entrance taken from the view from a car on arrival (are there big warnings about the change?).PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
