Private Parking .PCN

Robbo25

HI all just looking for some advice on a private parking PCN from One Solution Parking on the 28/12/25.

My father in law lives on a road with private parking with limited numbered bays for some residents, he applied for one before but none was available.

On the 28th the driver was visiting/returning with the father in law (he is 83 and cannot walk far unaided) and they had a 8 week old baby with them and lots of bags/presents to take up to the 5th floor.

Upon arriving there is no bay there to pickup/load only permit bays or be selfish and block the whole road, so the driver stopped in a bay to take the father in law up and the new born baby (5th floor) returned to the vehicle to bring all the bags up, then once everything was up the driver returned to move the vehicle to a road where the driver could legally park a few streets away.

On retuning, a parking warden was there and told the driver as they was getting in the vehicle they had a ticket, the driver explained the father in law lives here and is aged 83 with walking problems and a new born baby with them and lots of bags and was now moving the vehicle, he said you only have 5 minutes (the driver was 8 minutes) and so got in and drove away with the ticket still in the wardens hand.

Sign doesn't metion waiting times and really unclear.

Please see photos attached.

Many Thanks.

Well they sent the PCN by post instead. Completely ignore One Parking Solution because there is no fair or impartial appeal on offer with IPC firms.

Come back here if ever they try a small claim and obviously tell them/their agents if your home address changes at all (within 6 years).

Ignore £170 threatograms COMPLETELY except for a LBC or Claim Form of course. Read the second post of the NEWBIES FAQS thread.

Your case is winnable in court using Jopson v Homeguard. judges are not stupid. You were not parked. You were unloading and taking part in assisted alighting, which the ticketing goon will have watched.

However, this isn't something that works at the IAS, which is considered as bent as a nine bob note, as my old Dad used to say.

DO NOT PAY TO MAKE IT GO AWAY.

First rule of this forum: we don't sponsor a scam or fund the next invoices against more victims. It's not an option.
