DCB LEGAL, UKPC court, defended - Not parked within the bay.
Yes it was foolish. I don't deny. Car Park was practically empty and I went far from other cars. But I was over the line :# Do I have any chance to appeal at all? Cheers

Received a parking charge letter in the post about not parked in a bay; I appealed as the car overhang into a de minimus strip that use to be a parking space but 75% has been taken up by digital signage (installed since the parking spaces) leaving an unusable space (for anything to park fully within); of course this was…

Napier Parking - Overtstayed fine
hi all my sister received a “fine” from Napier as she overstayed the car park by 47 minutes.

Is it worth to fight PCN?
Hello everyone, I previously challenged a PCN and managed to get it withdrawn just before the hearing, as I was confident it wasn’t my mistake. This time, though, I’m much less certain and would really value your opinion on whether it’s worth appealing. Here’s what happened: I was visiting the hospital but couldn’t find…

PCN issued from NPM on private road.
Evening all, I've received a PCN from NPM for parking on a private road. Attached is the redacted NTK. I thought I'd ask for your opinions before I appeal.
