Thanks a lot. I did read every single post and though the process was fairly clear at a high level, I just wanted to be sure in the areas a posted. Call it first time nerves, going down this route. Thanks again.

Thanks all for all your input. I have decided to follow this all the way. So far, I have not replied to Alliance Parking's original NTK letter. The time-period for the reduced amount has now finished, and the time to appeal (21 days from the date of letter) will finish on 25th Apr. No further comms received from Alliance Parking. Could you please guide me, for my readiness, on what happens next? Am I going to start receiving letters from Alliance Parking > Debt Collector letters > Letter of Claim? Who sends me the Letter of Claim - Alliance Parking / Debt Collectors / Solicitors / court? How many weeks / months from now is this likely to be? Once Alliance Parking passes the debt off to the Debt Collectors, is there a risk of anyone turning up at the door? Do I need to reply to any other letters from either the parking company, debt collectors, or solicitors? Many thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot for the replies so far and all the explanations Although it is good to know that they wont win in court.... I feel unsure whether I am ready to deal with all the letters that may come through (with everything else going on) .... Or risking anything on the credit history / CCJ (?). Need to make the decision

Hi all In line with my recent (bad) luck, I have received a Notice to Keeper - Parking Charge Notice for parking my car in the Padstow Harbour Car Park in Padstow. The car park seems to be controlled by Alliance Parking who are quite infamous on this and other forums! I went with my parents and young kids (seven people in all) and had paid for the 4 hours parking (ticket attached). I was at the car before the parking expired but by the time we put all our luggage and ourselves in the car + used the toilets we were a few mins over. I assumed that it being a Pay & Display car park, someone will have to check a ticket being displayed and being with the car for the extra minutes was okay. We were a group of three cars, and the other two are also in the same position and have received a NTK. Strangely the letter we received (attached) seems to suggest that we didn't pay at all rather than we over-stayed. Also, the Entry time on the machine ticket seems to be different to the Entry time on the letter/ANPR image. We visited the car park on 31/03/2024, but the PCN was received on Sat, 13/04/2024 (on the 14th day), so I am also unsure about whether the letter was received in time. 1 Date of the infringement 31 March 2024 2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 04 April 2024 3 Date received 13 April 2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?] Dont think so. 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No (checked this site first) 7 Who is the parking company? Alliance Parking 8 Where exactly [carpark name and town] Padstow Harbour Car Park, Padstow, Cornwall 9 For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. IAS If you have received any other correspondence, please mention it here None Any help would be really appreciated. Alliance Parking.pdf
