  1. Hello all. I am hoping that I can receive some useful advice from some of you on this forum, and I thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. I have recently been sent a PCN for parking in a pub car park. The letter states that I had been sent the PCN because "Whole Period of Parking Not Paid For" to which I was confused, as I had purchased a ticket to cover my stay whilst eating at the pub. I appealed the PCN (issued by Premier Park) via their online facility stating that I had paid for parking and that I believed I had paid for two hours duration. My appeal was subsequently rejected, and Premier Park now stated that the reason I was being charged was because I had not paid sufficient costs to cover the period of my stay; I had only paid for one hours parking not two as I thought, and therefore had overstayed my time by 21 minutes. Understandably, I am annoyed but essentially, it was my error, I should have checked the time paid for on my ticket but I was in a rush as late for the occasion. However, Premier Park had also made an error sending out the first letter stating that I had not paid at all. I have contacted the pub that I stayed at (The Railway Tavern in East Grinstead) to ask if they can help on my behalf as Premier Park must be operating on the pubs behalf, but they are not exactly forthcoming in intervening. Also of interest, the address shown on the letter for where I became liable for a PCN is not quite the same as the car park where I incurred the PCN. If one types in the address on the letter, it indicates a car park in a different area on the other side of the road, some 400 yards from where I stayed. Where do I stand on this, do I pay them or can I ignore the letter even though accidentally I had not paid the full amount? Additional Information 1 Date of the infringement: 23rd October 2018 2 Date on the NTK: 30th October 2018 3 Date received: Not sure, 1st or 2nd November 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? YES 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? YES 6 Have you appealed? YES, but I don’t have a copy at present. Have you had a response? YES. 7 Who is the parking company? Premier Park 8. Where exactly: Railway Approach Car Park, East Grinstead, RH19 1EP For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. Yes, they operate under the BPA Here is a copy of Premier Parks response to my online appeal: Dear Mr **** Thank you for your appeal against the above Parking Charge Notice (PCN). We have carefully considered your appeal, however on this occasion the appeal has been rejected for the following reason; Your vehicle overstayed your paid parking period by 21 minutes You have now reached the end of our internal appeals procedure and therefore you now have two options; You can pay the total amount due as shown above via the following payment options; Call us on: 01302 513232 Pay online: Send a postal order: Premier Park Ltd, PO Box 624, Exeter, EX1 9JG You can appeal to an Independent Appeals Service, POPLA (Parking on Private Land Appeals) using the POPLA reference code provided above. Please note, should you decide to appeal to POPLA and your appeal is subsequently rejected or you withdraw your appeal, the option to pay a discounted amount will no longer be available and the full amount of the PCN will become due. If you decide to appeal to POPLA, you will need to visit their website, where further details of how to appeal (either online or by downloading the relevant forms) can be found. If you are unable to access their website, please call us for further information on how to obtain the forms. Please ensure your POPLA Reference Number, as noted above, is quoted on all correspondence to POPLA. You have 28 days from the date of this letter to submit an appeal to POPLA. If you appeal to POPLA we will suspend recovery activity on the PCN and the charge will not increase until the appeal has been determined. By law we are also required to inform you that Ombudsman Services provides an alternative dispute resolution service that would be competent to deal with your appeal. However, we have not chosen to participate in their alternative dispute resolution service. As such should you wish to appeal then you must do so to POPLA, as explained above. If you do not make payment or submit an appeal to POPLA within the relevant timeframe, the outstanding PCN may be passed to our appointed debt collection agency for further action. All costs associated with this process will be added to the amount outstanding. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Unless any additional relevant information or facts are provided, Premier Park Ltd considers this to be their final decision regarding this appeal. Please note that all payments are subject to a 50p administration charge. This message was sent from an unmonitored e-mail address. Please do not reply to this message.

  4. Hello All I received a PCN/NTK on 08/10/2017 from “Excel Parking” for parking the car at Peel Center Stockport. The PCN/NTK letter shows: Issue Date (posted): 03/10/2017 PCN Ref No: xxxxxxx VRM (reg no): xxxxxxx Vehicle Make: xxxxxxx Vehicle Model: xxxxxxx Contravention Date: 16/09/2017 Contravention time: 11:15 Duration of Stay: 36 minutes I was unware I had to pay for being in the car (waiting) for short time as my wife took my daughter to use the toilet while I was waiting in the car until they return from the toilet. The notice says if payment is made by 17/10/2017 then it will be reduced to £60. Could you please help me how I can appeal and with a draft letter to Excel Parking appealing against the PCN/NTK. Please let me know if you need further information. Thank you very much for the help...
  5. Hi, I would greatly appreciate some assistance with this parking issue. Apologies that this is a bit long – have tried to summarise it. I live in a cul-de-sac (close) and until a few years ago the local authority tried to CPZ the close but found that it was private land belonging to my housing association. It is a small close with bays that residents park in. The local authority persuaded my housing association to get a private parking contractor which caused an almighty confusion between the residents and the housing association. To cut a long story short, PEA Parking got the contract. Signs were erected and one letter sent out about registering with PEA for a virtual permit. The housing association then stated that they would not get involved in any disputes with parking and disowned themselves from the matter. At that time, my son had a blue badge and I was given a mobile permit that I could put in my windscreen when parked. My car broke down on the close and I purchase another second hand one and informed the local housing office of the events of then I would be disposing of the old car. The then housing officer emailed PEA and c.c'd me into the email. Around the end of 2016 my housing association informed us of a consultation of merging with another housing association and this would be on-going for a while. Unbeknownst to us, the local office closed down as staff was restructured, no phones were answered for months - office telephone numbers were changed and all we were getting were mail shots about the merger continuing. At the same time, my permit expired and there was no appearance from PEA so we the residents assumed that they no longer had the contract - I had left my car outside my door for months when on leave and saw no parking contractor - let alone not being able to get through to head office to query where the new local office was. On 15 May 2018, I had a medical appointment for a minor op. I returned home and to my surprise and horror found a Parking Charge Notice on my windscreen. I was shocked as they had not patrolled the close for over 1 year and even the neighbours were sure they were no longer the contractors and felt that when a new one got the contract, we would be informed. I appealed and sent evidence on the 28 May 2018 on the following grounds: 1. The Notice mentions the old housing association's (landlord) name which no longer exists. 2. My letter from my housing association dated 15 January 2018 re 'Change of Landlord' the old landlord ceased to exist on the 2 January 2018. 3. Letter confirming that I pay service charges for the maintenance of the car park so can park in the bay. 4. Their Notice is difficult to read as dyslexic and font is very small. PEA acknowledged receipt of my appeal on the 1 June 2018 stating that if I do not hear within 14 days – do not assume it has been cancelled. I had to contact the British Parking Association who stated that I should have had a decision within 36 days and they would contact them. I emailed PEA on the 12 July 2018 for a decision/POPLA reference number. PEA replied on 19 July 2018 – appeal rejected on the following grounds: - No displaying a valid permit and warning signs etc. - My old landlord still exists as the rebranding with the new landlord has not yet been completed. The parking restriction times were between 10.00am – 2.00pm Monday to Friday. There has been no written confirmation from PEA or the new landlord to confirm that they will continue to have the contract nor had I been contacted on the expiry of my son’s disabled mobile permit to change it to the virtual permit. Where do I stand? Any information appreciated.
  6. Hi I received a parking ticket in May for parking infront of a dropped kerb adjacent to a footway I was not parked next to a drop kerb nor is there a footway. I appealed the ticket and it was rejected on the basis I was blocking access (I wasn't). The enforcement officer took about 15 photos This happened in May of this year In the council's response I vaguely recall them stating they would send me info on how to appeal to the adjudicator which I intended to do. I can no longer find this response and am unsure if it was electronic or printed. I am certain I never received any follow up so forgot about it. I now have now received a letter from Marstons with a final warning and payment of £513 required Is there anyway I can still appeal this? There is absolutely no dropped kerb where I parked nor yellow lines. I have been informed by an enforcement agent previously it is ok to park there (no proof I know) I don't know how to proceed. I don't want to pay the £500 for something which didn't occur. Have I got a CCJ now? Any advice much appreciated thanks
  7. Contravention code 01 Parking in a restricted street during prescribed hours Russell place Brighton £35 Can I challenge this....11:20pm is a bit late to be lurking for parking enforcers. Regards BB
  8. Hi I've got two PCNs from two different London boroughs and a congestion charge from TFL. The two PCNs have been sent to the traffic enforcement people for a warrant to be issued. The TFL one is probably going down that road now I reckon as it went from £80 to £160 and now at £240 to be paid by last week. I called the traffic enforcement people and they told me to approach the councils to ask for time to pay. Ditto TFL. I tried for several months with the councils but they won't give me time to pay which is why the tickets have gone from like £60 to £128 and £173. Actually the £128 ticket didn't respond to my emails at all. TFL are horrible anyway so not sure it's worth even calling them. I wasn't even aware I had entered the congestion charge zone until I got the ticket about a week later but I didn't have the money to pay for it. Does anybody have any advice for me - or is anyone familiar with what might happen next. None of these tickets were intentional on my part, but it's either heat the home, buy food or pay these - well actually cannot pay these as they cost more than the food and heating combined for a month or so. I don't know whether to offer each of them £5 a month or what. If anyone can advise I would be very grateful. thanks

  11. Hi All, I need a little advice. I have received a CCJ letter from a private parking company called CPM. The CCJ has been put together by Gladstones solicitors. I have already submitted an acknowledgement of service however due to a holiday have only now a few days to file my defence. I noticed that the CCJ has spelt my name wrong on the summons letter for example by one letter - Joe Bloggs Would be Jje Bloggs. As I understand the court process they are all about the details - so surely this is enough to use a defence? Any advice would be greatly received. TIA
  12. My husband received a parking notice in February 2017, after parking on a private road outside the house where he was living. GLADSTONES SOLICITORS were involved. He received 2 notices and as it was a private parking company he ignored them. A few months letter a 3rd latter came suggesting a court case and demanding £400. He filled in the form and returned it saying that whilst he disagreed with it he would pay but could not pay all at once and requested a payment plan. He suggested £100 per month. That was in November, 2017. He heard NOTHING back from them and received no further notices or correspondence. On the 22nd March 2018, at 17.45pm there was a hammering on the front door, my husband answered and noticed a clamp on his car. A guy came into the apartment and told us he was from DCBLtd and was a High Court Enforcer and he was not leaving until we had given him £2318.00 cash/ debit or credit card or goods to that amount. We were shocked as we had no idea what he was talking about. He was very intimidating. I asked for his ID and he showed me a badge and ID I photographed him and the ID. I asked for paperwork. He showed me but then got very aggressive when I tried to take it from him to read it. During this time he let it slip that he was filming us and derided us for not knowing or noticing that he was wearing CCTV. He walked around the apartment writing down our goods onto the back of the paperwork i.e. 2seater white sofa, 3seater white sofa, wood frame mirror etc. All of which would raise pennies at public auction. He snarled at us that he could go into any room, any cupboard, any drawer that he wanted to. He also tried to take the IPAD that belongs to my husbands company. He then informed us that he would call the van, which if it arrived to take away the goods would cost us £1500 extra. We tried to reason with him but he called the van anyway. We panicked and managed to borrow £2300 from my son. We could not afford the van to turn up and take away our belongings and be left with an empty apartment and £4000 debt. We paid him and he left. We looked at the paperwork at last, it was headed "Notice that goods have been removed for storage or sale" There was NO name and NO address on it. There was a CCJ which we checked and is now on my husband’s credit rating. The original debt was now £773.93, There was a compliance stage fee of £90, An enforcement stage fee of £822.00 and A stage sale payment of £630 Plus interest of £2.24 A total of £2318.17 We tried to dispute the payment with my bank, they did not want to know, I have been to CAB who say that as it is no longer a debt and they are unable to help. We have called GLADSTONES SOLICITORS and Northampton Court to get copies of any paperwork. We cannot contact GLADSTONES or the court. We have emailed the court requesting that they remove or put a paid notification on the CCJ. About 30 minutes after the bailiff had left the house, my husband received an email reply, from JULIE who said she was from GLADSTONES Solicitors, acknowledging his request for a payment plan. She wrote saying thanks for the letter dated 18th February 2018 -the date the CCJ went through and that it was no longer their concern. When we requested they send copies of all correspondence they said they were not obliged to send any copies of paperwork or correspondence. Where do we go from here? What can we do to get our sons money back? Please help! Many thanks
  13. Hi Just looking for some advice please. I hve received a letter through from DRP stating I was parked in Euro Car Parks Ltd, sainsburys car park in bolton for more than maximum period allowed. It states there is notice to intended court acion and £130.00 is payable. I was shopping then had lunch in sainsburys and didn't realise a maximum stay. What can I do?
  14. I received a ticket for parking in a disabled bay. The markings we so bad I honestly didn't notice it was a restricted bay. The warden even said he'd appeal which I did. The reply from the council acknowledges that the bay markings 'are not in the best condition'. Is there rules about the road marking and their condition which would give me grounds to appeal
  15. Hi folks. Much the same as many people here I suspect, my first post is about a Parking Charge Notice I received. I'm aware this isn't a penalty charge notice. I have read many different stories about Gemini but I believe mine is a little unique. I and my motorbike (yes, my motorbike) received a Parking Charge Notice, stuck onto my petrol tank at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Date/Time - 11/08/16 16:50 The Issue reason is "Parking in a No Parking area". I have not appealed yet. All excuses aside - those being that I was attending a job interview and could find NO parking facilities at all. Eventually I locked my motorbike up to a bicycle railing completely missing the road signs as you can see in the photo attachment. I got back to my bike to find the parking charge notice on it. I have till Thursday (the 14th day) to appeal to keep within the £60 reduced fee (from £100). So much advice says ignore the Parking Charge Notice, but I feel my situation is quite unique. What advice do any of you sages have? Cheers in advance.
  16. Honestly I had no idea these companies could now just take pictures of your car and charge you, if anyone could help I would really appreciate it, if you need any other information please do let me know. I found the seven questions I was asked to answer below, honestly I have no idea why there would be a limit in a service station in the middle of no where. I wasn't actually driving the car although I guess they don't care. 1 Date of the infringement 19.09.2018 2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 25.09.2018 3 Date received 28.09.2018 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?

  17. Hey I recently parked in my university car park and then a week or two later i received an 'important notice to registered keeper, parking charge of £40' ive parked here without paying a few times so far so i will probably receive 2 more letters. Also last year i parked here all the time but did not receive parking charges, looks like the cameras have started working now. Should i pay them or not Received parking charge by F1RST PARKING.
  18. Yesterday I parked at Redhill Station, there are two disable spots but one was being used by a large van to load and unload so had to find another spot. I parked in a spot placed my disabled badge and went to work, upon returning there was a "Penalty Notice" and definitely penalty issued by Indigo parking services. Is this a Penalty? should I appeal? Thanks
  19. 1 Date of the infringement: 14/09/2018, 2 instances from 19:46-19:57 then again at 20:00-20:13 2 Date on the NTK : 11/10/2018 3 Date received : 12/10/2018 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [y/n?] N 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Plate Number 6 Have you appealed? {y/n?] post up your appeal] Y Have you had a response? [Y/N?] post it up N 7 Who is the parking company? Smart Parking 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Exeter, Haven's Bank retail park My case is a bit weirder than the usual. I got back from work around 19:30 and in my street they were having a BBQ party so cars parked and no where for me to park. Good natured I asked them when will they finish and they said about 15 mins I went in the nearest retail park in our place about 30 sec drive and parked there, no other cars where parked (not knowing it was private). I then left the car park after 13 mins to go back in our street and the cars are still parked I gave them another leeway of 10 mins in which i proceeded to go back to the empty retail park (2nd time now) from 20:00 to 20:13 Got back and saw the party over and proceeded to park in my own street. Now 1 month later i received 2 parking charge notice from a private company called Smart Parking asking for 90 quid or 54 if paid within 14 days. I made an appeal stating what I said here but I haven't gotten a reply yet. I was going to contact them through the phone but they are not opened on weekends. Having revealed that I was the one driving the car, have I still got a leg to stand on? I can possibly survive the £54 parking charge but having to pay £108 for not even 30 mins max of parking on an empty car park is a bit too much I think. It also doesn't help that I didn't even see the sign that night stating it was privately owned I thought it was a bit misleading. The letters too small especially not visible when dark. Thank you for taking time your time to whoever is reading this.
  20. Hello everyone Last August (2017) I parked in a small carpark outside a parade of shops and went to have lunch with family. There was no pay & display machine and I genuinely thought it was free parking. Some time later, I received a letter telling me that my registration number had been detected on the way in and out of the carpark and I had overstayed the allowed amount of time. They wanted me to pay a fine. I ignored the letter, believing that it was not enforceable, and also ignored one or two reminders. A few days ago I received two pieces of correspondence. One was a Particulars of Claim from the parking company, filling two pages, quoting a Claim No. and with an accompanying letter saying that a copy had been filed with the court. The other was a Claim Form from County Court Business Centre. This also included information in the Particulars of Claim box but, interestingly, this particulars of claim was different and very much briefer than the one sent to me. I'm not sure if that is significant. The longer Particulars (the one sent direct to me) mentioned such things as "failure to adhere to advertised terms & conditions", "breach of contract for failing to adhere to the terms & conditions" and that their terms & conditions were "accepted by conduct" (ie presumably by me parking). They are claiming £160 plus £25 court fee, plus interest. My contention is that, no matter how obvious they claim the signage to be, if I didn't see them then they were not obvious enough. Surely it is their responsibility to make sure I see it, not mine to look for it. If I didn't see a sign then I couldn't have agreed to their conditions and no contract was made. Unfortunately, the carpark is nearly 100 miles from where I live and I cannot easily go back and check the signs. I have seen a sticky thread (with the confusing title 'CPR 31.14 Request to use on receipt of a PPC') which suggests I should ask the parking company for a copy of their contract with the land owner. Surely that is confidential and they will refuse/ignore my request? The same with asking for copies of planning consents relating to erecting signage. What if the documents cannot be secured in time for me to use them in my defense? Is there any way for me to ask the court to suspend action while I wait to receive requested information from the claimant? I am up for fighting this, if you guys think there is much chance of winning, but I am not very confident about this sort of thing. If anyone is prepared to hold my hand and walk me through it, I'll have a go. Can anybody help me? The issue date on the court Claim Form is 21 May 2018. Thanks, John

  23. Just an outline. My father parked near his home where he was not aware that it had become a parking zone. Parked on the road side where he did not notice any signage stating he was not able to park in that area. He later received a parking fine and disputed it sending evidence of where he parked and where there was no parking signs stating he could not park in the area as well as the information below: On page 52 of the Department of Transports booklet ‘Know your traffic signs, 2015 and relating to controlled parking zones, it states ‘The times when these operate should be shown on signs at the bays; these times may not be the same as those shown on the zone entry sign’. There are no bays on the road and there was no signage. The letter was sent to them on 1st January 2018 in response to their letter dated 21/12/18. During this time they stated that they sent my father a 'Notice to Owner' dated 15/02/2018, however he did not receive this until the date for response was past. He wrote to them on 2nd April explaining this. However in this letter they also rejected my father's appeal and a request was made to pay the lower rate of £65. They did not respond to my fathers letter until 13th June 2018, over 2 months later. At this time my father was abroad burying his brother and visiting other sick relatives and returned to the UK on 9th July 2018. (He left the UK on 11th June). By this time the time limit for completing a Witness Statement or responding had run out and although the reason for this was explained to them and copies of his passport and ticket was sent to them, they stated it was 'unfortunate' that he did not receive it in time and increased the amount to £195. They also did not respond to his request to pay the lower amount in this letter. My father then sent a postal order for £65 instead of the £130 in a letter dated 14th July, and they have now responded in a letter dated 28/9/18, over 2 months later stating that he did not make representations to the Notice to Owner dated 15/2/18 or pay the full amount and as a result the amount was increased by 50%. An £8 fee was further added for and Order of Recovery with a Witness Statement attached. They sent an Order of Recovery on 11/7/2018 with a Witness Statement attached but instead of completing the statement a letter was sent instead dated 14th July. The have waited over 2 months to then state that the £65 cannot be accepted as full and final payment and still want him to pay £195 minus the £65. Although they have stated 'Should you have grounds to file a Witness Statement out of time he should contact Northampton County Court but then go on to state that filing a late statement will not cancel the PNC or reduce the outstanding amount, I think this is quite pointless as nothing would be achieved. I hope this is not too complicated. Is there anything that can be done considering my father's predicaments and their inconsiderate behaviour:?:
  24. Hi guys I have an issue similar to a few others on here, involving the Swansea based Millennium Parking Services. My vehicle was parked in a residential area in Swansea, totally oblivious to any signs advising it was Private Property and Permit Holders Only. Received the PCN stuck to windscreen upon return to the vehicle. The original ticket charge of £100 has not been paid. As the registered keeper, I received the NOK a month or so later and have retained it. It has not been acted upon my me. More recently, I received a demand for £160 from Debt Recovery Plus. I have ignored all requests for payment so far. I'm quite comfortable going through the court process if it comes to that, but would you advise on any action I should take now that might help prevent being taken to court, or even assist with the defence if that day does come? I'd be keen to save myself on the hassle and time wasted in going to court if I can help it, for the want of a well worded letter of dispute. Cheers, Sham
