I was issued a notice for parking in my own private bay. What is the law around this?
@@danieljohn4920 Discuss with paralegal. Private firm? Bin it.

Iv got 9 parking fines and bus lane fines and I TELL THEM TO GO JOG ON!!! I do not agree with the council unfair over the top fines!!! There raking it in the PROFITS!!!
How did you get out the bus lane fine? I literally just got this, I’m an Uber driver and was away for 1 min...
I send the letter back without opening it as “NO CONTRACT RETURN TO SENDER” opening the letter creates not only joinder with the corporation, but acceptance of said debt

@15heartz he got arrested and still thinks he beat the ticket
I had 15 parking tickets while broke down that I tried to appeal to the Ventura county California City police I tried to go to the courthouse and put myself on court calendar but there's no record of the tickets because they're through the city of police which are basically paid by the board of supervisors we do have Ventura county sheriff's which I could if they gave me a ticket I could put myself on court calendar but these City police are paid by the board of supervisors and our tax dollars I can't put myself on court calendar for them there's no record of them I tried to peeling them they denied that they finally impounded my vehicle for no registration because the tickets were $1,800 and the registration was 65 I couldn't pay that so they impounded my vehicle which is also my home because it's my motorhome it's 27 ft long and it's my home and I feel like they violated my constitutional rights
I parked on a gap in the road where there was ‘supposed’ to be a single yellow line, appealed, got rejected, sent to bailiffs Bristow Sutor
So the fact that since 2022 they are only legally allowed to charge £50 max but many of them still start at 100 and then ramp it up to 170, isn’t that itself proof that they are acting illegally? Isnt this in itself grounds for dismissal
Tbh many of us if we are faced with a 50 quid fine and a chance to pay 25/30 within a specified time will suck it up and pay, it is that their fines are so unfair and disproportionate that riles us up.
Would like to know your thoughts on this?
I entered into a euro car parks, where the car park was busy and hardly any parking bay spaces available, when i eventually found one, and went to the car park machine and saw the parking charges, i didn't the fancy charges and terms and conditions, so i left the car park. And i got a parking charge notice for staying for 12 mins, but i didnt use their services and i dont think it states any grace period when entering the car park on their signs (will need to check). Should i be charged for this invoice? And do i have a reasonable case to appeal?
Only a judge can issue a Fine.
I applied for street parking. It is pending but i m getting penalty tickets. What should i do
Thanks 😊. Currently got a fine but the signs on the road were faded. Not sure what Acts etc to refer to in the appeal 🙏🏽🙏🏽
we got lost in the trail and it took us more time to reach back in the dark. we got a parking violation ticket for parking after sunset, we couldn’t do anything to come early as we were stuck? can we make any case to fight it?
I have pcn from council, challenged it but was unsuccessful. It’s been few months and still haven’t paid so I don’t know what’s next
Hello, I have been charged for parking at ASDA for 5 hours. We went in twice and they have counted the time as a whole slot. Our bank statement shows both payments but we can only find 1 of the receipts. Will this be enough to appeal? Can you send me the link for the letter template as I cannto find it. Thanks
Is it just 10 minutes grace before you leave? I had problems getting a ticket when I went in to car park.
If the sign is in the car park and so you have to go in and be resisted before seeing it would this be grounds for appeal ?
my car broken down last year I appeals and they still didn’t accept the reason even though I’ve showed them a receipt for the breakdown cover and now they’re referred me to debt collectors which looks like a solicitor not too sure what to do at this moment in time, because the debt is gone up to £520
How long do I have to get a ticket from the machine to put on your car?
Hi brother, I had pcn for time limit rules on morissons store, is 1 hour and 30 mnt, in the park car there is a lift will take you to tkmaxx and morrisons so I went to tkmaxx first I was doing my shopping and then 10 or 15 mnt left and I still need to buy some things in morrisons so I went back to the car park I buy another parking ticket for another 1 hour and a half and then I stay 30 mnt and I go, what is your opinion in this case, thank you
Hello, are you able to advise on a parking fine on private land? I have received a letter from Debt Recovery Plus about a overstaying in private parking that happened in 2020. I never received anything to pay from them and now they want 170£ from me . All this after two and half years. I have to be honest that I have stayed in car park longer that there timings but I don't received anything to pay from them or any penalty. Only now they sent me this letter. Please help and advice what to do.
I received the parking fine post on 26/06/2022 which is today which was issued on the 16/06/2022. Parking charge date was on the 29/04/2022. It was the first letter i have received until now and wanting to ask if the letter should have been sent to me within the first 14 days of the parking date and do i have to pay the debt collector now? It is for £170 and probably it was by accident i parked in the location. Thanks
I have made appeal before the 14 days by post it was sends first class recorded but a months after I have received a remind latter to pay 170 and now I only have prove of the cover latter but lost the receipt or tracking number so what should I do ?
I got a parking ticket for a car that was non op registration . I sold the car that the ticket was issued for . Do I still have to pay the ticket ?
Thanks
What if I paid for a ticket, but had just received a new car but mistakenly entered my old reg in parking machine? I also have a disability which causes brain fog, hence typing previous reg into ticket machine.
Got parking ticket from hospital carpark had to rush dad in for appointment and parked in staff area. Orig pcn number wasn't recognised for about a week but now it does
what if you wait somewhere without leaving your car or using a parking space?
I've been given a parking "invoice" from a private company, despite the fact I paid for a ticket and wasn't late back to my car. This arrived two weeks after I'd parked there and astonishingly, 🙄 I had thrown the window sticker away in this time. I emailed them on their website disputing this fine and I don't have a copy of the email because it went through their site? They ignored me and two months later they've sent another "invoice" which has gone from £20 to £155 now. What can I do about this? It is so unfair 😢
Councils have no authority to demand money for anything. PENALTY CHARGE NOTICES are legally designated as contracts. Ignore it or return to the council.
That’s what I want to hear about 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾😢
Does this work??? Got one today need to know what to do! Thanks
@@michaeldakers4889 Got what exactly?
I got a ticket for being in a bus lane, I’m an Uber driver and was away for 1 min...what should I do? Just not pay? Forget it ever happened? Serious inquiry
@@angelquizhpe2473 Sorry bud bus lane is a bus lane, can't stop in time afraid. Pay the fine as it's one of the rare occasions it's justified.
What happens if no ticket just camera everdence I had fine at my place of work in hospital and at time and place were all wrong but it surfaced a year later when I done a credit score
I parked in over white line’s with my hazard lights on. I was out and i saw the lady coming by my car i went in my car trying to move the car but she came behme and blocked me didn’t let me go and write me a ticket? Can i win???
I wrote by pencil the time they give me fine what should I do ?
I parked in a disable bay only because my car is a large vehicle and the doors are to wide so I can not come out if parked in a normal bay. I got a parking ticket (Tesco car park). If I take this to court is there a possibility of me winning.
What I'd like to know is, if I park on the hospital car park (my place of work) without a pass and they give me a ticket, is this government backed or is this private?
@@MoneyNerd 👍🏻
Where is the link for the letter?
Just got a ticket from Horizon Parking, from when I parked on the Tesco car park in Swansea on my holidays. From what I can tell by looking online, it's two hours free and the photos and timestamps they sent me indicate I stayed there for 45 mins longer. It doesn't actually say what I did wrong, just says I breached the T&C's of parking on this private land. Have I got a leg to stand on? I did buy from the Tesco but admittedly I did wonder around Swansea after.
I’ve just had a letter for parking in Tesco port talbot from horizon. Gives no photo or time stamps etc,just says I’ve breached the terms-
How did u do with yours
I’m positive it’s a 3 hour stay limit,and I was less that 2:45
What if the pcn number does not work when trying to pay online or by phone?
Hey @AH-hz5xc, you may want to double check the PCN and the Vehicle Registration Number. To verify if it's correct, you can contact the issuer with your vehicle registration and pay over the phone. Here's an article that outlines the details: moneynerd.co.uk/lost-pcn-number/ Good luck!
Most of the fines are bogus. I got one for a parking outside of a row of closed shops, and noticed others have been fined for parking at shut down businesses. I'm wondering if they are putting signs up illegally to scam more money from people
deffo they are imn getting county court b.s over using a parking space s at a so called out of hours time. ive occupied the place several times over years at that time to no fine.
In my village in west dorset. One the roads of the main roads had the wrong name and we have speed cameras and one guy sued for this being wrong. Because of this side street. He got his speeding fine overturned and plus they wrote everyone who'd got caught on this camera and sending back there fines and removing there points.
The councils are leeches. Disgraceful
I have to work the day of the court date so I’m not going in and I’m not paying the ticket there were no signs anywhere indicating anything $69 parking ticket
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
What about penalty points.
Thanks mate, your video was really helpful. I just got a ticket cause I forgot to put my disabled badge out. My disability causes memory problems and I've had a stressful day already. They want £100. I'm defo going to appeal after your advice
Nah just ignore
Hi @sianb4842! It's definitely worth a try. Thanks for watching the video!
Hello
I received uk eye parking ticket in post, I stopped at private land to pick student , didn’t came out of car and left there, approximately max took 3min or 5min, then left that car park, as main road was double yellow lines and busy so couldn’t stop there, i seen signs later when I came back to drop student there again,
Does that ticket still applies?
Hi @mohammedkadir7223! This article might be able to help clear up the confusion: moneynerd.co.uk/private-parking-fines/parking-tickets/
Thank you for the dogs
I got covid and had to quarantine on Feb 1 and got a parking ticket on Feb 3 for the snow emergency. But I was sick and really couldn't move it in time I do have my results do you think I would win?
Thanks for your content Scott.
I received a PCN with evidence of me entering a yellow box junction. However the junction location address on the PCN where I did the offence is wrong and I can prove this with google maps.
You think this PCN because of the location error is void? and that I should tell the council who issued the PCN to cancel the notice? Thanks in advance for any advice.
Nice video good to inform the public on being scammed. 2 tips off the bat, 1 get a shirt thats not as tight and 2 if you work on pronunciation of words more people will listen and be able understand all the good information in your video
If you decide to pay them. Go to the Bank and request for it all in change and send it them in a box... I had ParkingEye charge me an extortionate £100 for overstaying by two minutes. They then took it to court and ramped it up to £185.00, I payed them in change starting from 10p.
I received a ticket from parkingeye today and called citizen advice they told me to ignore it
@@extrnl777 did they actually hahaha. Legend surprised they weren’t Karen’s. I’m currently fighting a court case with them and I know it’s pissing them off
i’ve received a £100 parking invoice for 15mins parking, told them my dad had a funny turn, i have witness statements, they declined the appeal and i received bailiff letter it’s now £170, i wrote to them again but still no joy. what do i do ?
@@ross785 You have to ask yourself why would they approve your appeal? Do you think they care about you? They are corrupt amongst the majority of them and they will do anything in their legal power to attain money from you. The only reason they even have an appeal is because it’s required in the practice set out by the B.P.A.
I’m guessing you have not received a letter from the Claims Court? Unless you do you don’t need to take any action.
These companies will taunt and attempt to intimidate you into paying them. Truthfully they don’t have any power and the most the can do is take you to the Claims Court and apply for the money then you will have a month to pay the fine before it goes on your record.
It is highly unlikely and not business wise for them to do this as it’s risky they could lose the Claim so 99% of the time you’ll be alright.
@@shamar8529 hi thanks for the reply, no claims court letter’s received just a bailiffs letter shortly after my appeal was turned down, the invoice is now £170 🤷🏻♂️. shall i just ignore the emails from now on ?
I am a courier driver for uber eats and I had a pickup for mcdonalds in Swiss cottage. I parked on a tfl suspended parking and I was issued a ticket. Do I have to pay for this? Please advice me
What if the reg number is not visible on the pictures?
This is the UK car park management
That seems like good grounds for appeal - if they don't have evidence then the court will likely throw the case out
I got the ticket right in my private car park. I had a displayed on the windscreen parking permit with only obscured holographic P mark AFTER the ticket got unstuck and slid to the bottom of the windscreen. All written information on the ticket was clearly visible. I’ve lived at my address for 12 years and PCM company guarding this car park for 3 years. It was a first time I got the ticket. I appealed to IAS and they refused. I’m still going through the case. What do you think I should do?
@@MoneyNerd Thank you. If you claim that you give advice then give advice. Your link doesn’t provide with anything useful - it’s all general stuff.
Exactly the same thing I’m going through now. They’ve rejected my appeal even though I submitted my title deed for the flat.
Exactly what im going thru now...
I got a ticket from a private company in 2019. I tried making payment online but all payments methods didn’t go through. I took screenshot of payment failures. After 28 days payment increased to £160. I emailed the debt collector to make the original payment which was £60 but they refused. They are now taking me to court to pay a total of £273. Is this a case I can win in court or I should make payment?
It's hard to say, but if you have the screenshot of the payment failures and record of you notifying them then this could be a good defence in court. Good luck with it all.
Any update on this what happened
Lol imagine being so petty that they take it to court over an insignificant sum of money
@@MoneyNerd civil enforcement ltd took me to court, but they did not show up. These cowboys only try to scare people, that's all. You don't have to ignore letters from them, but don't pay them. They can send you letters, just read them and keep. Never try to appeal, then you admit of breaching their rules
Well guess what?! I paid the drop off charges at Heathrow T3 and AFTER paying I got issued a PCN dated the next day. I paid over the phone and have text proof. I appealing it but they want more info which they have not provided in the text. Under no circumstances am I going to pay any fines.
I received a £40 - 00p fine, For driving into an hospital car park that was full , i then drove straight out to another car park opposite which was also full , i then returned to the first car park hoping some cars had left but still no spaces were available , during my excursion from the first car park the time was ticking away on the first camera that filmed me it was now 19 minutes which was 9 minutes over what they called a drop off time of 10 minutes, i never became stationary in that time or parked, of course any appeal was poo-pooed by the parking company , does anyone have any advise as to pay or not pay because the usual is they threaten you that it goes up to £80-00p, thanks.
Hi Paul! The next step after an unsuccessful appeal is an escalation to the POPLA or the IAS. These articles can serve as guidelines for extra help: moneynerd.co.uk/private-parking-fines/ and moneynerd.co.uk/private-parking-fines/parking-tickets/ Good luck!
So Basically regent parking gave me a parking fine back in august and I only parked there for 15 minutes as there was no other place to park because I had to assist a disabled family member, I wrote all this in the appeal and they rejected it HOWEVER they didn’t even send me a letter saying they rejected it rather they just sent me a letter from an external debt collector saying I owe them £170?!?, after I went on this companies website I saw they rejected it but I never physically got this letter to independently appeal again and now it’s too late to independently appeal, this is unfair, what do I do?
You need to learn the Common Law- writing letters to the company as a Living Man saying you accept their charges conditionally but you require answers to questions like: Proof of contract between two parties and so on also ask them to proof you have consent to share your intelectual property, which is your legal fiction's name as well as your address and phone number or whatever they have shared with third party.
There's a decent guide on the moneysavingexpert site about how to get out of these charges.
What happened?
Subbed and thumbs up btw :)
Thank you so much for your support!
Interesting to know. Smart parking want to fine me for overstaying my parking at a pharmacy. Apparently only allows 15 minutes. Camera shows 15:01 😮
I just checked my credit file and shocked to realise i have a CCJ on there for not paying a parking ticket issued by parking eye.
But i never knew anything about it and never knew anything about the court hearing etc.
Is there anything i can do about this and get it removed ?
In Canada, they come off automatically after 3 years, or 6 years depending on the credit check company used. Or if you pay it, it removes it quicker. Not sure about anywhere eelse though,.
I’ve got CCJ paperwork from a PCN that arrived at the weekend. So I’m going to have to pay it don’t want a CCJ
@@MoneyNerd I was surprised it’s been four years, parked in a disabled spot by accident due to my health. But if I defend it, it won’t work because I have no evidence from four years. All I have is my medical records, which I sent to them and they don’t even reply. I can’t be doing with the stress over Christmas so I’m just paying it. I just don’t want a CCJ X
What happens if u lose the ticket, how do u apply to letting them know u were cited without the paper
Or how do u replace it?
Reason 7 - Overstaying - is not quite as you say.
The 10 minute grace period 2015 act did not apply to private car parks. New legislation is now in place, but it is not as simple. The current BPA Code of Practice on grace periods takes the new law into account. Here's what they tell their members:
"13 Consideration and Grace Periods
13.1 The driver must have the chance to consider the Terms and Conditions before entering into the ‘parking contract’ with you. If, having had that opportunity, the driver decides not to park but chooses to leave the car park, you must provide them with a reasonable consideration period to leave, before the driver can be bound by your parking contract. The amount of time in these instances will vary dependant on site size and type but it must be a
minimum of 5 minutes.
13.2 The reference to a consideration period in 13.1 shall not apply where a parking event takes place.
13.3 Where a parking location is one where a limited period of parking is permitted, or where drivers contract to park for a defined period and pay for that service in advance (Pay & Display), this would be considered as a parking event
and a Grace Period of at least 10 minutes must be added to the end of a parking event before you issue a PCN.
13.4 Unauthorised motorists will not be entitled to the minimum time period of 5 minutes for a consideration period in
spaces designated for specific users e.g Blue Badge holders, pick up/drop off or where parking is prohibited such as
hatched areas in front of emergency exits, or on entry and exit ramps etc.
13.5 You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at
a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is.
13.6 Neither a consideration period or a grace period are periods of free parking and there is no requirement for you to offer an additional allowance on top of a consideration or grace period."
SO IF YOU EXCEED THE CONSIDERATION PERIOD your parking period starts from when you arrived (not the end of the consideration period). THEN IF YOU OVERSTAY the parking period you can't just drive away during the 10 minute grace period and forget about it, you must pay for the extra time you have parked, although the Operator can't stick a ticket on your windscreen until the end of the grace period.
SO FOR ANPR car parks, which time your stay very accurately, there's no getting away with it - but NIL DESPERANDUM...
TIPS FOR ANPR CAR PARKS
1. Use an app to pay, so you can extend your stay remotely.
2. Set a reminder on your phone and allow time to get back.
3. If you get back late and can't pay for whatever reason, or suspect you might have overstayed, if pay by phone is operating SPEAK TO A HUMAN PAY BY PHONE OPERATOR ASAP. Be nice, explain that you acted in good faith, think you made a mistake and ask if you can still pay. I've done it, it works, even the day after. Think about it... the accounts are not reconciled with the Operator for a day or so, to allow all cars to leave and avoid mistaken issue of PCNs.
I hope this helps someone.
Thanks for the update!
Not law
Provide proof of law
Grounds
Equity, contract, obligation, consent, bills of exchange (provide invoice)
We don’t send letters, we send notices
What about when it goes to that county court judgement stuff ??
Had one today which makes em look even more crooked😂😂💕
I didn't receive the first notice
I received a privacy notice when I parked in a private property location. Should I expect something in the post requesting to pay up or is it just a warning- can’t find a clear answer anywhere
Hi. Im an uber eat driver. I got 2ticket already. Sign on the board was "loading goods only “ and there is a man on sign, carrying a push trolley.
On the ticket, it shows 1min (warden waiting time)
I appealed it but they came back to me, my vehicle are not registered as loading goods, and they said aslo, wardens don't have to wait certain minutes for your vehicle.
I really don't understand, sign says nothing about Registered vehicles only, or this vehicles are not allowed or any time limit.
When you wanna appeal it they give you lot of list about parking rules.
Also there was a another sign top of it, for disable parking time, which is I was OK. But there were not Road mark atall, (disabled and Loading) just the post signs and cut white lines. I really don't wanna pay anymore for the tickets. There is no place for me to park for pick up my customers food.
In Canada, only vehicles designated as commercial vehicles can use a loading zones. A 'commercial' vehicle and/or a vehicle insured for employment will have a unique alpha-numeric sequence on the licence plate that can be easily spotted by a warden at one hundred yards. The warden demonstrated courtesy by waiting one minute, in your case. Next time you receive a parking ticket, consider it a lesson and the fine you pay is your tuition fee. Don't forget to thank the warden next time for a job well done in preventing the expansion of urban chaos.
Was your 2nd ticket more than the first? I curious if the more you get the more the cost? I'm UberEATS driver too...I got a ticket today but I'm worried about not being able to work because most restaurants don't have any real parking spaces
I got so many parking fines. One was government, the machine on the street wasn’t working (I have a strong sense that the parking agent damaged it to give people fines!).
I got another one for 11min (eleven minutes) grace period. £170.
What about parking a car with hazards on, loading in for a for musical gig, not blocking traffic n the officer never id’d the person driving my car???
hazards dont make illegal parking any different. The ID might be a technicality, I'm not sure. Not blocking traffic is irrelevant if it was an illegal park.
Fines are unlawful unless you have had your time in court and tried
There is no letter template in the video description
sorry about that, I'll fix this evening
I parking in front of my house and got 9 parking tickets different days
I received 13 eyeparking charge notice. As I parked my car near gym they send me notice to pay £60 within 14 days or £100 if you pay after 14 days. Almost £800 and its too much what should i do?
Im in the exact same boat went gym everyday for 5days a week got the letters 2 weeks later, didn't realise you have to enter your reg onto the tablet. Ive racked up atleast £1200 before I got my first letter, how is this fair?
This article about Parking Eye might be helpful moneynerd.co.uk/private-parking-fines/parking-eye-fines/
So the fact that they are only legally allowed to charge £50 max but many of them still start at 100 and then ramp it up to 70, isn’t that itself proof that they are acting illegally? Isnt this in itself grounds for dismissal
Tbh many of us if we are fave with a 50 quid fine and a chance to pay 25/30 within a specified time will suck ut up and pay, it is that their fines are so unfair and disproportionate that riles us up.

NCP is a private company! Did anyone who gets a PCN get in to a contract with them? That will be no! no contract no fine.....and the same with private for profit company's call UK.PLC. it is still a private company! no contract no deal!
I paid my 2.50 to park at euro car parks
And now it’s gone up to £100 saying I never paid letters and every thing do I ignore them cause I paid but who keeps the ticket
Tell them we voted Brexit so Euro car parks should leave as well!
Cheers bri
My pleasure!
I own my own van but put it in a different name and insured it to drive all taxed and above board . I had a few tickets but not in my name now so that's how I get away with it
Noted
I completely ignored every letter they sent.
Just be prepared that they might take you to court
How about no signs at all indicating anything we all got tickets
How about congestion charge?
Hey Gus, if you google: 'transport for london penalties and enforcement' it will show you a page which outlines what to expect. If you think that the charge is wrong you can challenge it online
McDonalds car park have charged me £100 for staying 2 hours. I had no idea parking wasn’t free!
I cannot afford to pay, I’ve contacted MET and explained my financial difficulties but they sent a generic response saying if I pay within 2 weeks it’s £60.
Anything over a tenner is immoral. I could park all day in London for less than they’re asking for.
you aren't going to beat Shitdonalds, they have a billion signs up, c'mon, it's pretty much the Disney of food, unless you are legally blind, in which case how were you driving....
not to say that it isn't an absolute scam and sham.....

Yes, it's a legit company. Just be aware they charge you monthly after the trial period

What if they pass the debt onto a law firm and not a private debt collector?
No difference.

Hi @darrencurtis8409! This article might help if you want to appeal a parking ticket: moneynerd.co.uk/private-parking-fines/appealing-parking-ticket/
You can't appeal no tickets never win and Dagenham and Barking Council stole my disability registered car for parking tickets and wanting me to pay nearly £5,000 my car was worth around £3,000 I took my Blue Badge as well is there anything I can do has no one seems to want to help thanks
Thanks for your content and info here. I received an reminder of unpaid parking charge in a retail park in Nottingham due to overtime. It was a fine of £170 by a Direct Collection Bailiffs Ltd (DCBL). I called them and they mentioned the retail park had issued two parking charge at £60 and £100 respectively but I had never received them. I am no longer able to appeal on it and DCBL told me the next opportunity to dispute the charge would be if the matter was taken to Court. What should I do? Pay for it or it will be taken to the Court?
Got the same thing, what’s happened with yours?
Is the name addressed to you in Full Capitals? Then this is Not You. It's your straw man. Ignore everything do Not respond in any way. As you don't recognise the name as being You.
@@whatsthetruth23923 Can you help me as well? I received a letter from the council saying I need to pay £195 because of a PCN I hadn't paid on time. But I only received their first PCN after the deadline as I was staying at another address at that time. They also say in the letter that the only way to challenge it now is in court. And if I don't pay, they will send enforcement agents. What shall I do? Thanks so much!!
Courts/ council work hand in hand a bunch of crooks. I haven't paid a parking fine for years. The so called bailiffs are private rent a thug, they try to intimidated, normally a bald head thug with yellow jacket. Let him say what he wants to say,. Then shut the door in his face, oh be polite, say have a nice day😅
Leave it, get a notice of implied rights of access put on your door, transfer registered ownership of your car to your friend/distant family member, every letter afterwards you recieve, do not open and return back to them writing on the front of the letter “NO CONTRACT RETURN TO SENDER” also cover the name and address in the plastic window with permanent marker.
I've had a letter before court from a private parking company for stopping on a small spot of land for 3 mins 18 seconds to take a call to make funeral arrangements for my late father in law. I've lost both appeals from the company and the independent popla avenues. I also was told as I was not going to park the grace period does not apply to me. I didn't realise when I stopped it was in fact a private car park as my mind was on the telephone call regarding the recent family death. Can I win this if I let it go to court
I suggest you would win IF the judge has no campaign ties to that company or people who know of them. If a judge is appointed by the state, rather that voted in by the public, you have a fair chance of getting it dismissed but bring your proof to back up your testimony. Your phone, obituary, a witness, etc. They get away with it because no one takes the time to question but youve done way more than others so dont let those efforts go in vain
GREAT VIDEO ... However, I STRONGLY recommend you do NOT just ignore a Government parking fine.
Durham County Council WILL take legal action if you just ignore their parking tickets....EVERY TIME!
Legal does not mean lawful. Waive your rights to be recognized as a PERSON/PERSON(S)
Do not contract with them, legal isn’t lawful. Acts statutes and legislations are not law. You as a living man can only be tried under natural/common law. Law of the land.
@@lewissell8904How do you do this please?
Hi @briansaiditsoitmustbetrue4206! Thanks for the compliment and the insight.
it's time for brits to take action against all this carp enough is enough
No sh!t we can appeal if the signs are not there nobody’s in that situation people just want to park and go get food for 10mins how do you fight it even if you are in the wrong
2 supermarket parking tickets last august. Still not paid lol.
Has it gone to court
No, no letters for about 3 months.
They could take you to court any time in the next 6 years
Probably won’t though as it would cost them more than it’s worth. I wasn’t driving, so the onus is on them to prove that.
Hi - I got a parking ticket for not displaying the full parking permit - it was 5-10% obscured by the wiper blade. I appealed and lost through the POPLA. The most annoying thing is I am the freeholder of my property and the parking bay, which is run by a housing association; who have a PTL run the parking control. The appeal response was so late the fine has gone from 60-100 now. Half of me wants to pay, the other half wants to fight this all the way to the courts; Please advise what I should do next.
update plz
@@willdatsun Hiya - received numerous letters from the debt recovery company so far.
Any updates?
@@martynaw3025 lots or warning letters from DRP , some I returned to sender. But nothing else at the moment.
Any update? As I'm on same situation
So I recently got a car park ticket cos I got back to car about an hour late (I genuinely thought I’d paid enuff & didn’t realise it was 2hours max)
On the ticket I noticed it says vehicle was monitored from 14:57 to 14:57
Can someone advise to wether I have any grounds please.
I thought I could say I had come back to move car to better space within the same or adjust car park to move to a better space & get another new timed ticket & whilst I was at the machine I jst got a ticket he didn’t allow me a single minute
Wot you reckon ?
I jst genuinely cannot afford to being paying out £25 / £50 fine for a genuine oversight
I’m being as honest as I can not that they will appreciate that I doubt.
Ty
I think it’s a council ram car park ?
Everything is offer & acceptance. You have a 72 hour window to decline the offer ie you send the ticket back re saying - No Contract, No Offer, No Acceptance - job done !
Say again ,how is it brother
I received a parking charge from a private company for parking in an empty car park outside nandos. I received a first letter for a charge of £60 I ignored this and 3 and a half weeks later received another letter saying I must now pay £100. What should I do, just ignore it?
Private parking companies do not have the power to do anything. Ignore ignore and ignore
Ignoring it will land you with a CCJ plus court costs.
@@antman5474 You sound like you’re an employee of a Parking Company? Ignoring it is nothing but a very small chance that you’ll be taken to Court…
@@shamar8529 still very risky though. Parking firms know the system better than Mr Smith.
@@antman5474 Why is it risky? Do you not think it’s risky for them too? You are simply speaking from assumption not experience. It is highly unlikely you will be taken to Court over ‘Parking’ and if you are you are given the opportunity to rectify it. Stop promoting your false assumptions, people have the right to stand up against these outright corrupt and extortionate organisations!
Do not pay parking phones not at all
I am being taken to court by Brittiana parking. I have sent the actual ticket to the small claim court and the legal company have sent me a letter saying they think they will win in court and will proceed. The ticket machine was printing as a defect and did not print my reg plate. I may have typed my reg plate in wrong, But would have no way of knowing at the time. the time and date corresponds with the ticket, also the name of the car park is on the ticket.I sent a previous ticket too how the it should actually look, I have to say after actually providing evidence I’m disgusted with this decision. I am still refusing to pay as as have a feeling this is a scare tactic where they hope I will just pay. Brittiana parking really is a scumbag company.
Most parking tickets are successfully contended. My favourite resource is the MoneySavingExpert 'Parking Tickets, Fines & Parking' forum. They have a great step by step guide on how to beat these guys.
If they're not an official penalty notice from the council, just completely ignore them. Private companies try it on, threatening with court action etc, but in my experience they give up after a while.
Used to be good advice…dcbl and a few others are absolute swines. They are threatening ccjs now which they bulk process
Man I wish you would have said that this is in Europe.
NCP car parks uk are after me for not paying the machine was broken . It was impossible to talk to anyone about this matter they have put B W legal on to me they now want me to pay £300 for a failed 60 p fine . I don’t care what the law says I’m not paying period
pretty much watched the whole video before i realized this was for England... not relevant to me here in the US! hahahah😆🤣
