Private parking tickets / Re: APCOA - Luton Airport Parkway Station - Premier Parking PCNs
« on: April 10, 2026, 06:33:32 pm »
Given the shortage of parking spaces due to works going on, is it likely the "foreign" PCNs have simply been removed from other "offending" vehicles and stuck on yours? Are the registration numbers completely different or just trivially changed - one or two characters?

Private parking tickets / Re: Smart Parking - Parking Charge is currently in a state at which we are unable to accept payment

There's quite a few cases involving (not so) Smart Parking on FTLA. Find a few and read 'em through. I doubt you'll find any where anyone had to pay (not so) Smart Parking.

And don't forget, the Driver now does nothing. All action and responses are by the Keeper.

Private parking tickets / Re: One Parking Solutions - ticket for returning within no return period

If it's specifically for "no return", maybe the reference should be to "driver(s)". It forestalls any assumption that there was ever one "driver"

A word if caution: don't expect to charge much above 80% on a high rate charger - charging slows down after that, plus it's often detrimental for the batteries to charge fast when near full.

Most of the time I've been using ZapMap.
This will hopefully now be augmented by the Tesla app, now I have a car that is (allegedly) compatible with superchargers on those Tesla sites that are open to non-Tesla vehicles.

There's only one place they'll find sympathy. Its in a dictionary, between "sh*t" and "syphilis"

The lease agreement very likely trumps any "rules" the parking co. and HA might try to impose, both by virtue of what it might say and equally what it might not say.
You are being advised by experienced people who do seem to help win cases. If they ask for specific information, it's because it can be important.
Also note: things don't get "escalated to a CCJ".
You might do well to read a few other threads here, after you've answered the question.

I wonder if there's any scope for chasing a claim in respect of a GDPR failure. Is the "going rate" about £500-£750?

I think the active bit of those links have got ballsed up. Copying the text you can SEE, rather than the click link behind, gives these:

Private parking tickets / Re: GXS Services PCN – Unauthorised Vehicle – Different car in evidence, no timestamp on plate, unverifiable location
« on: January 30, 2026, 10:58:15 am »
GXS seem to have catastrophically failed to perform their required due diligence and issued a charge to the keeper of the wrong vehicle.
They've now maintained their position even after their error was pointed out to them.
Doesn't that constitute a thumping GDPR failure?
What would be the chances for a counterclaim of £500-750 or thereabouts?
