Private parking tickets / Re: Multiple Euro Car Parks PCNs (2021-2025) – DRP "Letter before referral for legal action" – Help needed!
« on: January 15, 2026, 08:21:31 am »
I can upload the one letter I've seen from Debt Recovery Plus later. 

I just spoke to my sister to ask her if she had anything about the payment plan.  She said she didn't have any letters and that she set it up over the phone.  She gave them her bank details after agreeing to pay £50 per month.  She said they called after the payment failed from her account.

It sounds like it may be too late to do anything possibly as when asking her a few more questions this is not the first payment she will be making, she said that they took a payment previously.  I guess that is likley a closed case? She had ballifs around for other tickets before and said she didn't want to be in that situation again.  I guess the best thing to do for now would be to lend her the £50 for her to pay this months payment?

Private parking tickets / Multiple Euro Car Parks PCNs (2021-2025) – DRP "Letter before referral for legal action" – Help needed!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice for my sister who is in a bit of a mess with some mainly old parking tickets. She’s currently not working and on paternity pay, and the stress of this is starting to get to her.

She has 4 outstanding tickets in total (3 from Morrisons Wood Green and 1 from Tottenham Hale). She ignored them at the time because of that old and clearly wrong advice that you don't have to pay private fines.

Three of the tickets are from around 2021 period in Morrisons Wood Green. Debt Recovery Plus (DRP) is now chasing for a total of £595. They sent a "Letter before referral for legal action" for one of the 2021 (01/12/2021) one recently, saying she owes £151.10 for that single ticket.

The main issues:

She tried to offer them £10 a month because she’s on paternity pay and has no other income. They refused it and demanded £70, then £50. She missed the first payment because she literally doesn't have it, they threatened to refer it to bailiffs if she didn't setup a payment plan and make pthe payments.

We don't have any of the original letters or photos because they’re from years ago. She might be able to find the most recent one which apparantly was from a few months ago in Tottenham Hale.


Is there any way to get them to accept a lower payment or just leave her alone while she's on maternity/paternity leave?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the advice, it seems as though there's a 50/50 chance, or maybe slightly better.  I looked at a few of the reviews for the tribunial and they don't look promising.  I think I might just pay this one as if I lose it will be the full amount, plus likely taking time of work to attend.
My bad. Apologies for PM!

Main issues:

1. No evidence of sign passed and inadequate.
2. Can this be used with a Bus Only legend?
3. Website does not contain grounds as far as I can see. Cases won on this very recently by cp8759 and myself.

I would certainly make a representation.

No problem.  Thanks for your replies, I have not made payment yet. I agree that there should be a sign on the left side of the road as that is where you usually expect them.

1. With regard to number 1 it looks like I have driven past or at minimum level with the "no entry" sign on the right hand side, in the pictures and in the video.

2. Hopefully someone knows the answer to this.

3. On this point, are you talking about the PCN page? on there it has "Contravention 51j Failing to comply with a no entry restriction.

Sorry, here is a Google Maps link to the location and an image.  Looks like I copied the wrong image codes in the OP.

I'm not really familar with the area I got the ticket.  I was there as I was picking up a relative from the hospital, as they went there with another relaitve but had to leave as they had an early morning appointment.

When leaving the hosiptal I was attempting to follow my sat nav and noticed that it was bearing/turning left ahead.  Which is when I drove past the no entry sign,which was a for buses only lane. The left turn I needed to take was at the end of the bus lane. I sort of glimsed the sign as I drove past it.  I pressed my brakes whilst past the sign and reversed back to check the sign, saw the no entry sign and reversed back out and went on the sort of roundabout to go past that no entry road and turn left just after it.

This may not be excusable but thought I'll have a check on here just in case or am I pretty much bang to rights and should just pay the £65? I was tired as I was about to go bed when relative phoned and asked if I could collect them,I was lost in the hospital for abit trying to find them. also I was probably slightly distracted by conversation with realtive as we just left the hospital and I following sat nav at the same time, which as I mentioned above I could see I was going to take the next left and assumed where I was driving was a normal road, until the sign registered with me a bit too late.

Thanks for any help or advice.

Hi please find some screenshots attached.  I just removed a couple of images as I realised they showed personal information in the background.  One of the images was an Error message I received when trying to sign up, which said error, account with the phone number already exists taken @ 11:44.

Council photos:

@Numberuno can you get us some screenshots of the various phone calls and text messages you've described?

In the meantime I've requested the parking places order.

Hi, I've been busy this week and this has slipped my mind.  I think I have until today to pay or appeal online.  I'll upload a couple of screen shots from my phone.  I would assume I have until about 5pm?

In the end, did you finally make payment for the right car or not ?

Yes I did in the end, but it was 12:22 when I paid for the right location and number plate.  The first payment I did to the wrong location and wrong number plate was at 11:48.

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / PCN Enfield -Code 73 Parked without payment of parking charge
« on: May 02, 2024, 12:06:31 am »
Hi,

I received the following PCN from Enfield Council, Code 73 Parked without payment of parking charge.

I hadn't used the carpark I was parking in and had to get to an appointment nearby, and not a lot of time left to get there. 

After parking in the carpark I was trying to figure out how to pay for the parking.  They used the "paybyphone" service.  I downloaded the app but it asked me to register, I thought I would phone up instead and got asked for a pin or something along those lines to continue.

I asked another carpark user and they said that they usually pay by the browser using the guest option.  I attempted to do that, entered my car details and when trying to add my card I received "connection failed" error message.

I then retried / started trying to register for the app, while going towards my destintation.  When inside the building I received error messages.  I mentioned I was trying to pay for parking to one of the employees who said there was no signal in the builing.

I got outside the building around 11:40 and found out I already had an account with "paybyphone" that I had forgotten about.  I did a password reset, logged in and paid for an hours parking.  When checking how much time I had left I noticed the location under the timer was wrong, as I took a picture of the location code and tried to enter when trying on the browser. 

I immediately checked my picture and then paid for another ticket.  Upon buying the second ticket for the right location, I noticed that the last letter of my number plate was incorrect.  I tried to phone them again, but got the pin request again, did some googling and saw I could cancel by sending FINISH within 5 minutes to a 65565 style number.  I did that, my mobile network said I will be charged for to send the message.  Even though I was going to be leaving I bought another ticket.  I had to add another car to the app as it looks like I entered a wrong letter on my number plate when I first used it in 2018.

On the way back to the carpark I saw a ticket warden walking down the street and I explained my mistakes to him and asked if I could appeal as I tried to pay for parking etc, he said likely not as it's user error.

My only issue with the tickets is I genuinely was trying to buy a ticket for my parking.  Unfortunately I didn't leave a lot of time and the technical errors I had didn't help either.  Do I have any hope of appeal? or is it best just to pay within the 14 days.
