Private parking tickets / Re: Euro Car Parks PCN at Saintsbury, Sutton - Overstayed by 1 Minute, Now in Debt Recovery – Advice Needed
« on: February 10, 2025, 01:52:38 pm »
Thanks for your response.

Yes you are right. Its Sutton in Surrey.

I have a few more questions regarding the next steps:

   1.   Since I attempted to pay the original £100 fine and entered my PCN number on the Euro Car Parks website, does this mean they have a record of me admitting I was the driver? Could this affect my ability to defend the claim if it goes to court?
   2.   If I decide to wait for them to issue a court claim and defend it, what are the next steps? Would I need to attend court in person to defend it, or can this be done remotely/in writing?
   3.   Worst-Case Scenario – If I lose the claim, what’s the worst outcome? Would it just be the £170 plus court fees (and how much would it be?), or could there be additional penalties?

Thank you!

Private parking tickets / Euro Car Parks PCN at Saintsbury, Sutton - Overstayed by 1 Minute, Now in Debt Recovery – Advice Needed

Hi all,

I received a Parking Charge Notice (PCN) from Euro Car Parks for overstaying by just one minute (2-hour free stay limit). At the time, I felt it was unfair, so I ignored both the initial notice and the final reminder.

Recently, I received a debt recovery letter stating that the penalty has increased to £170. I attempted to pay the original £100 fine on the Euro Car Parks website, but after entering my PCN number, it redirected me to the debt recovery page. This suggests they have my record flagged and know I attempted to check or pay.

I’m now unsure how to proceed:
1. Should I continue ignoring it? Will this escalate to a court order?
2. Can I still pay just the original £100 fine instead of £170? If so, how?
3. I regret not appealing earlier—should I try to dispute it now?

Any advice on the best course of action would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
