Private parking tickets / Parking Group – Vehicle Overstayed the Maximum Stay period – Newton Aycliffe
« on: February 23, 2026, 10:48:38 pm »
Hi,
Just received the parking charges for overstaying. This is parking outside of Leisure Centre which was free up to 2024 and many people are complaining about this and getting penalties for various things.
I'm adding a letter and it seems to be the driver overstayed 80-90 mins as sign suggests max 2.5hrs.

Please advise is it possible to overturn that?

As mentioned in comments, looks like they didn't bother in my case either and discontinued a case! Happy days! Thank you for all your support!

Hi,
I'm surprised I received that quickly.
N157-letter

Main question is about witness statement as I need to do this by 4th of February. Any suggestions or ready to use letters will be welcomed.

Thanks

Hi,
After mediation call I received that in December, 15th, while I was away. Base on some other threads/cases I just need to wait, right?
I did one thing right as case was transferred to my closest town :)
Quote
Notice of Transfer of Proceedings
[Details of the case, etc.]

To all parties

This claim has been transferred to the County Court at <TOWN> for allocation. On receipt, the file will be referred
to a procedural judge who will allocate the claim to track and give case management directions. Details of the
judge's decision will be sent to you in a notice of allocation.


P.S. Worth to mention that the mediator on the call said that there is a long wait in courts. TBH, I wish I recorded the phone call as he sounded like he wanted to convince me to settle.
It was between these lines "You might as well settle as you can wait even 1 year before court case can be allocated". At the time I wasn't impressed, however didn't question his competence to decide what's better for me. I was more worrying to say that my counter offer is £0.

Thanks

Hello,
Sent the message to them as per advice. However day 10th and no reply, so looks like the mediation appointment is going ahead next week.

Regarding payment... it was £60 (or £100 after 2 weeks) and managed to pay on 12th day.
amount claimed: £175.76
court fee: £35
legal representative's costs: £50
total claim: £260.76

Regarding mediation appointment, should I mention this during a call or ignore it?


Thanks

Hi,
Regarding G24 and payment... I've got an email confirmation and it's taken from my bank account. I've called DCBLegal about this when I've got letter from the court but in their words it's 2 late as it was already allocated to the court etc. I have tried to talk to someone more competent but couldn't pass 1st line of the support (I gave up explaining this to their support as I knew I need to reply to the court case anyway). To be honest it's a bit my fault as English is not my first language and I mistranslated an email I've received at early days of this case.

More or less, considering that I've paid and I've got a proof, should I prepare differently for mediation call allocated in November? I've found few other threads, so can follow the same structure, however wondering if I should do this a differently?

Thanks

Hi,
Just received DQ (Form N180) and date till 03 October to reply. Found other responses about filling DQ, just not sure if mine should be different as I have paid to G24 Ltd as per my entry post.
Please advice.

Private parking tickets / Smart Parking Ltd PCN / CCJ - Insufficient Paid Time - B&M
« on: August 30, 2025, 12:57:17 pm »
Hi,
Another one... I have received a claim by Smart Parking (DCB legal). It is related to contravention from 19/03/2022 and have no idea why and who was driving a car. Apparently the driver didn't pay enough/extended stay base on the letter. Don't recall I've received any PCNs on that or someone from household bin them as store and parking doesn't exist anymore at this location.

Following some other threads, just applied for AoS already, so I've got a bit more time to defend it.
Please advise or provide some defence if I should use specific one to this case (could see similar one here)

Claim letter

Thanks

Thanks for quick reply,however I'm still not sure what's the best to do now? Should I contest it? I found other threads about similar offence, just not sure if I can reuse the same forms or I should try talk to DCBLegal again that I paid for the original PCN.

Hi,
I received CCJ about parking charge from February 2025. Keeping story short... due to some family events I kept ignoring all letters from DCBL and considering I paid a penalty on time I thought this is a basic misunderstanding.
06/02/2025 - date of contravention
18/02/2025 - paid G24 Ltd (received a confirmation and all reference numbers are matching)

Then after that I've got 2-3 DCBL/DCBLegal letters and then CCJ from 29/06/2025 as per picture. I called them and the guy said there is nothing he can do as G24 Ltd referred to them as it was unpaid. The "funny" thing is that I genuinely paid them, so defo G24 didn't record this somehow. Looks like because I received already letter from court the only thing is to defend it now, am I right? Or still should I call DCBL and demand to remove court case base on the payment confirmation?


Thanks
