Private parking tickets / Advice on Euro Car Parks ticket – overstay by 24 minutes
« on: October 17, 2025, 11:38:35 am »
Hi everyone,
I’m hoping to get some advice regarding a parking charge notice I’ve received from Euro Car Parks.
• I parked in a private camera-operated car park and originally bought a ticket from 13:57 to 15:57.
• I was delayed and forgot to extend my ticket until 16:19, paying for another hour until 17:19.
• My car was in the car park from 13:55 to 17:18, so there was a 24-minute period unpaid for. This was an honest mistake; I had no intention of avoiding payment.
• I received a £60 parking charge notice. I appealed, but it was rejected, and they’ve confirmed their internal appeals process is now closed.
My question: Should I escalate this to the independent appeals service (POPLA / IAS), or just pay the reduced fine while I can?
I’d appreciate any guidance from people who have experience with Euro Car Parks or private parking charges.
Thanks in advance!
