Hi everyone,

I only received this parking charge invoice from UKPS today (13th Jan) and apparently today is the very last day to pay the discounted £60.The thing is, I literally just stopped to pick someone up – stayed in the driver’s seat the whole time, turned the car around, max 5 minutes and left. I tried to attach the photos but for some reason but photos are from their own notice which clearly show I was in the car the entire time. Feels like a proper pick-up stop rather than parking to me, but I’m panicking a bit because of the deadline. Has anyone successfully appealed something similar with UKPS?
What should I put in an appeal today to hopefully keep the discount if they reject it later?
Or is it safer to just pay the £60?Any help or quick template would be amazing – really appreciate it!

Thanks so much

Hi Happy New Year!

I sent an email to them on 25 December, but I have not yet received any confirmation of receipt or acknowledgment. Is this something I should be worried about, or can I consider it sufficient that I have evidence of having sent the email?

Hi everyone,

I'm in a bit of a bind and could really use some advice from anyone who's dealt with similar parking issues, especially with hospital parking or private parking. I'll try to keep this as concise as possible.

Background: I recently moved from Scotland to the Midlands (yeah, hindsight is 20/20), and my wife is a doctor working for the NHS at a local hospital. I didn't realise or update my address on my V5C (vehicle log book) when I moved previously – I always updated my DVLA driving license, insurance, and breakdown cover, but overlooked the V5C thinking it wasn't strictly necessary. I've since corrected that.

The issue: I pick up my wife from the hospital most days. The pick-up/drop-off zone has a 10-minute max stay rule, but due to heavy traffic, it often takes that long just to pull up. Plus, my wife frequently gets delayed leaving the ward because of clinical emergencies or other reasons – she can't have her phone on her, and signal in the hospital is terrible anyway, so she couldn't let me know she'd be late. Over the last 4 months, I've apparently overstayed on a few occasions while waiting.

The hospital outsources parking enforcement to a company, Car Parking Partnership (CPP). They must have sent initial notices to the old address on my V5C, which I no longer have access to, so we never received them.

Fast forward, and we've just gotten 3 letters from DCBL (a debt collection agency) demanding £170 each for these incidents.

What I've done so far: We contacted the hospital for help, explaining we never got the original letters, but they said it's out of their hands and we need to deal directly with CPP and DCBL. I haven't reached out to them yet.

Questions: Where do I stand legally on this? Is there a way to appeal or challenge these fines, especially since we didn't receive the initial notices due to the outdated V5C address?
Any tips on minimising the amounts or even getting them waived entirely? Should I contact CPP first or DCBL? Has anyone had success appealing hospital parking fines under similar circumstances (e.g., NHS staff family, genuine pick-up delays)?

Any guidance, templates for letters/emails, or resources would be hugely appreciated – this has come at a really bad time financially.

Thanks in advance!

Best,
A.A
