Hello, I am looking for some advice and to see whether there is anything that could be done regarding this matter. Location: LiverpoolReason for Contravention: Parked on double yellow lines Notice by: NPC (National Parking Control)Received a ticket for parking on double yellow lines, on the private car park that belongs to 2 blocks of flats, 1 of them where I live. Fenced area, "security booth" - that serves as entrance to the car park. Now I am having a massive issue with it. There is actually a lot going on regarding this car park.First I have received the letter informing of the ticket fine. Letter was already delayed at least a week.Reason for that is that the property management company that is HHL distributes the post. Which should be delivered at least couple of times within a week. In reality it is minimum 7 days of delay. Fine is £60 paid within 14 days, after it is £100.I struggle with some personal stuff as well, at the minute when it arrived I couldn't afford it as all I do is survival those days. If I would have some more of that initial time I would probably pay the initial fine £60. However I couldn't. That directly after went to £100 and shortly after without any reminder or information or contact straight to debt recovery.Received letter from DCBL - Notice of debt recovery - £170 (£100 fine + £70 charge I presume).As usual letter dated for 16.12.2025, thrown at the doorstep on 23.12.2025, just before the Christmas Eve, and I have 14 days from the date of the letter to either pay or call them to discuss repayment. This is just insane considering ongoing holidays.Now I will proceed to the background story for the car park.I moved in this place around 2 years back. Car park was never managed to the point that there was and still is till today a lot of "abandoned" cars that take space. We've been promised this will be dealt with but have never been. People would park the way they could, on double yellow lines (just next to the wall), especially throughout the weekends. That would be ongoing since I've moved in.Now NPC has been introduced without clear rules or in general in very misleading way around October 2025.There was no information from HHL or my property agency. On 29th of September A4 paper on doorstep that NPC will be managing the car park from the 2nd of October 2025.30 of September they have put the signs in place which brought everyone to confusion since signs require you to have a valid NPC permit to be able to park there. No one at all has received any permit. People were angry.I've managed to call HHL after they claimed "NPC has put wrong sings in place". When they were changed I don't know, certainly without information about changes. Today they are different. Massive confusion, no one knows what is happeningParking situation remains same, people park in same spots, parking overloaded. Cars parked on sidewalk, double lines, wherever they can.Now I've received the fine for my car being parked on 2nd of November 2025, Sunday on double yellow lines. As far as I remember my car was never parked improperly or outside of bay unless there would not be a space. Since received as well fine for parking on street that used to be daily checked I've been waiting for the permit at the same time. So there was no good situation here. From the evidence photos it is clearly visible the car has been park on yellow double lines, however as closely as possible facing the wall, making sure there is a lot of clearance. And meanwhile you could see other car parked in exactly same manner behind, plus visible bays being full.Turns out as well permit was sent on 27th of October 2025. Just before mentioned fine. And has arrived only after mentioned date. Between Monday to Wednesday (can't recall properly).Seems like all I am having is bad luck and issues with this property. If not that there is rats in engine bay from mentioned car park. Mice in walls ceiling. I am just depressed at the minute.I cannot even afford that right now, I've got priority bills to catch up with.On top of that I've checked my tenancy agreement and there is no mention about parking space so I guess... Is there anything that could be done regarding this situation?
