Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi,

Thank you very much for your help and for taking the time to provide such clear and detailed guidance, I really appreciate it, as well as all the work you do helping people with these matters.

I will write to them using the suggested wording, and if I hear anything further, I will let you know.

Many thanks again.

Hi,

I am hoping you may be able to offer some advice regarding a private parking charge notice (PCN).

I have received two PCNs from Universal Parking Enforcement relating to the same vehicle on two separate dates. The alleged contravention is “parking outside of the markings of the bay” at Jansel House Shoppers Car Park, LU2 7XH.

For one of the PCNs, the date of the alleged event was 22/10/2025, and the Notice to Keeper was issued on 15/11/2025.

I am the registered keeper of the vehicle, but I was not the driver on either occasion.

Due to work and family commitments, the letters were only opened a few days ago, and I am concerned about whether it is now too late to take any action or submit an appeal.

The vehicle was briefly stopped in order to drop items off at a nearby charity.

I would be grateful for your advice on whether there are grounds to challenge these PCNs and what steps, if any, I should take next.

For reference, I have included the following links:
