Private parking tickets / UKCPM Parking Fine - Had a permit to park - Residential area
« on: February 05, 2026, 04:35:44 pm »
Hello all,
In December, I spent a week house sitting for my friend. He added my car to the permit during the full time that I was staying there.
A month or so later I received five separate PCNs for parking in that space on five different days, despite uploading a screenshot as evidence that my car had been added to the permit. Here is one of them: https://ibb.co/9m5td6tm
I appealed each and every one of them, expecting them to accept that an error had been made. My appeal said:
Hello, There must be a mistake here! The permit was updated to add my car (number plate **** ***) on 8th December. The car was registered to that address between 8th-26th December, so a PCN should not have been issued for 13th December. I have attached evidence, please rectify.
The reply I received is below:
After careful consideration, it is unfortunate that I am writing to you today to advise that on this occasion, your appeal has been unsuccessful.
The decision to uphold your parking charge notice has been made on the following basis.
Whilst we note the comments and reason for appeal, as per our photographic evidence, the vehicle was parked in contravention of the advertised terms and conditions. As the vehicle was parked without a valid virtual permit for the full and correct registration, we can confirm that this PCN has been issued correctly.
Please note, a new notice will automatically be generated and sent to you, as the liability has been transferred into your name. This is for your records only and does not allow you to appeal again internally or transfer liability. You now have 14 days from the date of your new notice to make payment at the reduced fee of £60.00. If payment is not received within 14 days, the fee will increase to the full amount of £100.00.
Either due to the reason for issue and/or the insufficient evidence provided to support the details of your appeal, we have considered this PCN and found that it does not fall under the category of Annex F the Appeals Charter of the Single Code of Practice. Therefore, if no further evidence is provided, we will deem this to be our final decision.
You have now reached the end of our internal appeals procedure and therefore you now have two options; either pay or appeal to the Independent Appeals Service (IAS) - you cannot do both.
I have not yet had a response for the other four PCNs, but I suspect it will be the same. Do you think it's worth me appealing to the IAS?
Please advise on the best course of action or if there's any more information you need. Thanks all .
