G24
Parking Ticket Support helps drivers and keepers win appeals against G24 PCN’s and Court claims. We also assist in ensuring no payment is made to debt recovery firms. Our Service will help you beat G24 Fines and save money.
We can help you avoid having to pay G24. A PCN is a ticket issued by a Private Parking Firm, these are often called parking charge notices. They are also referred to as fines
We have the legal knowledge and industry background built over many years in order to beat G24. This enables us to use the most appropriate appeal option in order to win your appeal. We never use mitigation in parking appeals.
We can handle your parking appeal for a low fee of £15. This also includes an appeal to the IAS or POPLA (as appropriate). In the future under new Government rules there will be a single appeals service. Our service will then include appeals to this new single appeals body.
To get started please fill in our contact form or email us info@parkingticketsupport.co.uk
If a parking firm has rejected your appeal there are still further avenues you may take. The route depends if the parking firm is a member of the IPC or the British Parking Association
- Rejected Appeals by members of the IPC (International Parking Community) must be done within 21 days of the date of rejection
- Rejected appeals by members of the BPA (British Parking Association) where a “POPLA” code has been provided must be done 33 days from the date of the rejection letter. It is a common misconception that the code is only valid for 28 days
- Those appeals for Penalty Notices issued for alleged breach of Railway Byelaws 2005 must be completed within 28 days of an appeal code for appeal to Appeals Service These are typically at railway car parks, although not all railway car parks are subject to byelaws.
If your appeal to the parking operator was rejected and they are a member of the BPA the following applies:
- An Appeal is logged at www.popla.co.uk
- Evidence and reasons for appeal are logged in one go. There is no second chance.
- POPLA will then receive the evidence from the parking company and you will have a chance to comment on the evidence.
- A decision will then be made by POPLA. The decision is binding on the operator but not on the motorist.
- If no evidence is logged by the operator within 21 days then the appeal is upheld and the motorist wins by default.
If they were a member of the IPC the following applies:
- An Appeal is logged at www.theias.org
- Evidence and reasons for appeal are logged in one go. There is no second chance.
- The IAS will then receive the evidence from the parking company and you will have a chance to comment on the evidence. This is what they call their Prima Facia case. You can then send this back to the operator comment or straight to arbitration
- A decision will then be made by the IAS. The decision is binding on the operator but not on the motorist.
- If no evidence is logged by the operator within 8 days then the appeal is upheld and the motorist wins by default.
A reminder notice is often sent out 14 to 35 days after the original Notice to keeper was issued. You options for appeal will depend on whether you are within the appeal period
If you are within 28 days of issue of the notice to keeper then you can:
- Appeal the PCN.
- You will no longer be entitled to pay the reduced although we don’t think anyone should pay a PCN issued by G24. Some Parking companies are very strict on their time limits for appealing. Some like Parking Eye will allow appeals very late.
If you have received a court claim from a parking operator then don’t panic as we can help you defend and successfully win the claim. We charge £35 for dealing with parking ticket court claims.
The court process seems daunting but is quite straightforward:
- You receive an N1 claim form from G24.
- You write and email a defence to CCBC
- You let the court know where you wish to have the clear heard by using form N180.
- You submit a witness statement
- You attend the hearing and hopefully win
G24 manage a large number of car parks across the UK and are members of an accredited trade association. The trade association produce a set of rules which a parking company should abide by.
Since 2012 through the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 parking companies have been able to hold keepers liable for the actions of drivers
In 2015 the supreme court decided the parking charge levied by parking firms was legitimate and enforceable through the courts.
Many people ask should you pay a parking firm. In our view the simple answer is now. Quality Solicitor have created a recent blog post here
No we don’t believe there is any circumstances in which a PCN from any parking operator should ever be paid. Once paid there is no option of appeal and the case file is then closed.
Any parking ticket situation by any parking operator can be dealt with. Just fill in our contact form for immediate support.
In order for a parking company to obtain data from the DVLA they must belong to one of two trade associations. These are either the International Parking Community (IPC) or the British Parking Association
The parking company can then look up the data of the keeper a fee of £2.50. This is done under the Kadoe Contract
