Private parking tickets are NOT the same as council fines
Private parking companies like ParkingEye, Euro Car Parks, and UKPC issue invoices, not fines. They're businesses trying to make money — and they rely on you not knowing your rights.
The good news? There are strict rules they must follow under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 and BPA/IPC Codes of Practice. If they break these rules, you don't have to pay.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay private parking tickets?
Private parking charges are invoices, not fines. While they can eventually go to debt collectors or court, many can be successfully appealed if the parking company hasn't followed proper procedures. The key is to respond promptly and appeal on valid grounds.
What is the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012?
This UK law sets out the rules private parking companies must follow. Most importantly, it requires them to send a "Notice to Keeper" within 14 days of the alleged contravention. If they miss this deadline, they cannot pursue the registered keeper for payment.
What if my appeal is rejected?
If the parking company rejects your initial appeal, you can escalate to an independent appeals service. BPA members use POPLA, while IPC members use IAS. These services are free to use and their decisions are binding on the parking company (but not on you).
Will this affect my credit score?
Private parking charges generally don't appear on your credit file unless they go to court and result in a County Court Judgement (CCJ). By appealing properly and on time, you can often avoid this outcome entirely.
