Why would you get a UK Car Park Management fine?
The operator could give you a Parking Charge Notice for several reasons. It could be that you’re suspected of committing a significant parking violation.
Or maybe the violation was for minor parking infractions which is often the case.
I’ve listed the more common reasons why you could get a ticket from the operator here:
- You parked badly over two bays
- You failed to pay to park
- Your vehicle was left in a bay reserved for Blue Badge Holders or families with young children
- You forgot to display a ticket correctly in your vehicle
When you don’t obey Blue Badge parking rules, an operator will issue you with a Parking Charge Notice.
That said, the RAC found that the number of parking tickets being issued is up by nearly 30%! The report also found that misleading and confusing signage in private car parks is part of the problem.2
This means, that a large number of the people who are fined simply made a genuine mistake or accidentally followed poor parking indications.

I was recently featured in The Sun about parking tickets, where I encouraged everyone to check whether the ticket was issued by a member of a trade association.
If they aren’t, then they probably can’t get your details from the DVLA to pursue you.

Can they enforce a Parking Charge Notice?
In short, you could face court proceeding for parking fines that go unpaid.
How to appeal the Parking Charge Notice
Also, make sure you follow the parking appeals process as set out by the operator. UK PCM then has up to 35 days to respond.
Here’s a quick table summarizing the most common appeal process and its steps.
| When | Action |
|---|---|
| On receiving a council PCN | Read the notice, keep it, gather evidence and note all payment and challenge deadlines. |
| Windscreen or handed-to-driver PCN | An informal challenge may be available before the Notice to Owner. Early challenge can preserve a discount under the authority’s policy; 14 days is not a universal final appeal deadline. |
| Postal PCN or Notice to Owner | Normally make formal representations within 28 days as stated on the notice. Do not assume there is an extra informal stage. |
| Representations rejected | The Notice of Rejection explains how to appeal to the appropriate independent tribunal, normally within 28 days. |
| Appeal unsuccessful | Pay by the deadline given in the decision or obtain advice on any available review. Further statutory charges can follow if you do neither. |
| Other ticket type | Private parking charges and FPNs use different procedures; follow the actual notice. |
