What grounds do you have to appeal?
If you feel the parking fine is unfair or don’t deserve it, you have the right to dispute unfair parking fines.
I’ve listed some reasons why you could have grounds to appeal the fine here:
- You parked correctly and paid the correct fee
- You couldn’t get back to your vehicle for a valid reason
- You got the parking fine in the post, yet there were no signs saying CCTV was in operation in the car park
- There was no way for you to pay because the machines were out of order
- You received the fine in the post over 14 days after you used the car park
You could have grounds to challenge the Parking Charge Notice if any of the above apply. But if you committed a parking violation, you may have to pay.

Euro Car Parks appeal process
Here’s a quick table that explains each step you should take to appeal a parking ticket. If you want to learn more, please read our detailed guide.
| Process: | Steps you should take: |
|---|---|
| When you receive the ticket… | You should gather as much evidence as you can to support your appeal claim and prove that the ticket was unfairly issued. |
| If you were given the ticket in person/attached to your car… | You must make an informal appeal (sent to the local authority/council that issued the PCN) within 14 days. This should be a letter with the evidence proving why the ticket was incorrectly given. |
| If it was posted to you… | You will be given 21 days to submit an informal appeal (from the day you received the letter). Your informal appeal should be a letter with the evidence proving why the ticket was incorrectly given. |
| If the informal appeal is rejected… | You will receive a Notice to Owner and will have 28 days to respond to this with a formal appeal. You can conduct the formal appeal online or via paper form. The Traffic Penalty Tribunal can send you one of these forms. |
| If the formal appeal is rejected… | You will receive a Notice of Rejection. From here, you are free to challenge the council’s verdict at an independent tribunal. |
| If the independent tribunal disagrees with your appeal… | You should pay the ticket within 28 days of the tribunal rejecting your appeal. If you don’t, the fine will be increased by 50%. If you don’t have the money to pay the fine, you should contact Citizens Advice or another debt charity. |
