Why Has Euro Parking Collection Written to You?
Euro Parking Collection plc specialises in contacting people about unpaid transport charges involving foreign-registered vehicles across Europe. Its clients include public authorities, toll operators and private parking companies. Companies House records EPC as company 03515275.
EPC's parking information distinguishes its administrative and collection role from the parking operator's role: EPC does not operate or manage the car park. The organisation that issued the charge still matters when checking what happened and which rules apply.
Parking Charge, Road Toll or Traffic Penalty?
EPC's website separates parking, road tolls and congestion or traffic charges. Its client information covers several countries, as well as Transport for London schemes. These are not interchangeable types of parking ticket.
Read the notice for the original issuer, location, event date, vehicle registration, charge type and response deadline. A foreign parking demand must not automatically be treated as an English private-parking claim. Equally, a council or TfL penalty must not be answered as though it were an operator appeal to POPLA.
View the Charge and Contact EPC
EPC's official contact page asks for the invoice, reference or case number and number plate. Its parking page says the case information includes the parking event, charges, administrative fees and current status.
Compare those details with the notice and your records. If you dispute the demand, state the error and provide relevant supporting records through the official contact facility or the method specified on the notice. Keep a copy and check for confirmation; do not assume that a general enquiry extends a formal deadline.
EPC publishes its appeals postal address as EPC Appeals, PO Box 149, Dartford, DA1 9BD, United Kingdom. Its contact number is +44 (0)20 7288 9740. It states that payments cannot be made by telephone.
Paying or Disputing an EPC Notice
First establish what is being collected and for whom. If you intend to pay, use the payment instructions on a verified notice or the official EPC website. Check the currency, reference and amount before paying, and retain the receipt.
If you disagree with the charge, explain why. A payment receipt, vehicle sale record or evidence that the registration was misread addresses different issues; use the documents that answer the actual allegation. The issuer and country determine the formal appeal rights, not the EPC name alone.
Received a Later Demand or Court Document?
Check whether the new document is another collection demand, a pre-action letter or papers from a named court. Record who is making the claim and the country in which proceedings have been started. Do not assume that every EPC case follows the England and Wales County Court process.
For a UK private-parking dispute, the guides below explain debt letters and the England and Wales pre-action and court stages. They are not instructions for foreign proceedings or every toll scheme. Use the instructions on an actual court document and seek advice appropriate to that jurisdiction.
