Excellent, If the operator has rejected your appeal, you have two options.

Option 1: Write an appeal letter and build a very strong case to win your appeal
Option 2: If you are within your discount period, pay the lower amount instead

If you are not within the discount period, we recommend writing an appeal and sending it to the tribunal because you have nothing to lose.
See Trustpilot Reviews!

Choose "Appeal Yourself" to proceed with Option 1.
Because your appeal has been rejected at the tribunal, you can no longer appeal the matter and you should either:
1. "Pay the operator" to avoid further debt recovery charges.
2. "Complain" to the land owner if you were a customer
If you ignore the parking ticket, it will go to various debt recovery companies who will add further costs and you will have to defend the matter in court
Parking Mate UK highly recommend paying the operator directly so the amount doesn't increase in future.
If you have received a reminder, you can either pay the parking ticket or you may be able to send an appeal. If you can't appeal the ticket, your options are either:
1. "Pay the operator" to avoid further debt recovery charges.
2. "Complain" to the land owner if you were a customer
If you ignore the parking ticket, it will go to various debt recovery companies who will add further costs and you will have to defend the matter in court
Parking Mate UK highly recommend paying the operator directly so the amount doesn't increase in future.
A Debt Recovery Letter means that you are no longer able to appeal or challenge the original parking ticket.
We recommend paying the parking operator directly to avoid the case going to court.
Please read our Debt Recovery Advice which explains your options at this stage.
If you have received a County Court Claim, you need to:
1. Acknowledge the claim
2. Write a good defence to get the claim dismissed.
If you don't defend the claim, the court will issue a judgement against you.
We can provide a defence instantly for £19.99 including instructions on how to manage the court case from start to finish.
Alternatively, you can pay the amount to the company and the case will be withdrawn from court.
If you have received a CCJ, it means the court has made a judgement on a court claim from a parking company. You have two options at this stage.
1. Option 1, if the CCJ was issued within the last 30 days, pay the parking company & provide proof to the court, the CCJ will be removed from your credit file.
2. Option 2, you can apply for a CCJ set aside to restart the court case and remove the CCJ from your file.
All the options above are designed to help you get the CCJ removed from your account. Please read Debt Camel CCJ Advice on paying a CCJ

If your appeal has been rejected at the tribunal, you can no longer appeal. We recommend you pay the Penalty Charge Notice within 28 days so the amount does not increase any further.
1. Choose "Pay Council" to see how to make your payment.
Please Remember: The tribunal acts as the last appeal stage for penalty charge notices and enforcement will continue unless you settle the case. This advice only applies to appeals which have been rejected at the tribunal.
If you have received a Charge Certificate, we can help you challenge it or negotiate a lower rate with the council.
1. Option 1: If you appealed your ticket but didn't get a response, the charge certificate invalidates the appeal and the PCN must be cancelled
2. Option 2: If you did not appeal your PCN, you can ask the council to reduce the amount so you can pay the lower amount.
3. Option 3: If this is the first time you are becoming aware of the PCN, it can be cancelled! You can either use our app to write your letter for the council or wait for Order for Recovery
4. Option 4: If your appeal was rejected by the council, send it to the tribunal, this cancels the Charge Certificate
Please read our guide on Dealing with a Charge Certificate to see how to challenge your Charge Certificate.
If you have received an Order for Recovery, you have to either:
1. Write to the TEC to make a statutory declaration.
2. Make payment directly to the council and the Order for Recovery will be cancelled.
You never have to pay the bailiff a penny, once you pay the council, the debt is settled!
1. Option 1: If you appealed your ticket but didn't get a response, the charge certificate invalidates the appeal and the PCN must be cancelled
2. Option 2: If you did not appeal your PCN, you can ask the council to reduce the amount so you can pay the lower amount.
3. Option 3: If this is the first time you are becoming aware of the PCN, you can either write to the council or wait for Order for Recovery
Please read our guide on Dealing with a Order for Recovery to see all your options in detail.
Don't stress, a parking fine at bailiff stage can still be paid directly to the council or you can appeal the order for recovery itself. There is no need to pay bailiffs a penny unless your car has been clamped or recovered. We recommend the following:
1. Write to the TEC to make a statutory declaration
2. You can "Pay the Council" directly, enforcement ceases when the council is paid by cheque or post and they have to close the case
3. Last Option: You can Pay the Bailiff for the amount outstanding and the matter will be closed
Please read our guide on Dealing with Bailiffs to see all your options in detail.

If the bailiff is demanding £323 but the council is owed £203, you should send a cheque or postal order directly to the council for £203 and save on bailiff fees! Ignore whatever the bailiff says!
