Got a G24 ticket? Check it for defects

You can appeal a G24 parking ticket directly to G24 within 28 days of the notice date. G24 is a member of the International Parking Community (IPC). If they reject your appeal, you can escalate to IAS for a free, independent review. A well-structured appeal citing specific defects is far more effective than a general complaint.

Yes. G24 can file a county court claim to recover the amount on a parking charge notice. However, they must prove their case, including that signage was adequate, the charge is reasonable, and they followed proper procedure. Many private parking court claims contain weaknesses that can form the basis of a successful defence.

G24 is a member of the IPC (International Parking Community). This means G24 must follow the IPC code of practice. If they reject your appeal, you can escalate to IAS for an independent review. The IAS's decision is binding on G24 but not on you.

Common defects on G24 parking tickets include inadequate or poorly positioned signage at the car park and failure to serve the notice to keeper within the 14-day POFA deadline. Charges exceeding the IPC code of practice cap and missing required information such as appeal rights are also frequent issues. The specific defects vary by site, which is why a site-specific check matters.

Ignoring a G24 parking charge is not recommended. While some operators do not pursue cases to court, ignoring the notice removes your opportunity to appeal to G24 directly and then to IAS. The safer approach is to check whether your G24 ticket has defects and respond properly.

Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, G24 must serve a notice to keeper within 14 days of obtaining the keeper's details from the DVLA. If the driver's details are already known, the 14-day clock starts from the parking event itself. If G24 misses this deadline, they may not be able to hold the registered keeper liable for the charge.

If G24 rejects your appeal, you can escalate to IAS within 21 days of the rejection. IAS is free to use and provides an independent review. If IAS finds in your favour, G24 must cancel the charge. If IAS upholds the charge, you can still defend any future court claim.

G24's charges are capped by the IPC code of practice. The IPC code sets caps of £60 for shorter overstays and up to £100 for other breaches. If the amount on your G24 ticket exceeds the applicable cap, that itself may be a ground for challenge. Parking Mate AI checks whether the charge on your notice is within the permitted limits.

G24 typically manages car parks at private car parks and commercial sites. Private parking enforcement operator. Regardless of the specific site, G24 must meet the same signage, timing, and procedural standards at every location.

Upload a photo of your G24 ticket and Parking Mate AI identifies G24 as the operator and applies G24-specific checks. This includes IPC code compliance, POFA timing rules, signage requirements, and charge amount limits. The result is a defect report and, if grounds are found, a professional appeal letter targeting the issues specific to your G24 notice.
