View payment helpWhen can a MJB Security Services parking charge be cancelled?
You should appeal if the charge was not issued correctly, the evidence is weak, the driver complied with the terms, or the notice fails the rules private parking operators must follow.
The signs were unclear or not visible
A parking charge can be challenged if the terms were hidden, poorly lit, too small, confusing, or not clearly displayed before the driver parked.
The notice does not meet POFA 2012 requirements
If the operator wants to hold the registered keeper liable, the notice must meet strict wording and timing rules under POFA 2012.
You paid or tried to pay
Payment receipts, app records, machine faults, keying errors, or failed payment attempts can all support an appeal if the charge was issued unfairly.
The timing or ANPR evidence is wrong
Entry and exit camera times do not always prove the actual parked period. Grace periods, queuing, searching for a space, and camera errors can matter.
You were authorised or exempt
Customer validation, staff permission, Blue Badge terms, permits, loading, breakdowns, or site exemptions may give you grounds to challenge the charge.
The operator has not proved its authority
Private parking companies must normally show they have authority from the landowner to issue and pursue parking charges at that location.

MJB Security Services Parking Charge Notice FAQs
Common questions about parking ticket appeals and how Parking Mate UK works.
What is a MJB Security Services parking charge notice and why have I received one?
A MJB Security Services parking charge notice is a demand for payment issued by MJB Security Services for an alleged parking contravention. You have received one because MJB Security Services's enforcement system has flagged your vehicle. It does not automatically mean you must pay. Many MJB Security Services tickets contain defects worth checking.
How long do I have to check a MJB Security Services parking charge notice?
You typically have 28 days to appeal a MJB Security Services parking charge notice directly to the operator. If rejected, you can then escalate to POPLA. The earlier you check for defects, the more options you have.
Can I check a MJB Security Services parking charge notice myself?
Yes. You have the right to check a MJB Security Services parking charge notice. A properly structured document citing specific defects is far more effective than a generic complaint. Parking Mate UK helps you identify those defects.
What defects does Parking Mate UK check on a MJB Security Services parking charge notice?
Parking Mate UK checks your MJB Security Services parking charge notice for signage adequacy, POFA 14-day notice to keeper compliance, and charge amounts against the BPA code of practice cap. It also checks for required information on the notice and whether MJB Security Services followed the correct procedure. The specific checks depend on the notice stage.
Should I pay a MJB Security Services parking charge notice straight away?
Not until you have checked whether the MJB Security Services parking charge notice is valid. Many MJB Security Services tickets contain defects in signage, timing, wording, or procedure. Checking before you pay costs nothing and may save you the full charge.
What evidence should I keep for a MJB Security Services parking charge notice?
Keep the MJB Security Services parking charge notice itself, all earlier notices and letters, and any photographs of the car park signage. Also save screenshots of correspondence with MJB Security Services and a written note of key dates. The more evidence you preserve early on, the stronger your position if the case escalates.
What is the POFA 14-day rule and how does it affect my MJB Security Services parking charge notice?
Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, MJB Security Services must serve a notice to keeper within 14 days of the parking event or of obtaining keeper details from the DVLA. If MJB Security Services missed this deadline, the parking charge notice may only be enforceable against the driver, not the registered keeper. This is one of the most common defects and one of the most effective appeal grounds.
What happens if I ignore a MJB Security Services parking charge notice?
Ignoring a MJB Security Services parking charge notice usually leads to escalation. MJB Security Services will typically send reminders, pass the debt to a collection agency, and may eventually file a county court claim. Responding early keeps more options open.
