Can I ignore G10 Security Ticket?

Since 2012, the law Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 was introduced to help both drivers and parking companies when it comes to dealing with parking tickets.

For drivers, this law made clamping illegal, and introduced requirements that G10 Security must follow in order to make the vehicle keeper liable for a parking charge if the driver is not known.

This is still the most powerful tool today to challenge parking tickets because the law clearly explains the requirements that G10 Security must meet to transfer liability.

However, the same law allows G10 Security to transfer liability to the registered keeper, so if you ignore the parking charge, G10 Security can use it to make the keeper liable.

Received A G10 Security Reminder Letter ?

If G10 Security issue a reminder letter while the appeal is in progress, then you can simply wait for the appeal process to finish before you take any action.

If the reminder letter comes out of the blue without a parking charge being issued, then you could be entitled to make a complaint about not receiving parking charge notice.

Ticket has progressed to a receive a reminder notice, you may have an opportunity to challenge the parking charge notice or you may have an opportunity to negotiate a lower rate for your parking charge.

International Parking Community rules say that a final reminder can only be issued after a parking charge notice is sent. If not, you may be able to complain about the unfair enforcement.

If a reminder is sent during the appeal process, for example within 28 days after the parking charge was issued, you can still appeal it as if it was the parking charge notice and put your case forward to why you object the parking charge notice.

G10 Security Debt Recovery Letter ?

If G10 Security send you a debt recovery letter, you can read our guide to understand your options at this stage. Our general advice is to ignore debt recovery letters, because the purpose of the debt recovery process is to either make you give up additional information or to make you pay. Regardless of what they say, it is rare that they cancel a parking charge notice at this stage, because debt recovery companies work on a no win no fee agreement with the parking company to recover the debt or there is no fee. You may receive a debt recovery letter from G10 Security or one of the companies listed below:

BW Legal
CST Law

Getting G10 Security CCJ removed ?

Yes, if the CCJ is not issued correctly, for example, the claim is sent to your old address, then you can apply to have the CCJ to be set aside and if successful, you will have an opportunity to defend the court claim.

Parking companies often omit this information that you can get a CCJ removed or have it set aside in certain situations. In fact, as part of the process to challenge a CCJ, if you and the parking company agree that a claim was issued to an old address or you agree to pay the amount, then a CCJ can be removed if both parties “consent” or agree to have it removed.

Most people think that they will receive a CCJ if they don’t respond to parking tickets, however this only happens if you ignore a County Court claim and do not defend yourself.

How do I pay G10 Security ticket?

The choice is yours whether you want to pay the parking charge or to challenge it to get it cancelled.

However, the smart thing to do would be to appeal the parking charge and then if the appeal is rejected you can decide to pay it.

The reason for this is that once you appeal the G10 Security ticket, the amount will be frozen at the amount when you appeal and therefore you have nothing to lose.

However, to pay a G10 Security ticket

Go to www.g10security.co.uk or check your parking charge
Pay the parking charge online using a card or debit card
You will receive confirmation and the parking charge will be closed.

Once you pay your parking charge, it will be marked as closed and you cannot appeal it afterwards.

Are G10 Security tickets enforceable?

The answer is no. G10 Security tickets are invoices issued for breach of contract, what this means is that when you receive the parking charge notice, you have an opportunity to engage with G10 Security and challenge whether that parking charge notice was issued correctly or not.

If G10 Security issued the parking charge correctly, they still have to take the case to court before they can enforce it.

If G10 Security don’t comply with the law, they could put themselves in a difficult situation where they commit fraud under Fraud Act 2006 or if they lose a court case, they will have to pay compensation if they have been unreasonable.

So, parking charge notices can only be a nuisance if you ignore court proceedings and you do not respond. Otherwise, many claims can successfully be defended in court.

G10 Security Ticket in Scotland and Northern Ireland

The rules regarding G10 Security tickets in Scotland and Northern Ireland are slightly different from those in the rest of the UK, as the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 does not apply in these two countries.

This means that G10 Security will attempt to identify the driver of the vehicle in order to hold them liable for the parking charge.

However, if it is not possible to do so, then G10 Security may be committing fraud if they attempt to transfer liability to the registered keeper without any legitimate cause to do so.

But due to the lack of knowledge around the relevant laws and regulations, many people are unable to hold G10 Security to account.

That is why the Data Protection Act 2018 was introduced to protect the private information of those involved, as well as to protect individuals from unfair enforcement. It also provides them with a greater ability to claim compensation from G10 Security when appropriate.

You may have read recently that Nigel Farage was able to hold Coutts Bank accountable after requesting a copy of his information from the bank, and discovering that they had collected information about his political views which had nothing to do with account.

Similarly, residents of Scotland and Northern Ireland who never provided driver details, can make a subject access request to find out if the parking company have processed their keeper information without legitimate reason to do so.

In this situation, they can then make a claim for Breach of Data Protection Act 2018 and the compensation could be up to £750 for single cases.

G10 Security Reviews

If you look at reviews on Trust Pilot, you will find that many of the reviews are negative and at least 1 star. The reason for this is because many people are frustrated that parking charges are often issued unfairly, leading them to pay parking charge notices out of fear of the amount increasing.

However, if you believe that your parking charge notice has been issued correctly, you should still challenge it. This is the only way to ensure that you are not treated unfairly, which is why we have created our website to help those who have received a parking ticket, court claim, or CCJ to easily and confidently challenge the charges.
