If you want to get a parking charge reminder cancelled, an appeal must be made on the legal and procedural grounds and not emotional appeals.

Was the Original PCN Lawfully Issued?

A parking charge must be lawfully issued for a reminder to be valid, why should you pay if the authority never issued a parking charge? If appeal is upheld, you win.

Did They Meet the POFA 2012 Deadline?

As the reminder is sent by the parking company, you can submit an appeal as if it was the initial parking charge notice. The discount will be re-offered on appeal.

Three Proven Routes to Get Your Reminder Cancelled

Here is how to get started with your parking charge reminder appeal, whether you want to appeal it yourself using our tools or ask us to handle the appeal for you.

Direct to Operator

Appeal documents must be prepared correctly, in the right format, and supported by appropriate evidence to be successful.

STEP 1

POPLA Appeal

The appeal is submitted to the parking operator. Many appeals fail due to incorrect wording, missing information, or common submission errors on online forms.

STEP 2

IAS Appeal

If the operator rejects the appeal, the case can be escalated to the independent tribunal correctly, as mistakes can invalidate legal arguments and weaken appeal.

Parking Reminder Notice: Your Questions Answered

So we can appeal a parking charge reminder and help you get it cancelled easily and quickly.

A Parking Charge Reminder Notice is a follow-up letter sent by a private parking company when an original Parking Charge Notice has not been paid or responded to. It is usually issued after the initial payment or appeal deadline has passed and often demands a higher amount.

In many cases, drivers receive a reminder notice without ever having seen the original Parking Charge Notice. This can happen due to postal delays, address issues, or administrative errors by the parking operator.

You should appeal a reminder notice if you did not receive the original Parking Charge Notice through no fault of your own.

The British Parking Association Code of Practice states at paragraph 10.2 that where a motorist provides evidence they were unaware of the parking charge for reasons beyond their control, the operator should offer the opportunity to appeal and or pay the charge at the original rate.

By appealing at this stage, you may be able to:

  • Have the charge reset to the lower amount

  • Restore your right to appeal

  • Prevent unnecessary escalation

You can appeal a Parking Charge Reminder Notice from £9.99, depending on how much support you want.

  • DIY Appeal from £9.99
    We assess your charge and provide a tailored appeal letter with full instructions so you can submit it yourself.

  • Appeal Representation from £29.99
    We review your case and handle the appeal for you, including operator and tribunal appeals where appropriate.

If you are unsure which option is right, start by checking your parking charge and we will guide you to the best option.

Many reminder notices can be successfully challenged due to procedural failures, including:

  • No evidence the original notice was served correctly

  • Incorrect or outdated address details

  • Failure to comply with BPA service requirements

  • Failure to offer appeal rights once non-receipt is established

If any of these apply, the parking company should allow an appeal or revert the charge to the original amount.

Paying a reminder notice immediately can remove your ability to challenge the charge or have it reduced.

If you did not receive the original Parking Charge Notice for a valid reason, you may still be entitled to appeal or pay at the lower rate. Once payment is made, parking companies are under no obligation to reopen the case.

Before paying, it is important to assess whether the reminder notice was issued fairly and in line with the BPA Code of Practice.
