Got a Green Parking reminder notice? The same defects still apply

A Green Parking reminder notice is a follow-up letter from Green Parking chasing payment for an earlier parking charge. It does not create any new legal obligation. The same defects that existed on the original notice still apply, and you should check for them before the charge increases.

A Green Parking reminder notice usually gives you a further 14 to 28 days before the charge increases or the case is referred for debt recovery. Check the original notice for defects before the window closes.

Yes. You have the right to challenge a Green Parking reminder notice. A properly structured challenge citing specific defects is far more effective than a generic complaint. Parking Mate AI helps you identify those defects.

Parking Mate AI checks your Green Parking reminder 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 Green Parking followed the correct procedure. The specific checks depend on the notice stage.

Not until you have checked whether the original Green Parking parking charge is valid. The Green Parking reminder notice does not create any new obligation. If the original notice had defects, those defects still apply.

Keep the Green Parking reminder notice itself, all earlier notices and letters, and any photographs of the car park signage. Also save screenshots of correspondence with Green Parking and a written note of key dates. The more evidence you preserve early on, the stronger your position if the case escalates.

Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, Green Parking must serve a notice to keeper within 14 days of the parking event or of obtaining keeper details from the DVLA. If Green Parking missed this deadline, the reminder 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 grounds for challenge.

Ignoring a Green Parking reminder notice usually leads to the charge increasing and the case being passed to a debt collector. Eventually Green Parking may file a county court claim. Checking for defects at this stage is quicker and cheaper than dealing with court later.

Each operator has its own patterns of enforcement and common defects. Green Parking is a BPA member, and commonly operates at private car parks and commercial sites. Parking Mate AI applies Green Parking-specific checks so the defect report is tailored to how Green Parking operates.
