Common questions about parking ticket appeals and how Parking Mate AI works.
A Parking Charge parking charge notice appeal is a formal challenge to a parking charge issued by Parking Charge. You have the right to appeal if you believe the ticket was issued incorrectly, the signage was inadequate, or Parking Charge failed to follow proper procedure.

Parking Mate AI checks your Parking Charge parking charge notice appeal for signage adequacy, POFA 14-day notice to keeper compliance, and charge amounts against the BPA code of practice cap.

Also save screenshots of correspondence with Parking Charge 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, Parking Charge must serve a notice to keeper within 14 days of the parking event or of obtaining keeper details from the DVLA. If Parking Charge missed this deadline, the parking charge notice appeal 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.
If you do not submit your Parking Charge appeal before the deadline, you lose the right to a free independent review through POPLA. Parking Charge may then pursue the charge through debt collectors and eventually the courts.
