Challenging a Private Parking Charge Notice

If you have received a parking charge notice from a private parking company, it is important to understand that this is not the same as a council issued penalty charge. These notices are issued by private firms managing car parks for supermarkets, retail parks, hospitals, and residential developments.

Private parking charges are often disputed due to unclear signage, incorrect vehicle details, faulty payment systems, overstays caused by delays, or lack of authority to issue the charge. Many drivers are unsure how to respond or worry about saying the wrong thing.

This service helps you respond clearly and in writing.

You explain what happened, where the vehicle was parked, and why you believe the charge is incorrect or unfair. RespondRight prepares a structured appeal letter that sets out your position clearly and avoids unnecessary admissions.

When this service is suitable

This letter is suitable if:

• You received a private parking charge you believe is incorrect
• Payment was made but not recognised
• Signage was unclear, missing, or misleading
• The charge amount is excessive or unreasonable
• You are unsure how to challenge the notice safely

What you receive

You receive one professionally written private parking appeal letter, tailored to your situation and delivered by email. The letter is ready to copy, send, or submit through the parking company’s appeal process.
