Validate Digi-sign Parking Ticket For Free

Though private companies don't have the law on their side to enforce their parking restrictions, they do have the same legal rights as we all have to pursue money we're owed. That means that, if you ignore your parking ticket, they can take you to court. It'll probably be the small claims court, though.

Whether you have to pay a parking fine will depend on who it was issued by. If the fine was issued by the police or council workers, known as a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN), you can't ignore it. This is because they're backed by the law and if you ignore this for too long, you could get summoned to court.

I had a parking ticket from a private parking company (didn't pay for a privately owned surface lot) and now they sent the ticket to debt collections. I received a written notice of the debt and I paid it off within 30 days of receiving this notice.

Penalty charge notice ( PCN ) As well as for parking, you can get a PCN for: breaking some traffic rules, for example going against a 'no right turn' sign or driving in a bus lane.

By law, a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) or Excess Charge Notice (ECN) from the council ? issued on public land, such as a high street ? must be cancelled if you didn't break the parking rules. You can check these rules on GOV.UK or on signs near where you parked.
