This case concerns a Parking Charge Notice (private parking firm) issued by National Parking Control Group Ltd, relating to an alleged contravention on Friday, 17 April 2026. The notice itself is dated Friday, 17 April 2026, and I first became aware of it via received initial notice.
The notice appears to have been issued as On vehicle (windscreen ticket only). Driver identified status: NO. Equality Act considerations: No. The location is stated as The Foundry, Chichester.
A preliminary Protection of Freedoms Act (PoFA) assessment indicates WAITING: This is still pre-NtK under PoFA paragraph 8. Wait for a postal NtK. Route applied: Pre-NtK stage after windscreen NtD. The notice is treated as given on Not available (1 days after the alleged event).
Current stage:
- Notice responded to: No
- Debt recovery letters: No
- Letter of Claim: No
- County Court claim: No
Additional notes provided:
I put my reg in the system in the pub and it said it was valid until 07:00. No AM or PM listed so I assumed the parking is 24hrs but it was 12hrs. The length of time wasn’t listed anywhere. I have attached an image of an example of how the time is formatted on the iPad.
I was a paying customer at the pub but just misunderstood the parking system.
Please can I have advice on the strongest next steps and defence points for this case.
