This case concerns a Parking Charge Notice (private parking firm) issued by First Parking LLP, relating to an alleged contravention on Thursday, 19 February 2026. The notice itself is dated an unspecified date, and I first became aware of it via first aware via debt collector.
The notice appears to have been issued as By post (ANPR/camera). Driver identified status: UNSURE. Equality Act considerations: Unsure. The location is stated as Lancaster University.
A preliminary Protection of Freedoms Act (PoFA) assessment indicates PENDING: Enter the notice issue date to calculate deemed delivery and timing. Route applied: Not specified. The notice is treated as given on Not available.
Current stage:
- Notice responded to: No
- Debt recovery letters: Yes
- Letter of Claim: No
- County Court claim: No
Additional notes provided:
The car i was driving that day was a mobility car for my son, as my car was unavailable, I have been working on the university and paying parking daily but did forget to pay this day but don't remember getting any letters about it until getting a letter from DCBL Collection Bailiffs.
Please can I have advice on the strongest next steps and defence points for this case.
