Should I pay Local Parking Security Ltd?

Before paying, I suggest you check all the details on the LPS Parking Charge Notice.

Plus, you should make sure the operator allowed you the mandatory grace period before they issued the PCN.

Once you’re satisfied the ticket was correctly issued and contains the right information, you can decide to pay it.

Preferably within 14 days because an operator must reduce the amount by at least 40%.

How do I pay a Local Parking Security Ltd Parking Charge Notice?

There are various options to pay a Local Parking Security Ltd PCN, which I’ve outlined in the table below.

How do I appeal a Local Parking Security Ltd fine?

You can appeal a Local Parking Security Ltd PCN if you think you have grounds to have the ticket cancelled.

What happens if Local Parking Security Ltd rejects my appeal?

You will receive a Letter of Rejection if the operator doesn’t accept your reasons for having a Parking Charge Notice cancelled.

The letter should contain details on how to escalate your appeal to the Parking on Private Land Appeals service (POPLA).

It allows you to question the operator’s decision to reject your initial appeal.

POPLA will assess your case within 6 to 8 weeks and decide whether to uphold or reject your appeal.

It’s worth noting that a POPLA decision is final.

What happens if I ignore a Local Parking Security Ltd PCN?

The operator could give your details to a debt collection agency when you ignore a Parking Charge Notice.

However, before that happens, Local Parking Security will send you plenty of payment reminders if you’re the registered keeper.

LPS retrieves a registered keeper’s details from the DVLA because they are BPA members.

If you continue to ignore payment demands, a debt collector could be instructed to recover what’s owed.

Local Parking Security Ltd could start legal proceedings if the debt collector can’t get you to pay.

Ignoring letters from a court could result in a default notice being recorded, which will appear on your credit file.

This will result in a CCJ, which must be settled within 30 days. Otherwise, the record stays on your credit history for six years.

Will Local Parking Security Ltd take me to court?

Yes. There’s always a chance that Local Parking Security Ltd will take you to court over an unpaid parking ticket.

However, as previously mentioned, they will likely pass your details to a debt collection agency before the operator does this.

The debt collector will attempt to get you to pay by contacting you in several ways.

This includes visiting your home.

However, debt collectors have the same powers as the operator.

They can only:

·         Telephone you, or

·         Contact you in other ways

They cannot demand that you pay although their approach is often intimidating.

If the debt collector fails to recover the outstanding amount, the operator could start legal proceedings against you.

I suggest you stay in touch with Local Parking Security Ltd before things escalate.

You should either appeal the charge or pay it, but you shouldn’t ignore it because you risk having to deal with a debt collection agency.

Or worse still, you could receive a court summons.

What happens if the case goes to court?

You will receive a Letter Before Action (LBA) if Local Parking Security Ltd takes you to court over an unpaid parking fine.

It gives you one last chance to settle the Parking Charge Notice.

When you don’t respond or pay, you’ll receive a court summons, which you must respond to.

If you don’t attend the court hearing, a default is automatically registered against you.

You’ll receive a County Court Judgement (CCJ), which must be settled in 30 days, or it remains on your credit history for six years.

Having a CCJ on your credit file will make it hard to get any sort of finance until it expires.
