What is Myparkingcharge.co.uk?
Clients who have their car parks managed by the operator use the Excel Parking website, but myparkingcharge.co.uk is the portal for motorists to use when paying or appealing an Excel parking fine.
Should you pay an Excel Parking Services fine?
You could pay an Excel Parking Services fine straight away, which is an advantage because you pay a lesser fine. But first, make sure the parking charge notice is yours. Also, check the parking ticket was served correctly.
Once you’re satisfied the fine is yours, and the details are correct; paying it within two weeks means the operator could charge you up to 40% less!
How much does a myparkingcharge fine cost?
Excel could charge you up to £100, although the Government plans to put a cap on the amount sometime in 2023. There was a cap, but this was placed on hold a few months ago.
That said, a parking charge notice issued in London is always more expensive than in other parts of the country.
When you pay within two weeks, the operator should discount the amount by up to 40%!

How do you pay an Excel parking charge?
How you pay an Excel parking charge is where it gets a bit confusing. You don’t visit the Excel website to pay the fine. Instead, you must click on the myparkingcharge.co.uk site, which is dedicated only to payments (and appeals)!
You must provide the following information when paying an Excel parking charge:
- The parking charge reference number or vehicle registration number (VRN)
- Payment method
You could also pay an Excel parking charge by calling the automated payment line, 0845 226 9138.
How do you appeal a myparkingcharge fine?
Again, you must visit the myparkingcharge website to appeal an Excel parking charge. Plus, you must file your appeal within 28 days. You can also view the evidence against you on the website.
Make sure you provide a valid excuse for disputing the parking charge because the operator will reject your appeal without proof. Excel typically responds to appeals against parking charges within 56 days.

What happens if Excel rejects my appeal against a parking charge?
The operator sends you a letter of rejection which must include information on how to pay the fine or escalate your appeal. In short, you don’t have to pay the parking charge because you can file an appeal to an independent tribunal. The service is free of charge!
Excel is a British Parking Association (BPA) member and, therefore, with the Accredited Trade Association (ATA). So, you’ll file your appeal with Parking on Private Land Appeals.
Everything remains on hold while the tribunal considers your appeal. The tribunal’s decision is final whether they side with you or the operator! In short, if the operator upholds your appeal, the parking charge is cancelled.
But if they agree with Excel, you’ll have to pay!
