Why would you get a One Parking Solutions fine?
One Parking Solution could issue you with a parking charge because you failed to follow their T&Cs. When you use a site managed by the operator, you’re supposed to familiarise yourself with their rules.
These rules must be clearly stated on signposts at a car park’s entrance. Not inside the car park, but at the entrance so you can choose whether to park there or not!
I’ve listed some of the most common reasons why you’d get a parking charge from One Parking Solution here:
- A failure to pay to park or display a ticket correctly
- Not parking correctly for example, over two bays, or in a bay reserved for the disabled, or families with children
You could find the parking charge stuck to your windscreen. But if there’s ANPR in operation, the fine could arrive in the post! Accredited car park management companies can get your details from the DVLA if you’re the registered keeper.
Can you appeal a One Parking Solution PCN?
Yes. You’ve got the right to appeal a One Parking Solution PCN. But you must appeal the charge within 28 days or you lose the right to dispute it. That said, it’s best to file your appeal earlier.
To clarify, when you appeal against a parking charge within two weeks (14 days) and the operator doesn’t accept it, you get to pay the discounted fine.
You must provide the following when you appeal the charge:
- Your vehicle registration number (VRN)
- The parking charge reference number
- The reason you think the fine should be cancelled
When you appeal against a parking charge, the operator must place everything on hold. So, they can’t chase you for payment until they decide whether to accept or reject your appeal.

How much would a One Parking Solution fine cost you?
One Parking Solution could charge you up to £100 for a parking infringement in one of their car parks! That said, when you pay the fine within 14 days, the operator must offer you a discounted rate.
In short, One Parking Solution should charge you 40% less than the original parking charge.
The government plans to place a cap on how much a private operator can charge you. But the cap won’t come into effect until 2023!
What to include in your parking appeal
The form asks for contact details to deliver your free MoneyNerd template.
Include the notice reference, your reasons, supporting evidence and the action you want the issuer to take.
The correct process depends on the notice and where it was issued.

Do you have to pay One Parking Solution?
If One Parking Solution is justified in issuing you with a parking fine and the operator serves the fine correctly, you should pay the parking charge. Moreover, if you pay within two weeks, you’d get to pay the discounted fine. This is 40% less than the original amount!
But only pay the parking charge when you’re satisfied that:
- You deserve the parking charge
- The operator issued the fine according to the BPA’s code of practice
- You were given a grace period before the fine was issued
- You parked correctly and paid the right fee but still got a parking charge
- You were not the registered keeper when the parking charge was issued
- The parking charge arrived in the post within the 14-day deadline
What happens after you appeal a One Parking Solution fine?
The operator should respond within 56 days of receiving your appeal with a decision. The parking charge is cancelled if One Parking Solution accepts your appeal.
But if the operator rejects your appeal, you’ll get a letter of rejection explaining what to do next! You’ll have two choices which are to:
- Pay the parking charge in full which is the original amount
- Escalate your appeal to the Parking on Private Land Appeals service (POPLA)
The operator must provide information on the deadline to pay a fine once your appeal is rejected. Plus, One Parking Solution must explain how to escalate your appeal to POPLA which is a free service.
Moreover, the operator must keep things on hold until POPLA makes a decision. So, you gain time by escalating your appeal. But make sure you have enough proof to back up your appeal!
POPLA’s decision is final so if they accept your appeal, the operator must cancel the parking charge. But if the appeals service sides with One Parking Solution, you’ll have to pay the parking charge!

Should you ignore a One Parking Solution fine?
No. Don’t ignore a fine on private land because it could land you in hot water. You could end up with a County Court Judgement (CCJ) registered on your credit file.
