About Euro Car Parks
Euro Car Parks (ECP) is one of the largest private parking operators in the UK and Ireland, managing thousands of car parks at retail, leisure, and commercial sites. They use ANPR technology extensively and issue charges for overstaying, failing to register, or breaching site-specific terms.
Common Grounds for Appeal
- Failed to register vehicle: Many ECP sites require you to enter your registration at a terminal. If the machine was faulty or instructions unclear, this is valid grounds.
- ANPR misread: Cameras may capture incorrect plate details, especially for personalised or non-standard plates.
- Genuine customer: If you were a genuine customer entitled to free parking that wasn't properly applied.
- Short overstay: Challenge if the required grace period was not applied.
- Signage deficiencies: The requirement to register, time limits, and charges must all be clearly signposted.
Appeal Process
Submit your appeal to Euro Car Parks within 28 days with your PCN reference, grounds, and evidence. If rejected, escalate to POPLA or IAS depending on ECP's trade association membership.
Registration System Issues
ECP's requirement to register your number plate at a terminal is a common source of fines. If there were queues, the screen was hard to read, or you weren't aware due to poor signage, include this in your appeal with photos.
