Was the first letter from NPE £100?

No original notice. No early payment option. Just the expensive reminder.

If that's what happened to you, we're collecting cases.

Here's What Happened

You parked somewhere.

Weeks went by. Nothing.

Then a letter arrived. £100 charge from National Parking Enforcement.

It said "REMINDER."

But you never got the first one.

Sound familiar?

The Problem

Under UK parking law, you're supposed to get a Notice to Keeper within 14 days. That notice includes an early payment option (usually around £60).

Ignore it, and the price goes up.

But what if that notice never arrived?

What if the first letter you actually received was the £100 "reminder"?

Most people assume it got lost in the post. Pay up. Move on.

We're asking a different question:

What if it was never sent at all?

What We're Building

Real cases. Real dates. Real evidence.

If this is happening to dozens of motorists, it's data.

If it's happening to hundreds, it's a pattern.

Right now, we're collecting documented cases from anyone who received a £100 reminder from NPE as their first letter.

Simple 60-second form. Your PCN details. What arrived when.

Who's Running This

Independent researcher.

I received two parking charge notices from NPE. Both times, the first letter I saw was the £100 reminder. No original Notice to Keeper.

I challenged them. They dropped a third PCN when they couldn't produce proof of postage for the original notice.

This isn't a legal service. It's not a business. It's evidence collection.

If NPE is systematically skipping the discounted notice and sending only the expensive reminder, motorists deserve to know.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a legal service?

No. This is independent consumer research. I'm not a solicitor. If you need legal advice about your PCN, consult a qualified professional.

Will this cancel my charge?

No. But if we document a clear pattern, it may provide evidence for your individual challenge.

What happens to the data?

Once we reach 100+ verified cases, we'll publish aggregated findings (anonymised). Anyone who left their email gets the report.

Can NPE see my submission?

No. Your individual case data is private. Only anonymised statistics will be made public.

How long is this open?

Maximum 3 months. We close when we reach 1,000 cases or when we hit the deadline, whichever comes first.

What if I made a mistake in my submission?

Email [contact] with your PCN reference. We can update or remove your entry.

Can I share this page?

Yes. The more documented cases, the stronger the evidence becomes.
