Laws that protect you

Protection of Freedoms Act 2012

Regulates private parking charges and keeper liability on private land.

Schedule 4

BPA / IPC Code of Practice

Private parking operators must follow their trade association’s code of practice.

Tips for CP Plus complaints

  • Private parking charges are invoices, not fines - only councils can issue fines
  • Always photograph signs, your ticket, and the payment machine when parking
  • Appeal to the operator first, then to POPLA (BPA members) or IAS (IPC members)
  • Around 42% of POPLA appeals are upheld - it’s worth appealing
  • Check if the operator is a member of the BPA or IPC before paying
