Frequently asked questions
Is a Excel Parking Services parking charge legally enforceable?▼
It depends. Excel Parking Services is a private company — their charges are contractual, not criminal fines. They can only pursue the registered keeper under POFA 2012 if strict conditions are met. Many charges have signage, timing, or procedural defects that make them unenforceable. A free scan will tell you whether yours does.
What happens if I ignore a Excel Parking Services charge?▼
Ignoring a charge can lead to it being passed to a debt collection agency and, in some cases, a county court claim. However, many charges are dropped at the debt agency stage when challenged. Do not ignore a court claim — respond in time. We recommend getting a free scan first to understand your position.
How long do I have to appeal a Excel Parking Services charge?▼
Typically 28 days from the date of the notice for a first-stage appeal to Excel Parking Services. If they reject it, you usually have 28 days to appeal to IAS. Check your notice for the exact deadlines — they are time-critical.
Can Excel Parking Services take me to court?▼
Yes, in theory. In practice, most private parking charges do not reach court, especially where there are clear legal defects. If you receive a Letter Before Claim from a solicitor (such as BW Legal or Gladstones), you should respond promptly. We offer a Letter Before Claim response pack for that stage.
