Frequently asked questions
Is a Group Nexus (CP Plus) parking charge legally enforceable?▼
It depends. Group Nexus is a private company, so its charges are contractual, not criminal fines. It can only pursue the registered keeper under POFA 2012 if strict conditions are met. Some charges have signage, timing, or procedural defects; many are valid. A free scan tells you which applies to yours.
What happens if I ignore a Group Nexus charge?▼
It can be passed to a debt collector and, in some cases, to a county court claim. Never ignore a Letter Before Claim or a court claim. Get a free scan first so you know whether to pay, appeal, or respond.
How long do I have to appeal a Group Nexus charge?▼
Usually 28 days from the date of the notice for a first appeal to Group Nexus. If it is rejected, you usually have 28 days to appeal to POPLA. Check your notice for the exact dates.
Can Group Nexus take me to court?▼
Yes. If a solicitor (such as BW Legal or Gladstones) sends you a Letter Before Claim, respond within its deadline. We offer a Letter Before Claim response pack for that stage.
