Frequently asked questions
Is a Hozah Parking parking charge legally enforceable?▼
It depends. Hozah Parking 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. Some 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 Hozah Parking charge?▼
Ignoring a charge can lead to it being passed to a debt collection agency and, in some cases, a county court claim. Do not ignore a court claim, respond in time. We recommend getting a free scan first to understand your position before deciding whether to pay, appeal, or respond.
How long do I have to appeal a Hozah Parking charge?▼
Typically 28 days from the date of the notice for a first-stage appeal to Hozah Parking. 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 Hozah Parking take me to court?▼
Yes, in theory. 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.
