UK parking charges · 2026

Don't pay that parking charge yet.

Four in five private tickets are paid without a fight. The 14-day “discount” is how the industry buys your panic. HoldOff tells you what you actually received, scores the grounds, and drafts the letter.

How it works

Three quiet steps.

  1. 01

    Name the thing

    Council PCN or private invoice. BPA or IPC. POPLA or IAS. The path splits here.

  2. 02

    Score the grounds

    Signage, grace periods, PoFA keeper liability, a dead machine. Strength, not vibes.

  3. 03

    Draft the letter

    A first-stage appeal you can send today. Optional tightening. Deadlines on the side.
