Dear Sir or Madam,
I write to formally appeal Parking Charge Notice AB12345678, issued on 15 April 2026 at Westfield Shopping Centre, London W12. I submit that this charge has been issued in error and request that it be cancelled for the following reasons.
Ground 1 — Inadequate Signage (BPA Code of Practice, para 17.3)
The British Parking Association Code of Practice (January 2024), paragraph 17.3, requires that signage must be "prominently displayed at each entrance to the car park and at regular intervals throughout." I attended the site on 18 April 2026 and observed that the signage at the north vehicle entrance was substantially obscured by overgrown foliage, rendering the terms and conditions not reasonably visible to motorists entering from that direction. I attach photographic evidence of the obscured signage taken on 18 April 2026.
[Letter continues with further grounds and closing...]
Why people trust us
We tell you when NOT to fight
If your ticket is valid, we say so. We never charge for bad news. That honesty is what makes us different.
Built on real decisions
Our defense library is built from POPLA decisions, the BPA Code of Practice, POFA 2012, TMA 2004, and real case law.
Technical, not generic
We don't write “please cancel my ticket” letters. We cite specific legislation, code sections, and operator-specific weaknesses.
Not a robot lawyer
We're a strategist, not a solicitor. We draft your appeal and show you exactly how to file it. You decide whether to proceed.

Not just parking
ClearTicket started with parking tickets because that's where the system is most broken — millions of tickets, most people pay without checking, and the appeals process is deliberately confusing. But the same pattern applies everywhere consumers get fined, charged, or ignored. We're building a platform for UK consumer rights: honest odds, expert drafting, and the confidence to know when to fight.
