Avoiding fines

Here are some tips to help you avoid receiving a fine:

Restrictions

Some local councils expanded the number of roads that have parking restrictions in place. Check whether new restrictions are in place before parking.

Display

Make sure any parking permits, payment tickets or Blue badges are clearly displayed.

Update Details

Keep your registration number and payment details up-to-date and double-check they are correct on any Auto Pay apps or accounts. For example, make sure you are using ‘0’ instead of ‘O.

Waiting Times

Be vigilant and check for any signage about parking restrictions, and make sure you pay the appropriate fee and check the wait times.

Parking Apps

Make use of the Parking App reminders, allowing you to return on time and giving you the option to extend if you’re running late.

Safeguard

If you break down, keep all your paperwork safe just in case you need it for a future appeal.

Auto Pay

Ensure that if you regularly enter congestion zones or use toll roads that any Auto Pay accounts are set up for your vehicle(s) and sufficient credit is in those accounts for your necessary journeys.

Frequently Asked Questions

The fine notification you have received outlines how we will process the fine on your behalf – no immediate action is necessary. If you need further guidance, please get in touch using our webform below.

Alphabet will not appeal this directly on your behalf. Please refer back to the notice which will outline the appeals procedure with the given issuing authority.

 

Appeals can still be made with the issuing authority, at their discretion, providing the grounds for the appeal are sufficient.

 

When Alphabet actions a fine notice, either paying it or transferring liability, this incurs an administration fee (if applicable). The administration fee is £14.40 including VAT.

 

We will raise an invoice in order to recharge the amount to your vehicles account and notify you of the direct debit payment date.

 

Further photo or video evidence can often be viewed by visiting the fine issuing authority website. You would need to enter the vehicle registration and fine reference number in order to access this.

 

If your appeal is successful, please request written confirmation of the cancellation from the Issuing Authority directly, in the form of an email or letter, and send this over to our Vehicle Admin team.

 

If the fine is paid by Alphabet the issuing authority will process a refund back to Alphabet, which will be raised back to you once received. The refunded cost will include any relevant administration fees.

We will pay and recharge fines in instances where the issuing authority does not accept a transfer of liability or where specific fine rules have been set up by yourself or your employer requesting us to do so.
