Stop Abusive Private Parking Companies – Regulate or Remove Them Now


Stop Abusive Private Parking Companies – Regulate or Remove Them Now
The Issue
We, the people, demand immediate action against the aggressive and unregulated private parking companies operating across the UK.
Through personal experience and growing public outcry, it is clear that many of these companies such as UK Car Park Management Ltd (UKCPM) are using the court system as a weapon, accessing personal data without scrutiny, and issuing exaggerated fines for minor or questionable infractions.
They operate in housing estates, hospitals, retail parks, and even residential bays, often with no clear signs, no proven landowner authority, and no fair appeal system.
These companies are:
1) Exploiting DVLA data access to track down vehicle owners
2) Sending letters with automated “Final Warnings” at 4:00 AM
3) Ignoring tenancy rights, medical needs, and legal defences
4) Demanding up to £1,000+ per claim, even before court
5) Harassing carers, disabled visitors, and lawful residents
6) Using legal threats to frighten people into paying, even when charges are unlawful
We Demand That the Government:
7) Fully regulate or dismantle the private parking enforcement industry
8) Require all private parking firms to prove landowner contracts and signage compliance
9) Ban automated or out-of-hours legal letter generation
10) Protect vulnerable groups and tenants with a statutory appeals framework
11) Launch a full review into DVLA data access
12) Prevent private parking companies from using the court system without stricter oversight
This is not just about parking.
This is about justice, data rights, and protecting people from being bullied by unaccountable companies with legal tools they should not have.
We are Justice for Drivers UK, and we demand change now.
Who should take action:
The Secretary of State for Transport
The Ministry of Justice
The UK Government
If you’ve ever been targeted unfairly — sign and share.
Together we can end this abuse.
What We Want – Real Legal Reform
This petition isn’t just about protest, it’s about demanding a real, enforceable law that holds private parking companies accountable.
We call on the UK Government to introduce the:
Justice for Drivers Act
A law to end abuse, protect the public, and finally bring these companies under control.
We Demand the Following Legal Reforms:
• Mandatory licensing for all private parking firms, with annual audits
• Criminal penalties for knowingly issuing false or unlawful charges
• Automatic case dismissal if landowner contracts or legal signage are not provided
• Strict regulation of DVLA data access with heavy fines for misuse
• Ban on sending legal threats or claim letters outside of business hours
• Court access restrictions: no county court use without evidence of compliance and good faith
Public accountability register:
Every company’s track record must be published and reviewed
This is how we stop the abuse.
This is how we protect the public.
Justice for Drivers UK will not stop until the law catches up with the damage these companies are causing.
