One Parking Solution in the official figures
DVLA's figures record 58,776 keeper-record requests made by or on behalf of One Parking Solution in 2025/26 — about 161 a day, level with 2024/25. That is 2.1 times its 2018/19 figure of 27,822.

The IAS publishes only service-wide totals — in its 2024–25 year, operators conceded 7,888 appeals before adjudication — and nothing per operator.

Grounds that work against One Parking Solution
Pick the ground that genuinely fits your situation — a focused, evidenced argument beats a scattergun one.
- The signs were missing, unclear or obscured, so no contract was formed where you parked.
- The Notice to Keeper did not meet Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, so the keeper is not liable.
- You were within the Code’s consideration or grace periods.
- You paid, or held a valid permit or Blue Badge, and the charge is a mistake (e.g. a mistyped registration).
- Genuine mitigating circumstances — a breakdown, a medical emergency, or being directed by staff.
- The amount demanded exceeds the £100 cap in the industry Single Code of Practice, or debt-recovery fees above the Code’s £70 cap (or not stated on the signs) have been added.
- On a residential site, check whether your lease or tenancy already gives you a right to park. A parking company usually cannot override that right by putting up signs.

One Parking Solution appeals — frequently asked questions
How long do I have to appeal a One Parking Solution parking charge?
You normally have 28 days from the date on the notice to make a first-stage appeal directly to One Parking Solution. Appealing promptly also protects the discounted rate. Never pay while you intend to appeal — paying is usually treated as admitting liability and ends the appeal.
What happens if One Parking Solution rejects my appeal?
One Parking Solution is a member of the IPC, so a rejected first-stage appeal can be escalated — for free — to IAS (Independent Appeals Service). One Parking Solution must give you a verification/reference code to do this, and you generally have 28 days from the rejection to use it.
Is a One Parking Solution parking charge a fine I have to pay?
No. A One Parking Solution "Parking Charge Notice" is a private invoice for an alleged breach of contract — not a statutory fine like a council Penalty Charge Notice. It is only enforceable if One Parking Solution can show a valid contract (clear signage) and, to pursue the registered keeper, that it followed Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012.
