Charge certificate
If you fail to pay or challenge the Notice to Owner within 28 days a charge certificate will be issued. This will:
- increase the charge by 50 per cent
- give you a further 14 days to pay before the debt is registered at the county court
- confirm that you are no longer able to contest the charge.
Debt registration
If the debt is registered at the county court we will be authorised to send out a Notice of Debt Registration stating:
- a court fee has been added to the parking fine debt
- you have 21 days from the date that this notice is served to pay the new charge or complete a witness statement to confirm why you have not paid the parking fine.
If you do not respond to this notice the county court will grant us the authority to issue a warrant and instruct enforcement agents to recover the debt on our behalf. The enforcement agents' charges are authorised by statute and can result in a significant sum added to the original debt.
We use the Norfolk Parking Partnership civil parking enforcement manual to ensure a continuity of enforcement across the county.
