Explore the tools in Complete

Find your notice type.

Seven notice classifications, with different next steps. Five support appeal drafting; two are for administration and handoff.

Five notice types with appeal drafting

Select the actual notice type and confirm the issuer and location. Council and private parking routes have regional reference packs for England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland; the London charging routes are separate.

Appeal drafting

Council parking PCN

Challenge a council parking penalty using the notice, the parking circumstances and the evidence supporting your account.

Have ready
  • Council, location and notice date
  • Vehicle, PCN reference and amount
  • Driver account, photographs and any payment or permit records

What you get: A draft parking representation to review and submit through the council’s stated channel.

  • Operator and parking location
  • Charge reference and notice-to-keeper issue date
  • Signs, payment records, keeper or hirer context and your account

What you get: A draft operator challenge based on the case details, with case records available for follow-up.

Two notice types for administration

Some notices belong on the case record but are not civil appeals. These options do not generate a company appeal.

Driver handoff · no company appeal

Driver-liability notice

Record a notice that needs the driver’s attention and use the notification workflow to pass it to them.

Have ready
  • Complete notice and issuer
  • Vehicle and notice reference
  • Correct driver and contact details

What you get: A tracked notice and driver handoff, not a company civil-appeal draft.

Record keeping · no appeal drafting

NIP / criminal notice

Keep a Notice of Intended Prosecution or other criminal notice on record for nomination compliance. Do not treat it as a parking appeal.

Have ready
  • Original police notice and required response
  • Vehicle, incident date and reference
  • Accurate nomination records

What you get: An administrative record only. No criminal defence, appeal drafting or legal advice; follow the notice and seek advice when needed.

Build the account from what actually happened.

The driver checklist covers these situations. Select only what matches the facts, then supply supporting records. A checklist option is not a universal exemption or a guarantee of cancellation.

  • It wasn't me driving / the vehicle wasn't there
  • I was actively loading or unloading
  • I had a valid ticket, permit or paid session
  • The signs or road markings were missing, unclear or wrong
  • I only stopped briefly / left within the grace period
  • I was forced to stop (breakdown, emergency, directed)
  • I have a Blue Badge / was assisting a disabled passenger
  • The charge has already been paid
  • The amount or details on the notice are wrong

Working with fines

From your first input to the next step.

Notice intake

Upload or photograph the notice and check the extracted details. Keep the issuing authority, reference, vehicle and dates on the case.

Driver accounts and evidence

Request the driver’s account and supporting evidence using the case workflow. A driver can respond from a phone without installing an app.

Appeal drafting

Prepare a challenge using the notice and your account. Council penalties and private parking charges follow different processes; check the notice type and location before generating.

Case tracking

Keep drafts, evidence, recorded dates and outcomes together. Record whether the case is being challenged, paid or resolved.

Document export

Review the draft, download it and submit it through the channel specified by the issuer. Generating a draft does not submit an appeal.

From your facts to your document

A clear path from start to finish.

  1. Add the notice

    Supply the complete notice and confirm the issuer, location, reference and relevant dates. Add your account of what happened.

  2. Build the case

    Collect the driver’s account, photographs, receipts or permit evidence. Review the proposed grounds and the draft against those facts.

  3. Review and act

    Download the document, follow the issuer’s submission instructions and record the result. Keep the original notice and check its deadlines.

Your business. Your documents.

Ready for your review, in your name.

Add your business details and branding in your profile. Check the draft against the original information, make the changes you need, then download the document. You decide how to use it.

Almost Legal is AI drafting software for self-representation, not a law firm. It does not replace professional advice on a complex or high-stakes matter.

Before you start.

Does this cover private and council parking notices?

The fines tools handle different notice types, including council and private parking notices. Their rules and routes differ. Supply the issuer and location accurately so the case is considered in the right context.

Will Almost Legal send the appeal for me?

The tool prepares a document for your review. You submit the appeal using the issuer’s instructions. Driver notification actions are separate and are sent only when you use those actions.

Does an appeal guarantee cancellation?

No. The evidence, applicable rules and decision-maker determine the result. Published tribunal statistics are not Almost Legal’s own win rate.

Is one fine one credit?

Not necessarily. A fine may need more than one generated document. The appeal and a separate transfer or follow-up can each consume credits; check the cost shown before generating.
