Parking fine - complaint
UiA has engaged Apcoa (Europark) as a controlling authority. (Apcoa Parking has bought Europark, in case the name does not look right.)
Apcoa (Europark) fines violations of parking rules and is also the appellate authority. Click here for the Norwegian Consumer Council’s checklist for complaints (Sorry - in Norwegian only).
Apcoa (Europark) handles all cases about fines (sorry - in Norwegian only) – find complaint form to the right on the webpage marked "Kontrollavgift.no". The form is in English.
If you think that a fine has been incorrectly issued, you are entitled to make a complaint. The time limit for submitting a complaint is three weeks from the fine date. The complaint must be submitted in writing. The easiest way to do this is by using the electronic complaint form found at www.kontrollavgift.no. Questions regarding the fine can be directed to customer service: Arvato Finance AS, avd. parkering, Postboks 331 Sentrum, 0101 Oslo, tel +47 22878990 or via Apcoa (EuroPark), tel: +47 22057500 (option 2). A fine that has been disputed, assuming that the time limit for complaints stated in chapter 9, section 44 have been upheld, cannot be sent to debt collection until the legitimacy of the fine has been decided. The right to make a complaint is valid regardless of whether the complainant is assisted by a lawyer or similar.
Apcoa's (Europark’s) controlling activity is performed for a set cost. Income from fines and parking go directly to UiA and is used for operating and investing in the parking facilities and for environmental efforts, cf. UiA Board’s resolution in item 101/16 (sorry - Norwegian only).
