PAYMENT “UNDER PROTEST”

Nov 2, 2025

How to Make a Payment Under Protest Before Your Next Pitch Fee

If you’re unhappy about rising site fees, unfair terms, or the way your holiday park agreement was sold, it’s important not to simply stop paying — but equally important not to pay without making a payment under protest.

In simple terms, a payment under protest means you pay what’s being demanded while clearly recording that you dispute the amount or the basis for the charge.

Many park owners don’t realise that the way you make your next payment could affect your legal rights later on.

By paying your pitch fees “under protest”, you can:

Avoid penalties or threats of repossession from your park.

Keep your legal claim alive by formally stating you don’t agree with the charges.

Strengthen your position to seek compensation or challenge your contract.

Taking early legal advice ensures your payment is correctly documented — protecting your right to recover unfair fees and possibly claim compensation.

Before you make your next payment, speak to our legal team for free.


We’ll explain exactly how to protect your rights and ensure your payment doesn’t weaken your claim.

You can contact us for a free and confidential review of your park home contract to see if you could be eligible to claim, or if you just need some friendly advice on your situation.
