    Yes i 've read that article and it didnt work :(


    What do you mean it didn't work?

    Although an adjudicator hasn't had to make a finding on it yet, that argument has been used successfully, in that Councils have folded and refunded people, the latest success was posted in the pepipoo successes thread only this week!

    If you want your money back then please hurry and post your own thread there on pepipoo with a draft of your letter. Include the scans you've shown here. If you have already posted on pepipoo and need more advice then reply on your own thread asking for whatever help you need, as it's urgent.

    You MUST get your appeal in on time but you must also get it right, of course. The above post as not quite right I believe because the 'Special Enforcement areas' loophole was closed a few months ago. There are other points of appeal you can use with pepipoo's help.

    When did you collect you car from the pound? That was day one, so only count forward 27 days and that's the very latest date the Council must actually receive your reps.

    Good luck, nothing to lose by appealing so don't let this go. :)
