No one can advise you without knowing the full details.0 -
pepipoo exists to try and find loopholes. There isn't always a magic loophole which is why I gave this advice previously:TrickyWicky wrote: »HOWEVER.. here is my golden bit of advice that few people know of:
MOST councils operate a 1 strike then you're out policy. That means they'll let you off the first offence if you write in and basically grovel to make them feel good about themselves. Basically explain your situation, how good you found their car park, how conveinient, they're doing a great job blah blah... IF they're one of the councils that operate on the 1 strike policy then you'll get a letter back saying "On this ocassion, we've cancelled your PCN, blah blah". IF not you've at least bought yourself some extra time as they'll freeze your payment time while they decide what to do about it.
If nothing else, just write to them just to get an extra week to find the money.0 -

Not necessarily loopholes, but the correct application of legislation. If the councils don't abide by it, then they can't expect to be allowed to penalise the motorist.0 -
Yes.. and a loophole is usually the laymans term for what you've said - the correct application of legislation. That is generally what pepipoo folks look for to try and get motorists out of sticky spots but as said, there isn't always a "wrongful application of legislation" available.
I stick to my original advice: Write in and grovel. Many parking departments ease up at Xmas due to the Xmas costs. Both parking depts I've worked for have taken a laid back approach at Xmas.0 -

Where is your pepipoo thread, can you link it here? I think they are all up to date, none had no reply last time I did a trawl. If you want more advice ask on pepipoo on your thread and supply any info they asked for.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Is this it? Still waiting for poster to post ticket etc.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0
