Parking Ticket Appeals guide discussion

Lindann

I have received a cbc when parked on a grass area in hospital grounds. On the Contractual notice board it states: Warning. Contractual agreement. No parking in roadway area. Any vehicle parked in roadway area may be given a cbc. I was not parked in the roadway . There is no mention of parking in designated parking areas only . There are no signs forbidding parking on grass . The ticket was issued between 10.30- 10.31. My appeal was turned down and if I appeal further I will have to pay the full amount of £100. Advice please. Thankyou :(

Hello
My friend parked my car and received a PCN. A challenge letter was posted taking advice from these forums and we did not hear anymore, assumed they had let it go as they were in the wrong. Months later they sent another letter asking for payment ignoring our initial challenge.
I sent the letter below to point out again they had breached timings ie issued PCN more than 14 days after alleged contravention and PCN shows these dates. They are ignoring the initial challenge and now the use of POCA as they say too late?! Can they do this? Whats the next step? It been handed over to debt recovery already despite challenge.Advice please?

Dear Sir / Madam,
On 6.1.16, I was the registered keeper of a XXXXX

Reasons for requesting the cancellation of the above PCN are as laid out below:

The Parking Charge Notice was issued on 2.2.16 as per your notice to keeper and subsequently received by the Keeper more than 14 days after the alleged contravention date of 6.1.2016. This breaches the Protection Of Freedoms Act 2012 (POFA), Schedule 4, Paragraph 9, Points 5 and 6. Civil Enforcement Ltd has therefore failed to meet the stated POFA deadline on serving the notice, therefore keeper liability can not be used.

We/I dispute the whole basis of the parking charge on the grounds of the sum being disproportionate and not representative of a genuine pre-estimate of loss, nor is it a core price term.

There will be no admissions as to who was driving and no assumptions can be drawn. You must either rely on the POFA 2012 or cancel the charge. I will only appeal further if you offer POPLA, the only independent ADR with a scrutiny panel and trained Assessors. The 'IAS' offered by IPC firms will not be used, for well-documented reasons.

I have kept proof of submission of this appeal and hope you will see to respectfully cancel the above PCN given your failure to meet the stated POFA deadline on serving the notice.

Yours faithfully,
Please Note: Unless you have specifically requested it and received my express permission, you do not have my authority to disclose or refer this letter or any other communication from me to any other person or organisation. You do not have permission to share or store my data for any purposes whatsoever.

Good afternoon
With reference to your recent correspondence, the contents of which have been duly noted, our client maintains that all relevant correspondence has been sent and that the correct procedure has been followed.
We must inform you that you have now surpassed the time frame in which an appeal can be made as appeals can only made within 28 days of the Parking Charge Notice being issued and a POPLA code can only be issued following an unsuccessful appeal with our client
Please note that in this instance our client would not be relying on POFA in pursuing payment of this PCN and in the absence of you providing the driver details for the event our client would argue the balance of probability that you, as the registered keeper were the driver.
As you have not paid or did not respond to the operator’s further correspondence, this matter progressed to recovery stage and additional charges have been incurred.
Please be advised, our client has confirmed the PCN was issued correctly.
The full balance remains payable on our systems, please contact our offices to arrange payment.
This matter will remain on hold until 30 June 2016 to allow you time to make payment in full. Should payment not be received, we are will have no choice but to instruct Solicitors.

Please don't litter random threads with the same posting.

I parked on double yellow lines with my Blue Badge displayed in a location I'm aware I can park in.
I ended up in a&e with my wife so went well over the allowed 3 hours.

The penalty notice wasn't clear of reason so I asked why.

I've since received a letter about my "challenge".
I was not challenging.

Anyones opinion on this please before I go further to challenge/appeal.

I'm familiar with how to appeal etc but am querying re their incorrect assumption that I was challenging.

This is a small area which I've never seen used in the last 5 years.

Opinions as to whether their incorrect assumption subsequently give me some kind of case please

Oh the letter explained re going over 3 hours and the "despite" was rejected and I'm told I have to pay.

You have a case anyway.

Please don't read the useless MSE article! It's too old and the suggested appeal is WRONG.

Please read the NEWBIES READ THESE FAQS FIRST thread, near the top of the forum and send that appeal instead, if you have not yet got a rejection letter & POPLA code. This will be ParkingEye or Indigo or CP Plus, maybe, so send them a copy of the Blue Badge as well and do the appeal online WITHOUT saying who was driving. Unless you are already at POPLA stage*

The sticky thread explains all.

It was a council ticket and I'm not at any stage. Like I say, I'm aware of how to handle parking fines.

I am merely asking opinions of the councils letter.

Thanks though
