    I think it could only be one appeal per invoice

    I can't see that standing up. If I'm being held responsible as person B, it certainly wouldn't be right by any standard of natural justice that I'm denied my right to appeal because person A had already appealed.

    Yes but if person a nominates person b then they wouldn't need to appeal
    For everthing else there's mastercard.
    For clampers there's Barclaycard.

    They would if they went about it the right way. When they appeal to the PPC all they say is that they weren't driving. PPC rejects appeal, standard series of threatograms ensues, resulting in Person A getting the opportunity to go to "independent" appeal. As the grounds of their appeal they nominate person B as the driver. Whoops, that's £27 please! And presumably the appeal body doesn't have the time (or the power) to establish whether person B really was the driver, so they have no choice but to allow the appeal.

    You realise the BPA are at the helm of this little scam don't you and that they are setting up the appeal body? Do you really think they will allow appeals that will cost their members money? I don't.

    Not really no. I guess some appeals will be allowed so as to "prove" that it's not a scam, but it remains to be seen on what grounds.

    LondonCouncils will have to try to play the game properly though. They are no doubt working under the illusion that the BPA actually has some credibility and that the appeals system will be similar to PATAS.

    Errrrmm...nope. :rotfl:

    I can see the whole house of cards collapsing if pepipoo choose their first appeal cases well. I am ordering in the popcorn ready for October as I can't see the system still running by Christmas (no joke, it will collapse).
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Indeed, it's so full of holes you could drain your spaghetti through it.

    Everyone to appeal the ticket, appeal panel or whatever they will be called will collapse under the sheer weight of numbers. Think BPA assumes 1% will appeal, how many actually appeal council tickets? Is closer to I think 20%-30% ? Anyone done a FOI on this?
    Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
    They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
    Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?

    And we all know how good the BPA are at guessing figures. :)

    Quite happy to give this name and address anytime someone wants to nominate a driver
