Parking Charge Notice

If they rejected your appeal, did they provide you with a code to appeal to POPLA, as they are required to do by the BPA?

As you have already contacted them, I would get back in touch asking for the POPLA code (assuming you don't already have it). By appealing to POPLA you will cost the PPC in the region of £32 and even if POPLA don't find in your favour you can then just carry on ignoring.

No the letter just says that they have evidence that I failed to comply with the parking terms. They put my account on hold for 14 days to allow me to provide further evidence. The letter is dated the 16th November.

After the 14 day period expired they sent me another PCN which gave me until the 30th December to pay. I ignored it.

Should I bother replying now seeing as I'm out of the time frame anyway? Will it just restart the whole process? Thinking of just leaving it but the only problem is it goes to my mum and dads address.

Parking Eye have adopted this new tactic of asking for more evidence, etc, as a way of avoiding going to POPLA (and costing them money). If you want to reply to them, tell them that you have submitted all the representations you intend to, and if they reject your appeal, you demand a POPLA code within 35 days of your original appeal in order to appeal to them.

If you want to leave it, I assume that now you have communicated with PE, the correspondence is addressed to you? So what if it goes to you parents' address? They don't open your mail, do they?

No but I told them about the situation anyway. The only thing I don't want is, if they escalate it to DCA, for my mum to have someone knocking her door. Letters are fine, people, not so much. Lol.

DCAs do not "knock on doors". They just rely on sending out their stupid letters to try and frighten people into paying up.

That's ok then, didn't want my mum with a nasty man/woman at her door telling her to pay up! Lol. (She's done that for me enough times in the passed when I had debts - O2 once sent a DCA/Bailiff over).

I would go the route of demanding the popla code, ensure that you tell that if its not sent within 35 days of the original communication to them that it's automatically dropped. If they then try to get a dca on it they are going against the code of practice of the bpa and should be reported to them for it, and the dvla and trading standards
