Britannia PCN

Hi I received a Parking charge notice earlier today from britannia parking for parking over the expiry of paid for time. Which was about 20 minutes.

Having looked through various forums most peoples advice seems to be to ignore private car park operators, I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice and if I do ignore this what the consequences are likely to be and how long it would take for them to send me letters etc?

    No it really isn't the usual advice to ignore a fake PCN now. But then again, Britannia are very tame and only send a few letters so it's up to you.

    But TBH your best bet would be to read current threads, not old ones, and learn about the current advice to challenge and then win at POPLA. If you haven't read about that you've read old threads - so have a look at page one of the forum, the threads around yours.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • Thanks for the advice, looking at some of the other threads people seem to be saying to send a soft claim to the company and then a hard claim to POPLA. The only thing is I don't have any real reason for the removal of the PCN if they do reject the claim and don't know how I would word the claims.
