CP Plus notice to keeper

ClockWatch

Hi folks,

Ŵe're looking for some advice please. The Mrs has just had a notice to keeper having disregarded a parking notice/invoice thingy from CP plus. We've had these clowns before, last year, and obviously at the time we disregarded it as was the usual practice.

However things are different now we find! I've had a good read through here and other sites and thought it was possible we could just appeal under the 14 day rule, but then I realised what ANPR meant

The issue is parking in the staff area at work without displaying a valid staff parking permit. Which comes from a 1% salary sacrifice and generates a whole different story about the craziness of the NHS.

Anyway, do we just pay the £80 as, actually, the issue is correct or do we appeal etc?

Any advice gratefully received.

You never pay even if you lose the appeal.

Send an appeal to them. Lose? Appeal through POPLA. Lose that? Appeal through the county court when they insist on taking you there. The chance of getting all the way to a court room...0.1% or less.

Here's a thumbnail outline of a process to follow. It was written for another poster (and regarding a different PPC to yours), but it does have a generic application - so it's a starting point for you.

Also, there have been a number of 'hospital car park' threads of late, so put that phrase into the search engine (top right of forum index page) and check those out.

Come back if you need any further advice, and definitely come back if or when you draft a POPLA appeal - don't go it alone on POPLA, you are likely to lose if you do.
