Use photobucket or tinypic (or similar) to host the images, then post the links to them here.

If you're not able to post links, just remove the http:// part.

Edit: SNAP!

OK, done the photobucket thing so here goes:

Hope this works?!

I'd redact the PCN number too.

I have seen this template on here, is this good enough for a soft appeal? I have also found a hugely long one on parkingcowboys but I prefer this!

I wish to appeal your charge on the basis that it is not a true pre-estimate of loss. I have read that every case at POPLA when you are asked to produce a breakdown of your charges and justify your pre-estimate of loss calculation, the appeal is upheld.

I will not be entering into any protracted correspondence so please either cancel the charge or provide me with a POPLA code within 35 days."

have you contacted the retailers and complained, producing proof of purchase at the time? This is easily the quickest way to have it cancelled.

I can't find how the landowner is. Is this template good enough and robust enough or should I use a more sophisticated version?
Thanks, sorry again for my idiocy with this.

I didn't say you needed the landowner, almost certainly NOT the 'landowner':

''Most retail park managing agents are EASY to find if it's a fairly large retail park with a name. Google it, read newspaper and retail article results and find out who is given as the contact who runs the place. Complain to them AND to the Store Managers, be businesslike and assertive and put it in writing if you can't march back in there suited and booted soon!''

Google finds almost every retail park's contact details if you trawl through the results.

OK, I have done a search through Google and found that Axa bought the site in 2003 and appointed a company called Nelson Bakewell to manage it. Nelson Bakewell collapsed in 2008 and I have garnered no further information from Google?

I will continue searching but in the meantime is this a good enough soft appeal letter (as I included above):

"I wish to appeal your charge on the basis that it is not a true pre-estimate of loss. I have read that every case at POPLA when you are asked to produce a breakdown of your charges and justify your pre-estimate of loss calculation, the appeal is upheld.

I will not be entering into any protracted correspondence so please either cancel the charge or provide me with a POPLA code within 35 days."

Sorry, I am just worried about the timescales here.

Thank you all SO much, these are so much easier to pay but I hate give money to these shysters.

That will do!

They might not issue POPLA code on the sole point of no GPEOL as they know they will lose and may claim it's not a valid reason to appeal. I would back it up with having checked the signs, they fail to comply with all of the requirements of the BPA Code of Practice appendix and, therefore, are non compliant.
