NW Limited PCN

Hardworker123

Hi,
Firstly thanks very much for taking time to read my post and any advice you can give will be really appreciated.

I have just woke up to find a letter from NW Limited posted through my door asking for £100. It makes reference to my vehicle being parked in a disabled bay at my partners place of work " College car park" on the 19/09/2013.

It seems the college gives each employee a car park permit so they can park on the college and they must display this in the window. However though my partner does have a permit it doesn't cover her to park in the disabled bays. Therefore it seems she must have parked in one of these bays and been given a ticket.

My questions are these

Do i have to tell them she parked in the disabled bay?
Should i just put every letter they send me in the bin?

Or

Do i actually need to pay this £100!

Thanks

No, No and No again.

Read the current threads here to get a feel for the process. No matter the circumstances the charge is not a genuine pre-estimate of the loss incurred by the landowner.

So.

appeal the notice to keeper you have received in just about any way you like. There are various examples and some prefer short and sweet whilst some prefer a more robust initial contact.
You are after the POPLA code so make sure you specifically ask for it.

The PPC will ignore your circumstances so they are effectively irrelevant.

I might be minded to send something like;

Dear Scammer,

I refer to PCN xxxxx. I am the registered keeper and am appealing this charge.

Please therefore send me the POPLA code to which I'm entitled.

At POPLA I'll be asking for strict proof of your contract with the landowner and genuine pre-estimate of losses. I therefore understand completely should you decide to cancel this now.

I will consider any letter harrassment if it does not either a) cancel this charge or b) contain a POPLA code.

Yours etc.

One thing at a time.

Did your partner get a windscreen ticket?
What is the heading on this letter? (Notice to owner? Notice to Keeper? etc)

Does it refer to a ticket issued at the time?

What I am getting at is this the first notification anyone has had and does it say as much.

Quite important, as if it is, their notice to keeper is way out of time.

But you do not ignore.

I am also assuming this happened in England or Wales and you live in England or Wales

NW ltd do not seem to be on the AOS list so popla is not likely to be used.

Hardworker - can you check the Parking company's name and address again please?

Thanks for the replies.

The actual letter today states a parking charge notice was attached to the vehicle at 11.00hrs on 19/09/2013 and it gives a reference number.

I have checked this online and it shows 5 nice photos of my vehicle with the ticket resting under my wiper. However my partner states at 14.30 hrs when she finished work no notice was attached.

Yes I live in England and it happened in England.

Therefore guys what should i do now?

Tell us who it is please, the name does not seem right. was it PCN(NW)ltd?

First thing - can you check the letter and see if the company is actually NW Ltd and if they have a BPA AOS logo on the letter. Or any other parking association.

You will need to write them a soft appeal as "the keeper" saying that the driver saw no signs regarding disabled bays or parking conditions at the entrance to the car park leading you to the conclusion that the signs must have been inadequate.

You should ask them if this is being brought under POFA (unless it says so on the letter).

Depending on your answer to the company name/BPA question, the rest of the advice will change.

Hi,

The actual company is PCN Parking Services of Surrey.


I can't see anything else on the letter other than on the back it says you can appeal to POPLA after they have ignored your appeal.

Coupon-mad

But was this PCN(NW)? Simply send a challenge if so, worded from the registered keeper (not implying who the driver was).

Do not ignore PCN(NW) as they are litigious, so you need to appeal this and knock them into touch by winning at POPLA. This forum tells you how.
