    Hi Guys ( sorry as a newbie i think i opened this in the wrong place - no offence, i have opened a new thread)

    Im a complete newbie, sorry if i am in the wrong place!

    I received a pcn issued by a bpa member, method was anpr, i wrongly i know now ignored it, and then the next one and now i have received a lbcc.

    I have never signed for any of these can i just reply to the original as if i just received it? using the advice/templates on here?

    I must have read old threads originally to ignore all.

    Can a defence of never having received the paperwork work? as i have never signed for any letters?

    my parking mistake was genuine, the signage confusing with some areas offering free parking for 20 mins and some evidently not

    What can i do can i start again or say i never received paperwork when summons comes etc

    thanks in advance and sorry if i have broken any protocols im very new to this stuff

    Hello I am completely new to this, I have never been fined or any points on my licence and need to clarify a point on the issue of my notice to keeper. I parked on a privately operated car park on 6th Jan 2015. It was a housing estate car park (think council owned) so no ticket facility - permits only. It was an emergency and I had to park for 15 to 20 minutes to collect my ill son from school. When I returned with my son and approached my car their agent was noting my car details and advised that they would be contacting me with a penalty. I was not given anything in writing. I have just received a notice to keeper driver (issue date of 4th Feb 2015). This is outside of the 14 day period to issue - am I correct on this - so could this a technicality not to pay the charge of £60.00? The notice states that they 'were unable to affix the parking charge notice to the vehicle whilst it was stationary as the driver drove off. A copy is attached for your reference'.

    From their notes the period of parking was for 10 minutes in total.

    Guidance would be appreciated.

    Just wanted to say thank you very much for this. I appealed against Reading MOTO services and they accepted my appeal within 2 hours.

    Thank you!

    Hi

    I just dropped in to say thank you all for your advice.

    My wife got stung at Stevenage Leisure Park on 4 Dec 2014 and she received a penalty notice.
    * She got a ticket with all the photos, but somehow the ticket went missing (How? I don't know!)
    * She received Notice to Keeper early January - we appealed through a specialist company (Parking Ticket Appeals)
    * Appeal rejected. Parking Ticket Appeals went out of business! (more on that later)
    * Went to another company - Private Parking Appeals (alias Parking Cowboys - recommended on these hallowed pages, no less)
    * They lodged second appeal
    * Fri 27 Feb - penalty cancelled! Result!

    About Parking Ticket Appeals:
    I sensed something was up when their website stopped working. But they were helpful in recommending an appeal to PayPal to get a refund - which I got!

    Parking Cowboys / Private Parking Appeals: they got the result, but they don't communicate very well - in fact, not at all!

    P.S. The parking company was UKPC.

    Hi, hope you can help. I see on note 7 that for a camera related 'offence' the charge notice must be received within 14 days. The alleged offence occurred at Luton Airport (Apcoa Parking) 05:15 on 12/2. The reply was dated 26/2 and was received 28/2. Is this a grounds for rejection ?
    Many thanks, David

    Luton Airport is not Middlesborough. Please start your own thread otherwise chaos reigns.

    What on earth does this have to do with a parking charge in Middlesbrough, the topic of this old thread?
