    appeal in just about any way you like. There are various examples, 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 any mitigating circumstances so they are usually irrelevant.

    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.

    Forgive me if I am wrong but I think I put links to every possible thing in the top sticky thread for newbies that I created this week! Including how to appeal, 'short version or humdinger' as I call it.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    The short version just leads to a page with more links :(

    Yes, OMG that's rather the point. Did you actually click on the example links?
