Excel Parking PCN Deadline missed for POPLA

morsicatio

Just to keep everyone informed of what is happening at the moment (the chain of events may be useful for someone in the future):

1. The named driver has received the Notice and has appealed according to the above recommendation. This has been done by recorded post prior to the 14 day window and we now await a response.

Cheers!

For future reference it is best not to use recorded delivery. PPCs have a habit of not signing for such post. It is far better to get a free certificate of posting.

Oh right! Where does this leave me if they use this tactic in this instance?

it means if they do not sign for it, then its not received, with all the implications that raises

tell them to send it again with free proof of posting at the PO, not recorded, not registered

Hello

Thank you for your response. If they re-send, they will certainly miss the deadline. Is it still worth sending, if the 14-day deadline is certainly missed?

I dont believe there is a 14 day deadline for a soft appeal !

OP has the reference number from the PO been checked online? You might find the letter has been signed for in which case worry no more!

Right, it's a 28 day! That's me getting all confused. I had an email sent across by the driver to appeal - a copy of the letter originally sent.

I'm not too sure what that means? Can I check if they have received it online somehow?

if its sent recorded it has a reference number, so you use the post office online checker to see if its been delivered and signed for

if sent with free proof of posting its deemed delivered 2 days later , but not checked so you have no proof of receipt

I thought it was 28 days for a soft appeal as well, same as a popla appeal

I think you are getting mixed up with the 14 day rule of anpr registration to receiving a NTK pcn in the post
