PCN at Birmingham Airport for failing to park in a designated parking areas

Will do and many thanks for the letter template
I thought i had it cracked what to write but seen that APCOA didnt issue this with any mention of Keeper liability or PoFA (I believe as its a private airport road)

Thanks again

You are right of course, but it doesn't need a complicated first appeal, just something simple to get a popla code if they reject. Just don't admit who's driving and they are basically stymied

Will not put any information in to that sort.

Thanks Stroma - il patiently wait and see if others think i should add anything else.

Nope that's fine at this stage. Hope you have by now read the NEWBIES sticky thread and are aware to revisit it (post #3 of the sticky) for 'How to win at POPLA' links to examples that will win at the second stage. Airport/APCOA examples and all - very easy to copy and adapt to suit.

Hi guys - i posted my appeal off some time ago and still have proof (thankfully)- I have received no reply whatsoever from APCOA since i posted in early Feb 2014 and have now received a Debt recovery Letter from "Debt Recovery Plus" demanding payment of £150.

I was expecting either a POPLA code or a letter indicating my "appeal" was successful

I cant risk a debt recovery record on my credit file due to my line of work......

Can anyone please advise where i go from here? Im quite worried now...

Honestly this crops up so much all I can say is please search the forum for 'APCOA' and find out what everyone does as regards a complaint.

I genuinely wasnt being lazy and since the message i posted i have been looking at the forums - Just a quick question i have written an email to Steve Clark and Elizabeth Symons - along with another letter to APCOA.

Do i just hold fire for now?

Go bless you for all your work on this

Coupon-mad

Yes, hold fire if you've complained to the BPA about this! I didn't think you were being lazy, in fact I was a bit jaded as we see this happen all the time with APCOA and it's time the BPA imposed sanctions against them over it.

Hi guys
Just thought i would let people know i initially sent an email to elizabeth symons after reading an older post and then seen coupon mads updated post advising it should be david dunford. I today got a reply from elizabeth advising she is investigating the complaint- looks like she is still the person to email (in addition to david dunford?).

I still await a reply from steve clark but its not even been 24 hours yet.

Finally should i send a letter to APCOA advising I have written to BPA and DVLA? I have exams at uni and iv spent so long at this so thought i wouldnt send another letter- is that recommended?

They havent even replied to my initial letter or even acknowledged it and have sent it to debt recovery (as above)

Thank you sooo much folks
God bless
