That will do the job!

Thanks CM - I will also attach a photo of the OPC parking sign for good measure.


I will send the two appeals off tomorrow and let you know the outcome.


Thank you to everyone on this forum who has helped me get to this stage..............

Well researched and written appeal Tramline and a sure winner but this part:

The operator who issued the ticket failed to inspect the windscreen properly as per the operators instructions and incorrectly issued a PPC.

PPC = private parking company
PCN = parking charge notice

I think you may have got some abbreviations mixed up a little here.

The appeal is a sure winner though - and do make a formal complaint to the BPA and DVLA regarding this as the permit was clearly displayed.


Did you have to pay for the permit at all?

I would be inclined to request OPC place your vehicle on a white list of exempt cars in future or face a counterclaim for harassment.

Also the devil in me would like to see what would happen if you parked with the wheels outside the bay markings as per their terms and challenged a charge accordingly:D (but of course you don't want any unnecessary aggravtion)

Do not park within a demarcated parking bay.

4CR - Very good spot - you're right it should be PCN


The Permit was free


And I will request OPC white list my vehicle or face harassment counterclaim.


Yes....that demarcated bay buffoonery sums up OPC

Another win for MSE - Many thanks for everyone's support and guidance.

My two parking appeals were found in my favour.

Reference 486XXXXXX
always quote in any communication with POPLA
XXXXXXXXXX (Appellant)
-v-
Observices Parking Consultancy Ltd (Operator)

The Operator issued parking charge notice number XXXXXX arising out
of a presence on private land, of a vehicle with registration mark
XXXXXXXX.

The Appellant appealed against liability for the parking charge.

The Assessor has considered the evidence of both parties and has
determined that the appeal be allowed.

The Assessor’s reasons are as set out.

The Operator should now cancel the parking charge notice forthwith.
Reasons for the Assessor’s Determination

It is the Appellant’s case that the parking charge notice was issued
incorrectly.

The Operator has not produced a copy of the parking charge notice, nor any evidence to show a breach of the conditions of parking occurred, nor any evidence that shows what the conditions of parking, in fact, were.

Accordingly I have no option but to allow the appeal. :beer:

Yet another PPC bottling out at POPLA.

So now you put up notices or post them through letterboxes to inform other residents and warn them not to pay.
