should i be worried

hello there people not sure if this is the right place as my question is not about a car park but a lane. if we are in the wrong place we are very sorry and any info where to go would be appreciated.

we didn't see warning signs about parking and we have got a ticket because it says we didn't keep an area clear. the ticket says warning to driver then car details and some more stuff about where and how to pay it. it mentions the use of cctv images and we didn't now if they have got an actual picture of us leaving the car.

we have read a lot of things on this web site but to be honest we feel more confused. should we just phone them up and try and sort it out before the 14 days early bird discount finishes as we have read that popla only have like a 50% success rate and then we have to pay the full £100.

if there is already answers within this web site and we have missed them we do apologise as we are really confused right now as there is lots of pages and lots of words that have been abbreviated.

please be patient with us :-)

    this is the thread you need to read https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4816822

    you also havent mentioned the uk region its in, or the name of the PPC either
  • yes the company is ANPR-LTD.COM after we had to find out what you meant by ppc :-) and it happened in Lancashire and by looking around its happened to a lot of people as people have used the lane for dropping off instead of the main road for a long time.
  • In that case follow the links given
    They are a joke of a company

    if they knew that they would send a notice to the driver same as they can always do

    if they send it to the keeper, they have no idea who the driver is

    all the acronyms are explained in the NEWBIES thread I linked to

    you fight fire with fire, they allege parking rules are broken, you get them to prove it, to popla

    Knew it was because of the laughable 'early bird discount'! :rotfl:

    I take it you haven't sussed out how much of a joke this firm is? Search this forum for these keywords one at a time, using the 'search this forum' heading next to 'forum tools' on page one above the threads. Change the default to 'show POSTS':

    'joke'

    'early bird discount'

    'Trev the Clamp'

    'gunged'

    'anpr-in-a-box'


    :) Your thread title should be 'Should I be laughing at Trev and is this even worth appealing'? (Answer, yes to shut them up!). See the NEWBIES thread.

    So? They can't put a name to a face can they? Despite Trev's claims to be able to stop terrorists (seriously!). And anyway you have a picture of Trev the Clamp and his TV appearances including getting gunged on Noel Edmond's House party - or you will do when you've read other threads about the man!
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    You are not just going to get even - you are going to beat them, by not paying a penny to that ridiculous crowd of ex-clamper nit-wits.

    Early-bird discount! - It sounds like breakfast time at KFC. :rotfl:
