Hi to all:
I just receive the notice from G24 with my details and the picture of my car.
At the day when this was happen I was a bit tired and went sleep on the car park......... to long (the store was already closed but the system works 24/7
Now they send me a notice to pay and if i will pay within next 14 days the fine will be reduced down to 57 from 95 pounds....
It there any way to not pay -can i ignore the notice or do i have to pay........57 it's still a lot of money for me.......
and i do not want any big-pigs knocking to my door as i have a little baby.:(
thank you for any help

    G24 won't send heavies around so you can stop worrying about that.

    This PPC are easily defeated if you follow the advice in the Newbies thread - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4816822

  • HI:
    Thank you for your reply....
    I don't want to be a pain in eye but can i ask you to send me a ready form to print and send it back on priv msg. as I'm not so smart and my english is not as good as I would like to be.
    Also what if they will ask me about the driver name as I'm the ovner of the car i should know who driving my car.
    My boss said to me that I should try to write to them something like ---I was unwell that day when this was happen and i stop on the car park and went sleep as it was to danger to drive the car. I didn't left the car I was all the time inside -the shop was closed as this was a night time and I'm realy sorry but this was for my and the others safety.

    OK, you need to do the following :

    1. Appeal to G24 ( see wording below - use the EXACT wording but with your details ).
    2. Await their response.
    3. Appeal to POPLA if your first appeal is rejected.

    Given English may not be your first language and the fact that I rather like costing G24 money ( my pet PPC to campaign against ) I will write your POPLA appeal if you bump this thread when you get the rejection.

    ***** Appeal to G24 ****

    Dear G24,

    This is an appeal against the charge issued to the vehicle with the registration XXXXXX, charge reference XXXX.

    It is the registered keepers assertion that :

    1. The charge is not a genuine pre-estimate of loss.
    2. That the signage does not conform to the BPA CoP to which G24 has committed.
    3. That G24 has no authority to issue charges over the land in question.

    As such the charge is rejected. You should now either cancel said charge or provide a POPLA code for the registered keeper to appeal to the independent adjudicator.

    Any further correspondence other than confirmation of cancellation or a POPLA code will be considered harassment and could result in legal action being taken against you.

    Yours,

    Print name ( don't sign ).

    I'm not entirely sure I know what you mean ?

    All you need to do is look at the charge they have sent you and use the email address for appeals - just send the text I've given you.

    I suspect he's talking about a PCN - Personal Costs Notification. :D

    That would come later, after POPLA. But it might be worth including that standard paragraph in the first appeal. :)

    Personally I feel that is a bit of a gimmick. All well and good for those PPCs that do go to court ( PE and CEL ) but pretty much worthless on those that don't ( like G24 ).
