    Signed is a waste of money. Get free proof of posting from the Post Office.

    Seconded, just a free cert of posting because a PPC doesn't have to sign for a letter do they?!

    You could also send it via their website, as there is an option for an attachment, as well as post with proof of posting.

    Hey folks,

    I'll be printing and posting the 1st appeal letter (a copy of Coupon-mad's excellent work) in the coming days. In the NtK they specifically mention that "the terms and conditions of parking which were clearly and prominently displayed on our cark park signs" as a point. I took photos the day after of the front of the particular retail unit which was parked at, which shows a complete absence of such signs so I'll be printing and adding those images to the letter (can't hurt to prove them wrong on that point, right?!)

    At the point of sending, I'll be sure to get a certificate of posting and then follow it up with an online submission.

    Many thanks,
    Tem

    Well done Temmy.

    I wonder if they're 'running scared' - given the location? :D
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Muhahaha.

    Really interesting that pre-POFA, they would never have cancelled.
    Post-POFA, initially, they would never have cancelled.

    Now they are getting regularly spanked, they are seeing sense and cancelling.

    The sad thing is that this will not 'drive up standards in the industry' because they will still be issuing tickets at that site and raking in money from people who cough up.
