    that is their whole idea, to stress you out into paying an invoice demanding £100 , and they can do this for 6 years under the small claims rules, as can anyone for any alleged debt

    if you are going to write to them , challenge the demand for payment and offer POPLA as an ADR for resoving the matter, same as you would do if this went to LBC or to small claims court

    all demands for money are stressful, but its a lucrative business so they have all jumped on the bandwagon and do this to thousands of people every week and can carry on for 6 years under the law

    if you want to take your frustration out on somebody, do it to the IDIOT that told you to ignore the initial ticket, blame them for extremely bad advice.

    In future read that NEWBIES thread carefully as this creeping menace infests supermarkets, retail parks , cinemas , hotels , MSA`s and the like so this wont be the last one you or your hubby pick up, so forewarned is forearmed

    You appeal this using the the template in the newbies sticky thread, you don't alter anything at all, just add your name & address plus date it. Send it off ANPR through the post office with a free proof of postage, and electronically if that is accepted by them.

    Once you get the rejection come back here with help going to popla, please don't do this alone as you will probably lose, we win 100% of the time with forum assisted appeals.

    And ANPR Ltd are the village idiots of parking companies, nobody on here take them or Trevor Whitehouse seriously, I mean his ANPR in a box was allegedly able to catch shop lifters and terrorists, it worked so well that ASA forced them to close their website

    This is what you are dealing with

    the above advice assumes that you are still within the appeal timescales , but appeal anyway, if outside the timescales anpr wont wish to issue a popla code so be prepared for rejections with no popla code , or beating around the bush and not providing one

    if within the timescales they have to provide it due to the BPA CoP , but they can provide one at any time should they wish to do so, which is like getting blood out of a stone

    as KIFL says , its a game , some like playing games , some like playing poker and winning whilst keeping a straight face

    dont forget, if this guy ever went on noel edmonds shows again , he would get spanked by the banker and come away with nothing :)

    I'm sure I read somewhere that I should ask for the POPLA code but can't find any mention of it in the letter of appeal to the Cowboys.

    Do I need to add a specific request? If so could somebody direct me to the appropriate wording to include.
  • yes indeed you should,
    I would suggest you add this in the letter (exactly as it is)
    I do not expect to hear from the mythical N Martin stating that he has personally visited this site,spoken to the ticket issuer nor do I expect to hear you say you have phoned the owner of the site and to be told how happy they are with your signs. We both know this to be untrue , and N Martin isn't a real person. Finally do not try and dissuade me from appealing.

    Please issue a POPLA code forthwith

    The reason the template first appeal doesn't ask for the POPLA code is that you don't have to ask, and because some PPCs don't use POPLA but use an alternative appeal service.

    But as this is 'Trev and his merry men' at ANPR Ltd, do add the paragraph that KIFL has suggested for you. That's tailor made for ANPR Ltd to try to get a POPLA code rather than their usual drivel.

    If you are stressed by this then you haven't done the searches that myself and HO87 suggested above - you should be laughing at them by now, they are the joke of the forums! Once you've read a few other threads about them you will realise the numbskulls you are dealing with and beating them at POPLA will actually be fun.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Letter received from ANPR Ltd.

    Someone pinch me, I must be dreaming!!!!!

    Having read your letter, and having looked at all the details of the incident I have decided to rescind the parking charge notice and there is nothing to pay. Your details will be removed from our systems and you will not hear any more from us. However, we do store the registration number (for reference purposes only) in the event that these circumstances reoccur.

    Signed by P Roberts. ANPR Appeals Manager.

    Thanks for the help and guidance given!
