    Go back to the main page of this board on parking - the sticky at the very top has the template letter in it. Don't know how to post the link, sorry.

    We are 'marvellous'(!) and you will win! Do let us know if you need to go forward to 'round two' of the appeal (POPLA) as we have the winning words ready for you.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I am willing to admit to having a personal vendetta against MET ... But there are lots of people here to help if you need it.

    Be prepared for your first appeal to fail. You will probably need to go to the second stage of the appeal, POPLA, to win. This isn usually what happens.

    i had a similar situation caused by the side effects of medication to treat depression in so much as I was out one night when I was overtaken by tiredness and so stopped at a Mc D's and fell asleep when waiting for a coffee to cool. this generated an overstay of about 90 mins

    After the letters got more threatening, I decided to ignore my (now) ex's advice to ignore the speculative invoice, fired off an email stating a list of the side effects of my medication, told them that any further attempts to chase it would be classed as harassment and waited.

    few days later they rolled over and said no further action would be taken.

    I recount this only to show that for genuine medical grounds it is possible to get these things over turned and offer you encourangement. I do NOT recommend ignoring any correspondence (as I was ncorrectly advised to) and would specifically request you follow the forum advice, as you've indicated you will

    So just for clarity (forgive me I am really unsure and quite nervous about this)

    I have completed the stantard template letter JUST filling in who it's to & the PCN REF and I am about to send it (in the post as the only email I have is general information) IS THIS CORRECT?
