    none at all in my opinion , they just want the extra cash

    hence you send the template letter on day 21 and see what transpires

    you save all your ammunition for popla , where you use it to full effect, and win

    Got it on "relevant land" and POFA 2012. Many thanks.

    So what do you think the chances are of them cancelling the PCN, given that the bay markings were not clear?
    Zero of course. And don't talk about the bay lines and give away who was driving - please just follow the Newbies thread. & appeal around day 21 or 22.

    But you will win at POPLA 100% using our simple two-template appeal system and wording.

  • Just out of interest, why not talk about the bay lines? Is it because it's useful for the 2nd stage appeal, or simply, isn't relevant at all?

    THanks again.

    It won't win at POPLA and if people add to the template appeal they are likely to accidentally say who was driving without meaning to, saying stuff like: 'I parked the car in the bay - when I looked I saw there were two sets of lines' (NOPE)!

    Yep you could add it then, but the case won't hinge on it!

  • Doesn't do any harm, tbh. The "evidence" they have is pretty poor. Very blurred, can't tell anything. The photos I have are much better :-)
