Company 'Parking Ticket Appeals' Genuine or Scam ?

Hi, my daughter recently picked up one of these PPT's for being over the lines in a parking bay at her local supermarket. I am bout to appeal using the information & templates in the Newbie section, but I wondered if any body had experience of a company called 'Parking Ticket Appeals' who for a fee of £16 and a guarantee of success will carry out the appeals process on your behalf ?

    Yes totally legitimate and above board, and run by some MSE forum regulars.

    It will cost £16. Do you really want to spend that when it can be done for free. That's what this forum is for.
  • Very genuine, they do around 300 appeals per week.
    Described by the BPA as a "headache for for BPA members"
  • Good value if you haven't got the time or inclination to know more about contract law.

    PPC's use the publics lack of knowledge to make an easy living. The retailers and drivers are the mugs in the process unless you learn how to beat them.

    As others have said, they are a genuine well respected outfit, but you could save yourselves sixteen quid by copying and pasting two appeals from the NEWBIES thread.

  • However if the company is an IPC firm then this copying and pasting wont work
