CPP University Car Park

I have read the sticky's these are a BPA member do I still need to complain to the land owner? I dont have the P&D ticket but my charge is not about non payment or runnming over time its because my tyres were slightly on what was a poorly painted double lined area. I mean slighlty so its quite a naughty charge in my opinion. I was still in a car park space. Now then NTK arrives 19/01/15 alledged contravention 15/12/14. Do I still need to complain to the land owner or can I continue with the appeal template? Will not appealing to the land owner go against me if this eventually ends up with POPLA?

Incidentaly there are two dates on the NTK - Date of Event 15/12 and just Date 15/01/2105 I received the NTK 19/01 - The NTK tells me I have to pay by 12/02 yet the appeal states 28 days from thedate of this correspondance which I presume to be 15/01

Should I still complain to the land owner or just usethe template in sticky 3 and appeal?

Many Thanks

    Ignore any 'Pay by' date as you won't be paying anything!

    Getting the landowner to cancel the ticket is normally the quickest and most final method of getting the monkey off your shoulder. Complaining is a proven strategy. This should be done in parallel (not instead of) your initial appeal (from the NEWBIES FAQ sticky).

    If this doesn't work it will have no impact on your POPLA appeal, as there is no need to reference it at all in that appeal.

    Do both. Remember not to reveal who was driving in either case. Don't say I did this or didn't do that, but say the driver did this or didn't do that, even when complaining to the landowner.

    The bit about the yellow lines is irrelevant so just use ALL the appeal points in the NEWBIES thread. Pictures of signs will be useful if you need more help here or if it goes to PoPLA. Get pics now in case they get changed at a later date.

    If you send your appeal by piost, do it from a Post Office and get a free proof of posting certificate. Do not send it recorded delivery.

    just use the template letter to CPP and see what happens in return, keeping free proof of posting if by mail, or try to ensure you get a screenshot or acknowledgement if online - this should be done before your 28 day limit runs out , so do it now

    do not admit who the driver was

    no it wont go against you at popla

    if they dont cancel and give you a popla code, use that within 28 days to appeal to popla

    also complain to the landowner as well, the more weapons you use, the better
  • Used the template on here and advice given received a letter cancelling the notice Thank you :beer:
