MET Parking - Sidesteps justification

Keeper received NTK for alleged infringement at Gatwick McDonalds on 15th January.

She responded to MET on 21st January informing them that I was the driver and at the same time sent me the NTK.

I responded to MET as the driver on the 22nd January with a full and thorough appeal.

This makes me smile....
MET responded on the 23rd January cancelling the claim. Strange how fast they responded dont you think. The reason is that they could not deal with all the points I raised so they cancelled by writing to the KEEPER, I think that is brilliant sidestepping dont you think. No reasons for cancellation were given.

    Hi I have just received a letter from MET saying. Thank you for your correspondence received on 21/01/15, in which you raised concern about the issuing of the above parking charge notice.
    On this occasion your representation has been accepted and we have cancelled this parking charge notice.
    It follows that the charge is no longer due.
    We would like to apologise for any inconvenience that may have been caused as a result of its issue.

    *No concerns were raised whatsoever, the Keeper simply sent my details to them.

    Still a smart move tho.
  • Hi Dublindel, good work! Are you able to advise if the key points you made? I also have one of these from MET...

    I have about a dozen "appeal successful" letters at this site before I even had the chance to send an appeal. Met are a complete joke of a company.
    They have also failed to follow through with any evidence to POPLA on the four occasions that they have been stupid enough to take me there.
    The word "gullible" isn't in the dictionary
    Tickets: 19 [cancelled: 18, paid: 0, pending: 1]
    PPC Appeals: 8 [accepted: 2, rejected: 5, pending: 1]
    POPLA: 4 [accepted: 4, rejected: 0, pending: 0]
  • Actually... believe it or not they have reinstated the charge lol.. The wording of cancellaprecise statedharge was crystal clear that the PCN was cancelled and no monies were owed. They are now saying to me that that was personal to the keeper and did not apply to the driver. The letter should have TRANSFERRED liability but it did not.

    My rejection letter was a joke so it's a foregone conclusion that i will win, but unfortunately certain responses will now not be justified.

    It bloody bad news when they can't even write a proper bloody letter.

    MET parking... i hope you enjoyed reading this and look forward to hearing from POPLA that you either withdrew your claim or presented no evidence. I must say that refusing to allow me or POPLA to see your contract is a fatal move for a good success rate.

    I suggest you get your head out of your !!!! and learn to write letters that are clear and percise. And if you wish to respond, please enclose your trading address.

    Let them pay £27, to be told that they should have cancelled it anyway. Muppets.

  • It's not enough, I want to embarrass them. I will be on the phone to them next week to chase up my evidence pack so they do not forget
  • NEVER phone a PPC or debt collector. You'll get nowhere and just be wasting your time. Every transaction should be in writing (email is OK). A phone call leaves no trace and effectively never happened.
  • It's ok.. i know this but I personally enjoy it. I understand that point of view but I have it all covered and really I don't give a rats !!!! for ppc's so I play it my way but I don't advise others to do what I do. But many thanks

    I have not had a single evidence pack for any of my POPLA appeals from MET. They only want the easy wins!
