PCN - No response to parking appeal

Hi I appealed my PCN 15 days ago by E-mail and I read in the BPA code of practice that the company must respond within 14 days to my appeal and I have not received any response so does this mean the PCN is voided?

    No it probably means you did not send it by post and have a certificate of postage to prove it was posted.
    So they will ignore you until the time window runs out.
    I do Contracts, all day every day.

    the ppc has 14 days to acknowledge and 35 days to respond, but those are only guidelines and do not void the pcn

    most ppc,s do not send the acknowledgement

    I suspect you misinterpreted the BPA CoP

    very few companies allow an appeal by email ; its usually online on their website or by snail mail

    Oh okay so in theory they could take 6 months to respond but this would have no effect on the PCN? or do they have a time limit?

    6 years under small claims procedures (an MCOL)

    its an invoice, so nothing voids it apart from a landowner cancellation or a PPC cancellation (or POPLA or IAS cancellations if it went to appeal)

    Hey Mango1990 - so next stage is - respond to the parking company with a copy of your emailed appeal saying you have appealed and demanding they either cancel the charge or reject your appeal and (if they are a BPA member) provide a POPLA code. Send by post this time from a post office and ask for a certificate of posting (these are free btw).

    Also send a complaint to the BPA - contact details in #6 of NEWBIES sticky thread - that the parking company have not responded to your appeal.
