    Please stopped writing "I parked". You clearly mean "the vehicle was parked".

    Dear Sirs

    Re: PCN No (the vechcials PCN number)

    I challenge this 'PCN' as keeper of the car, on these main grounds:

    a). The sum is disproportionate, does not represent a genuine pre-estimate of loss, nor is it a core price term.
    b) The sum is extravagant and unconscionable and cannot be justified.
    c). Your 'Notice' fails to comply with the POFA so there can be no keeper liability.
    e). Secure space are not authorised by the BPA to use ANPR.


    Formal challenge
    There will be no admissions as to who was driving and no assumptions can be drawn. You must either rely on the POFA 2012 or cancel the charge. I will only appeal further if you offer POPLA, the only independent ADR with a scrutiny panel and trained Assessors. The 'IAS' offered by IPC firms will not be used, for well-documented reasons.

    Breach of CCRs
    I hereby give notice of withdrawal from this alleged 'contract' which was never properly offered nor expressly agreed. This 'contract' is cancelled and any obligations now end.

    I have kept proof of submission of this appeal and look forward to your reply.

    Yours faithfully,

    (My name)



    I have used the template found in the newbie thread. How is this for a start?

    I do appreciate the help and I'm now becoming more familiar with the terminology.

    Yep, that's the way forward. Email it or appeal online - IF they offer that option. If you have to post it, take your envelope to the PO counter and ask for a free certificate of posting and keep it, in case the parking firm don't respond to your appeal within 35 days as they should.

    Come back at POPLA stage and look ahead at examples of POPLA appeal wording.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
