Would I be able to send the appeal letter in on Monday? I don't want to wait three weeks, especially with that falling around Christmas time? I was told about it by the driver on the night anyway

You can send the appeal any time you like, but you have been given advice to appeal just before the appeal deadline for very good reasons that are explained in the NEWBIES thread. It was written by someone who is probably the most experienced person in the country when it comes to private parking tickets.
Someone who has given up hundreds of hours of their own time to write the NEWBIES thread.
Someone who has helped thousands of people to beat these scam parking tickets.


If you want our help, then I suggest you follow the advice you have been given. If you don't want it or are going to ignore it, then please don't ask.

Also from what I've gathered, waiting three weeks is only because that's the time they send me a reminder and it nullifies it if they don't.
If this is the case, then surely that's very rare? With Christmas coming up, as well as my exams and this is simply one extra thug to worry about I was planning on sending it out on Monday depending on what the manager said.
Would doing it so soon discredit me in anyway?

Discredit you? no.


Disadvantage you? Yes. You would potentially be giving away a valuable PoPLA appeal point.


The fact that the Winter Solstice and all the festivities that go with it at this time of year is approaching, or you have a trial by knowledge coming up are completely irrelevant.

I just spoke to someone who works for the company that owned the land. Would not put me through to the manager yet said that the driver was parked for over an hour and they have proof of this on cctv. As well as him entering and exiting the car on his own.
Are there still valid grounds to appeal here?

Yes. They are all explained in the NEWBIES thread.
You have been told how and when to appeal, so please do that just before the appeal deadline as advised, and also contact the manager/landowner, not their minor ignorant employees as well.

The driver was helping a disabled person to the car, who unfortunately did not have their badge on them or in the car to be used as the time. Yet it would be possible to send proof of keener ship of one.

Can the 'driver' also prove that the "disabled person" was there at the time with them? If so, why was the badge not displayed?

The blue badge scheme does not apply on private land. It is meaningless and irrelevant. It is not the only indicator of a disability and there is no legal requirement to display one.
Telling someone who is disabled but doesn't have a blue badge that they cannot park on private land, but someone who does have a blue badge can park is discrimination and contravenes the EA 2010.


Having said that, the BPA CoP says that once a PPC has been made aware that an occupant of a car has got a blue badge, they should cancel the charge.

IOW, I can go and park there, and if I get nabbed, I simply ring up my Aunty Val and get her to say she was with me?

How can the OP prove that he, AHEM, "the driver" is not telling such a lie?

whenever you make a statement , be prepared to be asked this same question whilst in court , If you are happy with your conscience , then continue.

The BPA should of course tell their members to cancel a ticket once the PPC has been made aware that one of the occupants is disabled, even if they don't have a blue badge, but they don't. All of us here wait with baited breath should such a case ever make it to court.

Don't think it will be this case, Fruitcake. :rotfl:

I'm lost with what a lot of you are saying. Should I still appeal using the method in the newbies sticky?
