    Go into the McD's and get the manager to cancel it. Have a rant in front of other customers but polite enough not to appear a troublemaker, merely a very annoyed victim of a scam that you know the manager can phone to cancel. Obvs take the offending scam PCN with you.

    Other than that, to see how to appeal, get off this thread and read the sticky thread 'NEWBIES PLEASE READ THESE FAQS FIRST'. Top of this forum, page one of the threads, no link given as it's already only one click away.

    Just copy and paste in the next 'Reply' box in the 'POPLA Decisions' sticky.

    Well done in seeing MET off.

  • Hi
    I have a similar issue. My daughter parked in Starbucks car Park and went to McDonald's. As the registered keeper of the car I received an NTK letter in post. No PCN was placed on the windscreen tho. The date of the alleged offence was 01/01/2018 and the issue date of the notice was 07/07/18. I appealed the notice as the keeper of the vehicle on grounds of unclear signage and the fact they didn't issue the notice within 14 days of the alleged incident. They rejected my aappeal saying the signage was clear but mentioned nothing about the 14days.. Do you think I have grounds to appeal to popla?? Thanks

    Yes you do, but please start your own thread.

    Offering advice to two people about two separate incidents can only lead to confusion.

  • Hi there MET victims

    I HAVE GOOD NEWS! I received a parking ticket from MET parking last month. I parked in the McDonald's car park in Southall. I received a ticket for £50 (later increased to £100) because they claimed I was not on site at the time of the survey. I wasn't HAHHAHAHAHHA!!!!

    I think you've had too much Royal Wedding bubbly, mate.

  • The royal wedding party pales in comparison to my MET parking victory appeal! I've had a couple bottles with the £100 I saved. I dedicate this victory to the all on this forum.

    You do realise you didn't actually tell us you'd appealed and won?!

    You just said: ''good news...I got a PCN saying I wasn't there, and I wasn't''.

    And I thought, ''so what?'' because it sounded like you were just laughing about getting a PCN!
