Excel appeal rejected - now to IAS??

croppers123

please can someone advice.

I received a PCN from Excel Parking in March. I work in the local area and have a Permit issued by work for the car park. The permit was not in the windscreen on the day and I received a PCN.
Since receiving the PCN I have sent a copy of the permit (I have not declared who the driver was). I have since received a letter from excel informing me my appeal was unsuccessful and I can either pay the £40 fine or appeal to IAS, and they will no longer accept any appeals?

from my understanding the IAS route is pointless.

How do I respond? should I send the standard reply with the pre-populated letter from the "newbie's thread" or just ignore any future correspondence?

Advice is to now ignore everything except court documents

Complain to your employer. Get your Union rep involved if you have one.

You can now either ignore anything and everything you get for the next six years except real court papers, or make an IAS appeal then ignore anything and everything you get for the next six years except real court papers.

The NEWBIES FAQs thread post #3 tells you your options and recommends you now sit tight and take no steps at all. Ignore debt collector letters but be aware to watch out for BW Legal (or other solicitor) letters and search the forum for similar threads to see how to respond, at that time.

Except, can your work get the stupid 'charge' cancelled or lobby the overall site landowner on your behalf to cancel it? Excel don't own the car park so they answer to someone who holds their contract and that person can cancel this drivel.

Excel has a policy .... IT'S NO TO EVERYTHING
IAS has a policy ..... THEY AGREE WITH THE PPC. SO IT'S A NO

It's just a complete scam and if does go to court, this merry go round scam to extort money must be pointed out.

Thanks. It looks like I'll just be ignoring everything except solicitors papers.

Just out of interest. What's the difference between ignoring all letters from the very start and now, if the PCN companies just say no to any type of appeal?

So that they cannot tell a court you have totally ignored the issue (till you had to attend a hearing)

croppers123

Ok thanks.

Redx

to start a paper trail of evidence, showing you tried to appeal sensibly and to sort it out prior to a court hearing

be seen to be doing the right thing , in writing, with evidence on paper

Makes you look entirely reasonable in case this ever ends up in a hearing. Ignoring a charge is something some Judges might see as bad form on the consumer's part (it's not, because we know the entire thing is a con, but you have to play to the Judge).
