PPN Debt Recovery and Prosecution Service Letter?!

JST222

Hi all,

I have trawled through forums regarding this issue and I am still slightly concerned.

Whilst commuting I was quite often late for the train and in my rush on several occasions my ticket fell from the dashboard or fell on the floor. I was usually successful with these appeals to indigo and never heard anything back regarding others.

Now I have received a letter in the post demanding £100 or the fee will rise to £165 and then to the Magistrates.

Does anyone have any recent examples of how they approached this? I received the letter yesterday and the offence date is 12 May 2016 - I am concerned that I may well be on the receiving end of one or two more thinking about it as I am not 100% sure how many of the 4 or 5 that I received over the year were successful. (I'm sure most were). I got a weekly parking ticket each week.

What's the best way to approach this? I am not in the best financial position to be paying off parking fines but as a student I do not want to be at risk of a criminal record either!

Letter is from PPN Debt Recovery and Prosecution Service, states "Parking Penalty Notice" and refers to bylaw 14 (4):eek:

Have a scan but unsure how to upload.

There are lots of similar posts here re indigo station car parks, have a look to understand the difference between yours an supermarket car parks.

Please read the Sticky thread for NEWBES as well as search for other posts about car parks covered y Byelaws.

You will need to appeal this as Keeper to the car park operator, but you can ignore debt collectors. The NEWBIES thread explains this.

I believe the landowner has six months from the date of the alleged incident to make a claim for trespass against the driver. The parking company are telling lies if they say the keeper is liable for a parking charge, but you need to go through the appeals process to get rid of it. Do not under any circumstances reveal who was drivng.

Not the Registered Keeper though they write to the RK on the assumption they are one or the other

Thanks for the clarification. I shall save it for further reference.
