Parking Ticket outside Sainsbur's (Horizon)

Danny30

Hi guys, late update but the ticket was cancelled by Horizon without even having to go to popla. Thanks for all your help.

By the way are the template letters on the Newbies Stick thread all up to date? My brother got a ticket from parking eye in a morrissons car park. I copied the BPA template letter on the first page (below).

Dear Sirs

Re: PCN No. ....................

I challenge this 'PCN' as keeper of the car.

I believe that your signs fail the test of 'large lettering' and prominence, as established in ParkingEye Ltd v Beavis. Your unremarkable and obscure signs were not seen by the driver, are in very small print and the terms are not readable to drivers.

There will be no admissions as to who was driving and no assumptions can be drawn. You must either rely on the POFA 2012 and offer me a POPLA code, or cancel the charge.

Should you obtain the registered keeper's data from the DVLA without reasonable cause, please take this as formal notice that I reserve the right to sue your company and the landowner/principal, for a sum not less than £250 for any Data Protection Act breach. Your aggressive business practice and unwarranted threat of court for the ordinary matter of a driver using my car without causing any obstruction nor offence, has caused significant distress to me.

I do not give you consent to process data relating to me or this vehicle. I deny liability for any sum at all and you must consider this letter a Section 10 Notice under the DPA. You are required to respond within 21 days. I have kept proof of submission of this appeal and look forward to your reply.

Yours faithfully,

Coupon-mad

Yes, they are up to date. I last edited the NEWBIES thread this month.

But do not rush into POPLA as Morrisons ones are easy to get cancelled before POPLA:

Always works, even without a receipt (but best from a genuine customer who can prove patronage). In years of using that email address for people I have helped, I've never seen Morrisons NOT cancel one.
