    We know. But that's the irrelevant deadline for paying the bribe. Why are you even reading it? Did we say to worry about the 14 days? No.

    I suggest you re-read the advice you already have from us, we told you how to appeal. These are nigh on impossible to lose at POPLA.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Who did? Did Matalan intervene? If so, at what level, local shop manager/customer services or Matalan HO?
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

  • Smart Parking sent me an email saying they have cancelled the PCN. Matalan were no help.
  • hi, I'm in a similar situation. did they cancel it in response to your appeal with that template or did you chase up matalan HQ?

    Possibly a bit of both. Go and complain to Matalan, at the same time follow the NEWBIES FAQ sticky advice about sending the initial appeal to the PPC.

    Please start a new thread if you need more advice after reading and understanding the sticky. Please note, it cannot be skim read and understood in 5 minutes!
