    is set to driver by default!
    Yes and we've said before, if you try to put in a long appeal and it chucks it out as too long, any adjustment to the boxes like that, causes the default to reset to 'driver' again...watch out before submitting it!
    One question though? If it went to POPLA, can you appeal on more than one ground (e.g. you had the right to be there, inadequate signage, etc...)?
    Yes of course, I encourage ten page long POPLA appeals and you will find examples if you search this forum for 'UKPC POPLA no keeper liability NTK'
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Just a quick update on this;

    Having complained to the landowner (my employer) the ticket has been canceled! They looked at the pictures and agreed no offence had been committed. Apparently, we're also taking control of our car park away from UKPC and back in house. (There wasn't really any need for enforcement as you can't open the barrier without a pass!).

    Thanks to everyone here who offered advice. Hopefully this thread serves useful to anyone in a similar situation!
  • well done!

I accept no liability for the accuracy of any such posts and users are advised that, if they wish to obtain formal legal advice specific to their case, they must seek instruct and pay a solicitor.

    That was my thinking as well. :j Apparently it was too many complaints to the landowner about unfair tickets (surprise, surprise!).
