Euro Car Parks PCN - little advice on additional wording please?

Billco_2

Hey guys

Well usual story. Someone got a PCN for parking in a pub car park, with a broken pay meter that swallowed about a fiver of change.

They went in and told the staff of the pub who said they would call someone out to fix it. Didn't know there was ANPR on the gates and so through the post comes the dreaded ticket.

I've copied the first stage template for BPA appeals, but I just wanted to add 2 paragraphs to it and i'm finding that my own wording kind of stands out like a sore thumb from the templates.

Any advice greatly appreciated of course

"An attempt was made to pay for parking, however the meter was faulty and swallowed approximately £5 of change."

"Having a disabled person on board, (with blue badge clearly displayed), the driver was not in a position to explore the rest of the car park hoping to find any other options, and therefore entered the premises and informed the staff of the situation and the faulty machine, who then informed the driver that they would contact the operator and get someone out."

Thanks in advance!:beer:

dont add those as they are from a driver`s perspective

if this is a postal NTK, use the blue text appeal "as is" , staying as KEEPER

IDEALLY an occupant of the vehicle MAKES A COMPLAINT TO THE LANDHOLDER with wordings similar to your additions and insists on a cancellation (without naming the driver) and states that they are in breach of the EA2010, so cancel

Fair points - advice taken onboard. Thankyou

Have already sent a scathing complaint email to Wetherspoons, using a modified version of the letter drafted here: http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showtopic=83766

I'm hoping they come back and just cancel it but I'm just trying to prepare my ECP appeal if they don't!
