Don't use a 2017 letter.
Read the current forum, please, and the NEWBIES FAQS sticky thread, first.

And thanks for this whole forum. Wish I'd known about it earlier. I can't find any 2018 letters about failed Fistral beach phone payments but 2017, the Gladstones failure of a Pay by Phone app on your post #2 seems usable
I can't remember seeing signs, tried to pay at the machine, had no cash and spent a frustrating 15 minutes on the phone while their voice recognition consistently failed. I believed payment had gone through then got the PCN. Have sent a first appeal (before reading this forum) and now have had their response that I still owe them £60
Is the letter above a good template?
Thanks again0 -
You haven't said who is 'them' and you do need your own NEW THREAD please!
I found this one easily, a draft POPLA appeal from just 10 days ago about a failure of a phone app by Smart Parking:

You do need to stop reading 2017 threads. Why not just search for
Fistral POPLA
No replies here again please, this thread is truly ancient, we have about 50 new threads per day...! You appear to be missing the entire current forum advice.
See my signature, and click to page one (today's posts, and the NEWBIES FAQS thread all about appeals & POPLA) using the little breadcrumb trail link that's at the top of every page.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
