I followed advice I had read on here to dispute an parking fine from PCM on the grounds it was excessive. I used the template letter, and have now got back a rejection letter from PCM Ltd (as expected) telling me to look up the Bevis vs ParkingEye case.
In this thread, which I've only just found, it advises against that. But what happens if I have tried that and its been rejected. What's the best course of action now?
In my case the situation is I parked in a private car park that I am entitled to free parking in as I am a member of the gym in the building.
As its January, the gym is packed out, meaning the gym's allocated parking spaces were full, so I parked in one of the many free spaces.
The car park is underground in London for offices, gym and residence in the building directly above.
I had parked in one the of office spaces that we empty and 2 spaces along from the gym allocated spaces at 6.30pm, so after the majority of office workers had gone home, hence all the free spaces.
Many thanks in advance for any help!

Again, you shouldn't be telling anyone who parked or who was driving if you didn't tell anyone in your initial appeal. The keeper has protection that the driver doesn't.
What happened when you complained to the gym?
PCM are IPC members. What to do after the initial appeal is covered in the NEWBIES. Basically, there is no next step except wait to see if you get a LBA/LBC.I married my cousin. I had to...I don't have a sister.

Sorry, what is LBA/LBC? Have googled, but not clear.
I haven't mentioned it to the gym as I've never seen the owner there, and don;t think the staff would be much help or care. I will mention it to one of them when I'm next there on Monday.0 -
The acronyms are in the NEWBIES thread. Which also says the first step is robust complaint.
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Is it not easier to sometimes just reply instead of directing everyone to that thread?

LBA = Letter Before Action.
LBC = Letter Before Claim.
Hve a look at post #5 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread for an explanation of most of the abbreviations used here.0 -

No because we get dozens of request every day and the handful of volunteers who give their time for free just don't have time to answer every question over and over again when it is already answered in one place.I married my cousin.

No because we may as well not have it, if we have to repeat ourselves a dozen times a day.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Isn't every letter relating to a parking fine a "Letter Before County Court Claim"?
Sorry couldn't find the answer in the newbie thread. Hope I dont get banned?0 -

But you would rather repeat "check the newbie thread" countless times instead of letting someone else answer?
Makes perfect sense and sounds very helpful. Thank you!0
