APPEAL Rejection help

charliebear123

Hello


I am hoping someone can help in guiding me with the best way to handle thia.


I received a letter a few months ago with a penalty notice from a CPM managed site. I followed the instructions on NEWBIE on here and sent off my appeal using the template. We since moved house and a couple of bits of our mail slipped through the redirection. I recently dropped by the old property and was given a bunch of mail. This being one of them. Subsequently, I have received the 'rejection' letter from the appeal too late to get back within the 21 days.


The letter back from the appeal states that there was a sign to show it was a private property car park. However, the sign was in tiny tiny writing, behind a dirty window in the far corner of the building and not clearly visible at all. They are arguing that there was signage to say it is private, and that's it.


My question is, as I am now outide of the 21 day appeal date ( 7 days), what is the best way to move this forward from here and appeal their decision;.


Many thanks

They also haven't supplied me with POPLA code. Is that something they should have done?

UKCPM are IPC operators - no POPLA for those, just the discredited IAS. Not worth an appeal there even if you were in time.

This is probably how you have been 'caught out'. A grouchy shopkeeper or a busybody Norris Cole with a camera.

You must write formally to UKCPM to instruct them of your new address and that anything further must be sent to your new address. Send first class post with a free Certificate of Posting from your PO Counter. Do not send 'Signed For/Recorded Delivery'.

Then you ignore anything further that comes to you (including debt collector letters) other than a LBC or MCOL Claim (Google both for explanation). Come back if you receive either.

Please read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #1 for the game you're now involved with and post #4 for debt collector stage (which you are now approaching). Get ahead of the game, then you're not startled by anything you're not expecting.
