Appeal rejected what next?

Hello from a long time lurker ;)

Appealed a parking charge notice issued by select parking who is IPC member on the grounds that the ticket was issued after 50 days so no keeper liability.

Appeal rejected stating they have up to 6 months to issue PCN for non-POFA cases and extended the time frame to pay reduced rate by another 2 weeks.

The rejection letter does not mention about appealing to IPC. Is this a waiting game now?

Thanks in advance for your help.

    Your question is answered there


    Note the futility of appeals to IPC companies and the IAS

    Apologies if it sounds like that. Read the newbie thread which was very helpful in putting out an appeal. Could not find a reference to non-POFA 6 month time limit for serving PCN which seem to be confusing. Since they dont mention appealing to their cousins at IPC, wonder where the keeper stands?

    They, by their own admission, aren't chasing the keeper. They cannot hold the keeper liable so they are simply assuming the keeper was the driver.

    Further appeals are futile. Wait and see if they send a formal Letter Before Claim.

    Thank you.

    Letter before claim = start of court action?

    It was not a car park but employee parking bays for a nearby office. The parking charge was issued by selectparking.co.uk

    Car was parked after trading hours around 8pm for about 2 minutes while collecting child from next door. The evidence provided showed 2 photos which were taken 25 seconds apart.

    2 minutes is well under the 10 minutes grace period, as it definitely 2 minutes?

    So far they have never been to court. They are small time operators.

    @ Half-way: Yes, definitely under 2 minutes. Remember running into next door to collect the child. The proof only shows 25 seconds difference. The PCN issued had duration of parking marked as N/A. Thanks.

    @waamo: Thank you
