McDonalds Car Park Gatwick: Parking Charge for not Validating a Ticket

waamo

Possibly but I wouldn't trust the assessors not to fall into the trap of admitting being the driver, especially if the ppc point it out in their reply to the appeal.

Thank you both for the inputs, appreciated. I will read again and see it could be emphasised the fact that I will be appealing as the keeper a bit more and then...
Ready to be submitted? am I missing something important?

Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

You need to check and amend the non POFA part of your appeal. If there was a windscreen ticket then the POFA timescales are day 28 to 56 for the NTK to arrive, the date of the alleged event being day zero.

If ANPR is used, then the NTK must arrive by day 14, the date of the alleged event being day zero.

You said it didn't arrive by day 28, which isn't part of the POFA requirements. It's by day 14 or between day 28 and 56. You need to point out to the assessor which part it has failed.

Thanks for the PM. As I haven't commented on this thread I can't see the need to add to the advice you've already been given.

But if you do want advice, here is some for anyone visiting McD's

Dear P3dr0,

Thank you for submitting your parking charge Appeal to POPLA.

An Appeal has been opened with the reference XXXXX.

MET Parking Services have told us they do not wish to contest the Appeal. This means that your Appeal is successful and you do not need to pay the parking charge.

Yours sincerely

MET Parking Services have told us they do not [STRIKE]wish to contest the Appeal[/STRIKE] *. This means that your Appeal is successful and you do not need to pay the parking charge.

Fixed that for POPLA.

*......have any real case to pursue, they just took a chance on scamming you via threat, intimidation and harassment, but now you've caught them out, they'll slink back under their stone and await their next victim.

Funny what certain words can sometimes mean!
