PCN Appeal Help

  • I'm just using the template from post #3 for my POPLA appeal but I have noticed in my NtK that the evidence they have was from a warden operated camera system aka mobile phone.


    Even though the signage states the ANPR may be in use and I haven't seen any evidence of it in use, shall I still include point "8) The ANPR System is Neither Reliable nor Accurate" in my appeal?

    Never use that old chestnut!

    And you will have to post your POPLA appeal, with proof that the code was only just supplied to you by the BPA on xx/xx/18, following a complaint, and as such you ask that POPLA honour this promise:

    ''In exceptional circumstances, the assessor may be able to extend the 28 day time limit. If you are submitting your appeal late you must state fully and clearly the reasons for the delay. You must also provide any evidence you have to justify the delay, along with your appeal. The assessor will then decide whether the appeal can still be considered.''

    I've just drafted my appeal to POPLA and was about to submit it online but the POPLA code I was given is invalid. Do the POPLA codes time out?

    Yes they do. After about 32 days. But you already know that - see post #19.

    Send your PoPLA appeal by email or post, explaining your 'exceptional circumstances'.

    I just fired an email to POPLA as I haven't had any response from them in over a week but I received a letter from PCS saying:



    "Thank you for your communication regarding the above Parking Charge Notice (PCN).
    After carefully considering the case, we have cancelled the above parking charge on this occasion. I have noted our records to ensure that we do not send any further letters about his parking charge."


    Result!!! Looks like my 26 page appeal to POPLA did the job.


    Thank you to everybody who has helped on this thread and forum.

    Long ones can intimidate those not used to receiving them. :)

    Good result!
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
