UKPC Letter with ANPR

Coupon-mad

The alleged offence was on 10th March, but I received the notice as the registered keeper yesterday, date of issue was the 26th April. I am under the impression that a PCN must be issued within 28 days?

No idea where you got that impression, not from the NEWBIES thread, where it tells you PPCs can issue late non-POFA PCNs.

Easy to beat a non-POFA One with the templates, if this is a BPA member.

The driver cant remember for certain, and is a far distance so cant check that easily (also have a broken wrist so cant drive!). A mistaken entry is possible of course.

So today received a new ticket for not paying in a pay and display car park...

More importantly though, the driver has shown me the bank transaction proving that payment was taken at that location on that day, as card payment was used instead of cash. The driver no longer has the physical ticket as over a month has gone by.

To me, this seems straightforward enough, unless i am missing something?

Straightforward to use the template appeal from the NEWBIES thread, plus a screenshot of the bank transaction, as long as the driver is NOT implied with any words added.

I'm guessing it might be a hire/lease or company or courtesy car though, which would explain the delay. If so, then the appellant hirer/lessee needs to use the appeal by Edna Basher from one of the 3 links at the bottom of the 1st post of the NEWBIES tread (not the Fleet Manager one, obvs).

I am also guessing there was a typo in the VRN or the driver put in the wrong car VRN.

Wasn't a hire car etc, so used the standard template as below - I have added the first paragraph.

Re PCN number: REDACTED

Please see attached the screenshot of the payment that day at that location, clearly showing payment was made by the driver.

I therefore dispute your 'parking charge', as the keeper of the vehicle. I deny any liability or contractual agreement and I will be making a formal complaint about your predatory conduct to your client landowner and to my MP.

There will be no admissions as to who was driving and no assumptions can be drawn. Since your PCN is a vague template, I require ALL photos taken and an explanation of the allegation and your evidence, i.e.:

- If the allegation concerns a PDT machine, the data supplied in response to this appeal must include the record of payments made - showing partial VRNs - and an explanation of the reason for the PCN, because your Notice does not explain it.

- in all cases, you must include a close up actual photograph of the sign you contend was at the location on the material date.

Formal note:
Should you later pursue this charge by way of litigation, note that service of any legal documents by email is expressly disallowed and you are not entitled to assume that the data in this dispute/appeal remains the current address for service in the future.

Yours faithfully,
