Metrolink PCN

Lfc2018

Hi everyone, just a quick question about which route I should go down to appeal an abused patron parking PCN from care parking.

I’ve read the newbies thread and was initially going to send the template after 28 days, however after reading the small print on the back of the ticket it says:
“Failure to pay the parking charge notice within 28 day from the date of issue may result in the charge being passed to the registered keeper of the vehicle.”
This makes it look to me like they’re covered for not sending a NTK as the fine is for whoever parked there and only if it is not paid is it passed on to the keeper?

I’ve looked at the pics on the care parking website and there is nothing wrong with how its parked so I can only pressume the ticket has been issued for supposedly not using the tram. In this case would I not be better off appealing to say that is false, as they can’t prove otherwise?

Thanks in advance ����

You seem to be thinking that they might actually read what you write in your appeal.

Send the blue text appeal unchanged - no alterations or additions necessary.

Send it as the keeper of the vehicle.

If it was a windscreen ticket, then as advised in post #1 of the NEWBIES sticky thread, wait until day 26 before sending it.

The reason for sending it then is explained in the NEWBIES thread.

No they can't avoid sending a NtK with a few lines on the back of a windscreen ticket. If they could they'd all be doing it.

The primary reason 28 days is suggested for an appeal for a windscreen ticket is to screw with their systems in the hope they'll overlook issuing you your NtK (a sure winner at POPLA).

So send your appeal at 28 days, expect a rejection and a POPLA code.

In the meantime take a look at this Metrolink/Care case and the POPLA appeal in post #9 should be a good guide for you.

as mentioned above, with it being a windscreen ticket, send the blue text template on day 26 following the event

Care dont seem to bother with sending an NTK so lose on that point alone when a KEEPER appeals (without blabbing about who was driving), even after 6 years they really are inept at this

and edit your post and remove any hint of who was driving and do not make any assumptions as to their motives

just follow the same path as all the other METROLINK threads on here , including popla (which they always fail at)

that link you were given is a good starting point

Thank you for the replies! And the link - I’ve had a good read, very helpful �� I will take the advice given and go down that route then.
Just one last quick one, it also says in the small print “All correspondence must include your name, a serviceable UK address, the name and address of driver (if different), the vehicle registration and the reference number of the charge you wish to appeal.” So legally do I not have the provide that information even though it states I should?

They lie.

You are under no obligation to name the driver.
