Parking charge notice with a mistake on my numberplate..

Options
I have just got a Parking Charge Notice, they have written down my number plate in correctly. They have written LI5 instead of L15, I can not even log into their payment or appeal website with my correct number plate, I can however do it if I spell it incorrectly. Can I get away with this as they have actually not written down my number plate? They have taken about 10 pictures of my car....

Grateful for some proper advice! Thank you!!1

    Same as every other case like it, and you should submit the NEWBIES thread appeal by post instead. I assume it's UKPC?

  • Somewhat ironic, as if you had entered LI5 instead of L15 in one of those machines where you need to enter your number, they'd have sent out a charge in a trice, and refused to accept your appeal.
  • The company is called One Parking Solution, (sorry I dont understand the NEWBIES thing), perhaps I am being very blond. Do you think this parking ticket is invalid? I cant get in to their website using my correct reg number. They did take pictures of my car, I have however read that they can not re issue the parking ticket with the correct reg number...

    One Parking Solution are VERY easy to beat by using the template in the NEWBIES thread.

    It's not one of those scam PCNs at Stanmer Park Brighton (Council owned) is it?

    The sticky thread for NEWBIES was just underneath where you clicked on the newthread.gif button.

    It tells you everything you need to know about this scam, including how to make an initial appeal using the template from post 1 you will find in said NEWBIES. Send it unaltered from The Keeper. As above, if you can't do it online, then send it first class from a post office, obtaining a free proof of posting.

    Nothing makes the PCN invalid, but it may help you later on. For the time being, just follow the tried and tested process exactly as advised in the NEWBIES.

    For clarification, you do not want to correct any mistake they have made. Without revealing who was driving, was this a windscreen ticket (NTD) or through the post (NTK).

  • It was stuck on my wind screen, IF they use the reg number they have decided my car is, they surely will not get my address? How ever if they decide to look at the pictures they took and decide that they have made a mistake and then change their ticket, is that allowed?
    The reason I feel they really have taken down/recorded the wrong reg number is that I can not access their website with my correct number plate only if I use the "i" instead of the "1"do I get in...

    You can either appeal by post as keeper, or wait for the Notice to Keeper which will be altered. Either way, easy to beat at POPLA as long as you do not imply who was driving.

    Just use the forum template from the NEWBIES thread. No link, there is only one.

    Please answer my query:
