PCN & NTK issued after 19 days, using ANPR

Blakhawkdown

I have received a Parking charge notice from Vehicle Control services limited, identifying themselves as members of the IPC. Due to overstaying the maximum allowed period of 180 minutes, instead being 250 minutes, the keeper of the vehicle has been sent the charge notice containing photographs of the vehicle registration upon entry and exit. The contravention date was 14/11/2018 and the issue date was 03/12/2018. In the appeal against this notice, the first online option to use appears to be that no notice was attached to the windscreen, explaining that the notice was issued for posting after the 14 day period required for Pofa2012 to apply.
By claiming that Pofa2012 does not apply, they cannot pursue the keeper of the vehicle for charges.

Is there anything else I should do?

Appeal it via the initial appeal template from the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #1, which will be rejected. Thereafter, keep your head down unless/until you get a LBC or MCOL Claim (acronyms in the sticky, post #5) which will need dealing with to avoid a default CCJ against you.

Come back if you get either.

Have they mentioned Elliot v Loake?

It is the will of Parliament that these scammers be put out of business. Hopefully that will take place in the near future. The Bill has passed through the HOC without hitch, and goes to the Lords soon. In the meantime involve your MP, the poor dears are buckling under the weight of complaints about these scammers. Read this one which I wrote earlier

This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of alleged contracts for alleged parking offences, aided and abetted by a handful of low-rent solicitors. Is has been suggested by an MP that some of these companies may have connections to organised crime.

Parking Eye, CPM, Smart, (especially Smart}, and others have already been named and shamed in the House of Commons as have Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (these two law firms take hundreds of these cases to court each week), hospital car parks and residential complex tickets have been especially mentioned. They lose most of them, and have been reported to the regulatory authority by an M.P. for unprofessional conduct

The problem has become so widespread that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers.

Sir Greg Knight's Private Members Bill to curb the excesses, and perhaps close down, some of these companies passed its Third Reading in late November, and, with a fair wind, will become Law next year.

All three readings are available to watch on the internet, (some 6-7 hours), and published in Hansard. MPs have an extremely low opinion of the industry. Many are complaining that they are becoming overwhelmed by complaints from members of the public. Add to their burden, complain in the most robust terms about the scammers.
