National Parking Enforcement Ltd. "Driver Failed to Correctly Register Vehicle"

The_Deep

Many judges regard failure to properly enter a VRN as a trifle.

Nine times out of ten these tickets are scams and will fail in court so complain to your MP.

Parliament is well aware of the MO of these private parking companies, and on 15th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these shysters. Codes of Practice are being drawn up, an independent appeals service will be set up, and access to the DVLA's date base more rigorously policed, persistent offenders denied access to the DVLA database and unable to operate.

Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers, but until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.

Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many of these Private Parking Companies.

The PCN recieved from National Parking Enforcement Ltd says"Once an appeal has been received the charge will be placed on hold until a decision is made." Does this mean that if you are still in the lower charge period that the charge is put on hold at £60 or do you, as a result of the appeal taking you over 14 days end up with the increased demand for £100?

Surely you would have to enquire of the PPC about that. They are slippery customers and delight in using weasel words.

Surely you want the MSE 100% discount. I doubt anyone here will be interested in discussing the irrelevant 14 day bribe period for mugs.

Have you read the sticky thread for NEWBIES yet and sent that appeal template in blue text from The Keeper?

Have you received a NTK yet, and if so have you checked to see if it is PoFA complaint or not?

What happened when you complained to the landowner?

Have you complained to your MP yet.

Thanks The Deep. Trouble is you can't get anyone on a phone and any other way enables a "delay in responding" again reducing the "grace period".

Who cares? It's NPE! No-one in their right mind rings or pays that bunch.

We already know what the decision will be. Surely you do too?

This bunch are ex-clampers who changed their name from NPE to NPE (different first word!) but have never cleaned up their act, as shown by the fact they are IPC members. Pointless appeal, pointless even thinking about the scam, certainly no picking up the phone thinking they have customer service staff!

Ignore the eejits after sending the forum template appeal to look more reasonable than them, and don't tell them who was driving. See the NEWBIES thread.

Come back if NPE try a small claim within 6 years and keep/laugh at the letters.

Thanks Fruitcake. I was thinking more in terms of a delaying tactic. Has anyone ever had a first level appeal accepted?

Is this related to your thread that you started just three days ago?

If so, please ask a Board Guide to merge your threads.

Please keep all posts related to one incident to a single thread. Thanks.
