    Hi I am in a similar situation.
    I am planning on going down the stringing out for 6 months route. Just to clarify do we just reply to SABA directly via email? Or do we wait for their letter to come through the post and reply via paper mail?
    The appeals process asks if you are the keeper (but not the owner). If you state you are not the keeper it asks you to provide the name and address of the driver at the time (presumably trying to prevent POFA course of appeal).
    Any help appreciated.

    If you need help other than playing Q & A ping pong (You do the Q and ignore the A) or outside that given in other SABA threads or the NEWBIES then you should start your own thread by clicking on the  button on the main parking forum page.

    Seventh Anniversary First Post
    Dear All,

    I am a first time poster so please bear with me.
    I received a PCN from SABA for parking on Railway properly incorrectly (not in designated bay) last November. I have run the usual ping pong mail routine but am now receiving the threatening letters (some quoting Railway ByeLaws) initially from their Debt Collectors' and am receiving threatening letters now so called solicitors QDR.. 
    I was of the understanding that get past the 6 months mark and you are first past the post (Tell them I am taking legal advise then no action can be taken?
    Question is, does the current Covid 19 situation allow them to extend the 6 month time limit as per the byelaws.
    Any advice most gratefully taken.

    King Regards

    No.  Please start your own thread, this one isn't yours. 
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Did you have a question about a PCN that you have received?  You have posted on an old thread from June 2019.  Did you mean to start a new thread of your own?

    I am in the same situation with SABA at LBZ in this car park. Booked on App, indistinguishable between this car park and others and this was the recommended car park.
