Time limit for receiving PCN through the post.

The rejection email reads:

Thank you for your appeal against the above PCN.

We have carefully considered your appeal but on this occasion, I am writing to inform you that your appeal has been unsuccessful as a breach of the terms and conditions of parking occurred.

The decision has been made on the basis that:
Our records indicate that vehicle registration ******* (as shown in the photographic evidence above) was not authorised to be parked at the location, therefore the above vehicle is in breach of the terms and conditions stipulated on all signage displayed within the car park.

Signage clearly states “AUTHORISED VEHICLES ONLY”
It is the driver’s responsibility when leaving their vehicle unattended to observe the area and check parking is permitted.

There is clear signage placed throughout the parking areas stating that the land is private property and restrictions apply.
The photographic evidence of your vehicle shows that you are within a clear view of one of the many warning signs throughout the development. All signage states the terms and conditions of parking within the restricted area. Upon reading the signage you have contractually agreed to pay a parking charge fee as restrictions were breached. It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure parking is permitted prior to leaving the vehicle unattended within the restricted area.

Please be advised, the above Parking Charge Notice has been issued under Contract Law as a breach of the parking conditions has occurred.

UK CPM can obtain keeper details through the Reasonable Cause Criteria within 6 months of the incident date to the driver of the vehicle.

Please note. You now have 14 days from the date of this letter to make payment at the reduced fee of £60.00. If payment is not received within 14 days, the fee will increase to the full amount of £100.00.

What are the next steps?

Your next steps are fully explained in the NEWBIES thread.

Please read that again and discover that you will be bombarded with Debt collectors letters. Post #4 of the NEWBIES thread explains how to deal with those.

Post again on this thread if/when you receive either a Letter of Claim or official court correspondence - of course, if after having read post #2 of the NEWBIES thread you still have questions.

Sorry I have read the newbies thread and I dont fully understand.

So at the moment I don't do anything until if/when I get a Letter of Claim or official court correspondence?

But it may be an idea to put in a single point IAS appeal stating that they failed pofa so as keeper you are not liable and you told them so, meaning they have failed on timescales to transfer liability from driver to Keeper

From what I've read on here appealing to IAS is a waste of time.
So is there any point in doing the above?

Well it is another opportunity to avoid going to court.

You decide. You'll get differing opinions here on that.

So is there any downside to appealing to IAS?

Yes, hugely so, and I explain why in the NEWBIES thread already (post #3).

Yes, I've had another read if it and I won't be doing that.
