I received a PCN for my work hire vehicle.

Because I was given the option to, I received an email confirming it has been received and the PCN will be frozen.Coupon-mad said:Why did you appeal by email if that wasn't offered as a route to appeal, on the PCN? Makes no sense.
This morning I received a further email stating the appeals portal is open and they are not accessing appeals via email.
It was convenient for me that is also why, but thank you RedX I will pop the appeal in the mail instead.1 -

Use the portal, don't post...a complete last resort, only for PPCs that have no portal.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Ok, so do I complain about the lack of relevant options in regards to a hirer/keeper to the BPA? The portal has no option for me to selectCoupon-mad said:Use the portal, don't post...a complete last resort, only for PPCs that have no portal.0 -
Was there no option such as "OTHER"2

Just choose the last one, which is the only one without ''I did this'' in it. It's clearly the one to use.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

I thought about that last option but decided on 2 alternatives instead
I never mentioned popping an appeal in the mail !!
I was quite specific in how to mail it as Umkomaas pointed out2 -
I'm not sure about using any other choice from the portal other than what would be specific so the best option is by mail. Obviously I'm not going to just pop it in the mail, just a turn of phrase.

But never ever send anything to a parking company or their solicitors using any service that requires a signature.All that does is give the intended recipient the opportunity to not sign and hence refuse delivery.All you have then is proof of non-delivery. Not quite what you want.If you want to use Royal Mail, then send it by standard first class post obtaining a free Certificate of Posting from the Post Office counter. The item is deemed delivered two working days later.Keep that Certificate of Posting as proof.3 -
This is why using the portal and taking a screenshot is better. Tick the one that doesn't say ''I''.
