APCOA PCN

AidanB123

Hi, I have received a PCN through the post for the Tesco car park in St Stephens (Hull). I was there for well within the 2 hour time slot and spent the £5 required in Tesco to validate the parking. I shop there regularly and refuse to believe I failed to validate the parking (reinforced by the fact there are now Hull Daily Mail articles stating this has happened to many people shopping there around that time period). The apparent incident occurred on the 3rd October and the PCN was issued on the 4th November so I haven’t got my receipt to prove I shopped there. Please may I have some advice on if I can appeal this and how I do it successfully? (The images of the PCN are attached if this helps) Thanks

Advice given on those threads remains valid for you.
ETA Apologies, first link seems not to have been edited incorrectly by me and is now broken!

So basically all I need to do is appeal using the ‘One size fits all’ template and that should settle things?

Yes - I note your use of the word 'should'.

Be prepared for an appeal refusal.

@Le_Kirk, your first link above doesn't work.

Not necessarily

Yes you use the blue text template from the newbies FAQ sticky thread near the top of the forum , appealing as keeper

If they reject your appeal , you appeal to Popla as keeper mainly using POFA , no keeper liability

No blabbing about who was driving not to anyone

Complaints should also be made about this fiasco to the BPA and to Tesco too

You seem to have missed (when you carefully read the other Hull faulty machine scam threads) that we also want all three of you to make a complaint to Steve Clark at the BPA.  We want APCOA sanctioned for pretending the machine was working, and we want all PCNs refunded to any idiots dumb enough to have paid.

OBVIOUSLY NO SAYING WHO WAS DRIVING...THIS IS BASIC STUFF WITH APCOA ONES.

@KeithP you are right and now I cannot find the one to which I was referring.  Still searching.

This OP needs to complain to Steve Clark, as do the other 2 posters there.

All these PCNs MUST be refunded.
