Armtrac private pcn appeal success

cezza100

Hi all,

I just wanted to say thank you to this forum for the advice, information and guides for appealing a private PCN with Armtrac.

I parked at Rockpool cafe, godrevy, cornwall in the summer and accidentally input one letter incorrectly in the parking ticket. I didn't realise this until I got the letter to registered keeper in the post. I was so worried about appealing this, having read about how these companies can treat you but I used the template provided and added my evidence in my appeal. 

Armtrac thankfully accepted my appeal and recognised that I entered one letter incorrectly and so have cancelled the charge.

Thank you again for saving me the money and giving me the tools to appeal.

They should not have tried their luck in the fiirst place and would very likely have lost in court had you fought them  Have you complained to your MP?  They have wasted your time, now waste theirs, read this,

Well done.

They had no reason to issue the PCN at all.  Horrible greedy ex clamper company who will struggle under the new statutory framework next year.

Have just returned from Cornwall and Amtrac issued me with a £100 fine because the flimsy permit they supply for the place i was staying furled in the sun and they came round at 4am and issued a ticket, even though the permit was clearly in the windscreen. They did not supply a clear case for the permit to prevent this issue happening and I was wondering if anyone has any advice about whether it would be worth appealing as the permit was there at all times? Thank you

It is not a fine, Of course you should appeal, it is a scam.  Please read the newbies and start your pen thread.

Thank you D P Dance. Amtrac sound as if they will pursue you. I am new to the site and haven't come across newbies yet

Front page of the forum you will find some ANNOUNCEMENTS ringed in pink/red and one of them is marked NEWBIES read this first.  That is the one you want.  When you've read it, please start your own thread/discussion

There won't be a link because you already have one at the top of every page. See my signature.
