  • Nobody here will tell you to pay it. It is not a fine,  it is a scam but you must not ignore it or it can give you problems ! 

    If you do not want to pay it then you must now do this properly and follow all the steps in the 'Newbies' guide.
    Also do LOTS of reading of other posts to get a better idea of how it all works.

    It makes no difference what the figure is , if you are not paying it. Ie , if you are willing to put your case before a judge

    The £60 was an early payment discount of £100 for the PCN , minus 40% as the discount. The original PCN charge and as shown on the signage would have been £100 , so no surprise that it's now rated at £100 , the full amount

    I hope that you didn't expect the IAS to uphold your appeal ? We didn't , their track record is appalling

    thanks for your response,but my pcn it was under appeal, it shouldn't increase the amount or Im wrong ?

    The adkjuication has no legal srtanding and is far from impartial, ignore it.

    Yes it is £100.  It was always £100, only they offered you a bribe NOT to appeal.

    My advice is that (until the rogue industry is regulated and acts more fairly) paying any sum to a private parking firm for an easy life is the wrong thing to do, IMHO.

    It isn't a fine.  Almost everyone loses at IAS (they boast of 96% rejected!) because it's very obviously a kangaroo court. You don't have to pay.  

    People who pay fund the next few PCNs.  You wouldn't pay a phishing emailer to 'make it go away'.  This is no different.  Please think about it and we are here to help you through it.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • If I knocked on your door and said " Give me £100 "  what would you do ?

    I hope that I know the answer to that and you would say   " No it is my money,  I have earned it and it is mine.  I have to use it to buy things I need, pay for food and buy things I want for my family"  

    You wouldn't give it to me so don't give it to them.

    I hope you realsise that according to one MP in the HoC recently,  some of these companies have links to organised crime.  By opaying them you may be helping to fund people smuggling, modern slavery and who knows what else. Never pay thes companies.
