Of course you don't pay.

Just read the NEWBIES thread which covers all your questions and includes a template appeal.

Please re-read what I said just hours ago (above).  Nothing has changed.

They have signposted me to the IAS.... am i screwed?

No.

You won't be paying. We already said this.  Please stop talking about owing money and affordability.

Why think you are screwed when a PPC has admitted they didn't use and can't rely on the POFA?!

Thanks, i appreciate the guidance. I read the stickies at the top of the forum, but they seemed a bit confusing as to what is in date and what is not. Sorry, I asked questions I wasn't sure on the answers to, i am sure like many others find first time around, the responses from the parking firm appeared credible, as though i was daft and quoting something irrelevant and they knew best. Coming here has been reassuring.

That's what we do.

And we change the law, too.  A powerful forum.

As previous, regarding the dart charge, get in touch with them if you make a balls up with payment of the dart charge, or forgot then they are usually helpful if this is the first time and things generally work out ok if you are polite

Yes, it's lovely place to go for a few hours on the bikes. MTB trails and a road track.


Thanks all!

No why would you be screwed
Why the wholly negative attitude

new territory for me and I can neither afford to pay not or any inflated costs at the end of a court process.... I have also got a Dart Charge PCN which i totally forgot about and it has come at a really bad time... i know it would have been easier to pay that one, but by the time i remembered, i paid, but was too late...so looking at £130 in parking charges when heating the house is a struggle.Kicking myself. 

Irrespective of whether they sent the PCN within the allowed time, they have admitted that they are not relying on POFA. Therefore, the RK cannot be held liable for a PCN issued to the DRIVER. If you have not admitted to being the driver, then they have no legal recourse to chase you as the RK. Irrespective of what the IPC monkeys decide about your appeal, they have nowhere else to go with this.

So, have a nice word with the DART people about your other issue and have a nice Xmas.

Thanks, I feel better!

I called Dart Charge just now. I have to make an online representation, which I will do which at the very least will suspend the process for a bit, if declined will at least give me 5-6 weeks to find the money to pay them.

Thought i'd update you wonderful folk.

Re: Parking with ease - I appealed, they responded and ignored all the valid points in my appeal so i have sent for adjudication. I am not hopeful but not to fussed either now. Their case is contradictory, full of assumptions about driver v keeper liability; more holes than a sieve.

DartCharge - my success. I paid for the crossings late. I then opened an account so it didn't happen again and I pleased my case, which was essentially that i hadn't deliberately not paid, I just forgot, i was really annoyed with myself. i told them I  opened an account to show that i had taken steps to avoid this happening again. I also said I am skint and used the appeal process to buy  myself some time to potentially have to save the money to pay the PCN's. I was brutally honest in my appeal, because I didn't actually think they would cancel the PCN's - but they did. I got a letter this morning and they have used their discretion , with a cursory 'don't do it again'. Buzzing. There's some good people in the world!!

Nicely done on the Dart front. They are pretty good at dealing with genuine errors using a common sense approach. In somewhat stark contrast to the private parking sector.
