    Seconded.  Ignore them and the £170 debt demands.

    Please stick around and take part in the upcoming final DLUHC Public Consultation, coming soon. 
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • Will do. What is it and where will it be found?

    Just ignore it and the silly debt collection letters that might follow. In all the APCOA cases we've dealt with here, none has come to anything. 
    Thank you. The original PN was for back in October, so will this time out in April anyway?

    It should do, but it's only a pretend Penalty Notice. APCOA trying to intimidate you with the term 'Penalty'.  These lookalikes can sometimes mutate into a 'contractual Parking Charge Notice', APCOA flipping and flopping between them. So be prepared to have some different headings on silly letters post-April. Nothing to concern yourself about though.

    Just come back on this thread if that happens, it will be interesting to see how the DLUHC might react to that (if the consultation has still not concluded). 
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Hello,

    Newbie here. I have read the threads but unsure what the course of action should be.

    A Parking charge at Hassocks station was left stuck to the drivers side window for not paying for parking.

    There is no evidence the driver paid but as the app was glitching & could not be logged in to they do not have ‘evidence’.

    This is the parking charge attached.
    unsure if due to wording on the ticket it can be appealed by the keeper of the vehicle?
    Nothing has been received in the post and currently 16days since window ticket received.

    Any help really appreciated.
    thank you.
