Initial Parking - I paid but forgot the number plate

Fruitcake

As well as amending the appeal as advised by @Le_Kirk, I suggest you say something like, "Payment was made, see copy of the ticket attached, therefore no breach of parking contract occurred," not forgetting of course to include a copy of the ticket.

It's up to you if you want to include a redacted copy of a bank statement. Personally I wouldn't because I wouldn't want the keeper's name to be linked to the payment.

Thanks, guys.  Sent as:

Re PCN number: 

I dispute your 'parking charge', as the keeper of the vehicle. I deny any liability or contractual agreement and I will be making a complaint about your predatory conduct to your client landowner.

There will be no admissions as to who was driving and no assumptions can be drawn. Since your PCN is a vague template, I require an explanation of the allegation and your evidence. You must include a close up actual photograph of the sign you contend was at the location on the material date as well as your images of the vehicle.

If the allegation concerns a PDT machine, the data supplied in response to this appeal must include the record of payments made - showing partial VRNs - and an explanation of the reason for the PCN, because your Notice does not explain it.

If the allegation involves an alleged overstay of minutes, your evidence must include the actual grace period agreed by the landowner.

Payment was made - please see copy of the ticket attached, therefore no breach of parking contract occurred.  see attached ticket from the date and time of alleged event, which was given to me by the driver, upon informing them of the letter.

Predictable, and inaccurate, response (I did pay - and sent evidence).  POPLA next?

Don't bother with POPLA. You'd lose.

They've offered to settle at £20 (it's a major keying error) so either pay that now, or play the long game for 6 years.

What's the 'long game'?  I can gladly ignore letters for six years...  I feel much aggrieved at paying for something I've already paid for!

Putting up with (ignorable) debt collector dross, but having to deal with and defend a court claim if issued, keeping the PPC informed of any house move (to avoid a claim being made at a former address, resulting in a possible CCJ), for the next six years. That's the 'long game'.
