Hello

I have read the newbie thread and the template that is there.

I just want to ask in relation to this (PCN euro car parks) before sending the "template"

The PCN letter recived says the "fine" is £100 and tyet when I go to the apepal page online it says £60.
Is there anything else at this point to be ware of before sending?

thanks

    Yes. My thoughts are:

    Why are you trying PLAN B before PLAN A?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I am not and don't intend to. I did it out of intrigue and don't understand why the letter says £60 but the website £100.

    thanks

    Because the letter offers a mugs' discount.

    I'll assume and I think I have heard there are folk out there trying to topple these schemes? Where is that in the big scheme of things, is the government yet invovled?

    Five years of work so far for the Government to break the rogue mentality.  I'm involved.

    I answered the same question just 2 hours ago:

    Five years, good god. I will not hold my breath. The profits are staggering.

    No, did you read?  The law was enacted in 2019 and work on the code is finalising now.  Lucky I didn't take that view - I stay upbeat - given I've worked on this project, unpaid (and often 'virtually' face to face with PPC World looking daggers at me) for 4 years now.

    Hello

    When appealing online, there is a "registered keeper" or "none of the above" to choose - what is the recommended one to pick?

    I am still wondering:

    Looks like you are trying PLAN B before exhausting PLAN A.
