    Thank you again to all those who have contributed to this thread with advice on the best way to tackle this PCN.

    I'm delighted to share that the charge/fine has been cancelled following an email to the landowner/retail park.

    Hi, Congrats on the win,

    Apologies for continuing this thread, do you happen to have the email for British Land. I am appealing to them also

    You aren't appealing. You are COMPLAINING.

    Yes correct, thanks again. It should be made mandatory for these companies to include consent from the landowner or manager in their PCNs. The owners would not want any association with these thieving requests. 

    £100 for a 10 min overstay!  What planet is that fair or rationale???

     I have had a similar experience with BPL  - attended a public house was there for just over an hour.  

    The car park had recently installed the car reg recognition and on a previous visit two months earlier was informed the system was not activated so no requirement to enter my registration at that point.

    I did not seen any signs to suggest the reg recognition had been activated.   

    I then recieved a PCN - Parked without registering vheicle the second visit i attended the public house who assured me that they would contact BPL and advise them to withdraw the PCN.  

    Fast forward a good while and i get a final demand to pay the fine and court action. i appealed, insert a long wait due to no email being recieved ( went in to spam folder), they were not upholding my appeal as it was out of time.  

    Contacted CAB who advised to contact POPLA -POPLA advised i would be required to contact Britannia as they could not re-issue the code to appeal.

    Contacted BPL who declined to re-issue the code 

    pay or court 

    meeting with CAB requested a SAR to BPL and submitted the appeal N244 ((?) cant remeber without looking) 

    follow-up contact CAB was advised that my case worker had left - no one had informed me / i have not recieved any letters or summonds to court, i have not had any the other sides bundle.

    I have argued that they are applying arbitrary rules that are not in line with the Equalities Act 2010 and that from the point they receieved my disabled badge the matter should have been closed.  

    Civil National Buinsness Centre (CNBC) have suggested the CCJ is for another fine inssued by UKPCL for £285.00 i appealled the charges were subsequently set-aside during a court hearing. Its acutally devastating.  I have never been in debt before, and i consider this a complete breech of mine and any others civil liberties.

    i have no idea on the staus of the BPL appeal all the information held at CAB which i do not have access to and currently number 89th to the Cilvil Courts. Finally got through they have no record of the first BPL and UKPCL was set-aside although the call staff member read something really quickly without taking breath, refused to let me speak talking over me. when i suggested that she was acutally being quite abusive as i had asked her to stop on multiple occasions and she refused, and then stated that she was hanging up the call because i had called her abusive, refused to give me her name and so am on hold again.  

    Does anyone know who id make the complaint to, i was not informed the CCJ had been applied to my account and CNBC suggested i need to contact Experian to have it removed that the case was with a different authority and to call them.

    Any help woud be greatly appreciated.

    I had a PCN recently when my EV car failed to connect to the charge point and i was required to take a taxi home, the car was there overnight, as soon as they seen a copy of my disability badge wrote apologising for any inconvenience and that my registration was added to their data base so i shouldnt accept anything like that to happen again.  

    Is there nothing we can do as a collective action to try and stop this from happening to people.  Honestly, its really upset me and i dont see how companies can get away with this level of heavy handidness in a cost of living crisis, its almost as though they just need a blanket policy spelling out that any person presenting a valid disabled parking badge the PCN should be canceled and any charges removed.  

    thanks in advance

    I'm really confused.

    For starters:

    You should NEVER ask the Citizens Advice Bureau about parking cases, because sadly they are clueless about this sector. Their online advice is plain wrong and out of date, to the point of costing people money, sadly.

    Stop asking the CAB immediately.

    If you have two different cases please start two separate threads.

    One about the CCJ - if you have a 'CCJ' (judgment against you) not just a bog standard claim form? - and one about Britannia.
