Which template is best for appealing a PCN when using a lease car (Driver left site)
20vt-rs
Posts: 731 Forumite
Hi all - I've received a PCN on the basis of "Driver left site designated for customer parking only", it was sent to me after the lease company who own the car gave them my details. The evidence page shows 4 pictures of the car with no one in it, but there is no evidence that the driver left the car-park, and even then who was driving when it parked up.
I am going to appeal on this basis (as we did visit the stores on the estate)... But which is the best template letter to use, and just saying there are no pictures of anyone leaving the site enough?
I found a few templates on the newbies page but not sure any are directly suitable. Maybe at this stage not much detail needs to go into the appeal I will keep researching, but wanted to see if anyone had something similar with a lease car (I am sure it has happened).
Also it might be worth noting, there is a 6-week gap between the parking charge date and the date of the letter to me, is this relevant?
Many thanks.

It depends who issued it on what appeal you use.1

Issued by UKPC, I’m appealing on the basis that we did not leave. I actually read the sign when I was there, and there are other retail places in the area, the sign also didn’t say which area it relates to.Grizebeck said:It depends who issued it on what appeal you use.Mortgage Free Wannabe Light Bulb Moment (Early 2012, started May 2012)

No, just pictures of the car empty when I load the link and use the reference. Could they have taken some and not yet uploaded, or is that evidence they have final once they raise it to me?Grizebeck said:As long as no photos of you leaving then you will win at popla

Ok thanks, that’s good to hear. It threw me as the templates are geared around company cars / a fleet. I’ve got a personal lease but can amend I think.Coupon-mad said:That is all they have and they'll lose at Popla.Mortgage Free Wannabe Light Bulb Moment (Early 2012, started May 2012)
