Hi al,
After parking somewhere where i misread the signs and misinformed by restaurant employees i overstayed in a car park and there was no way to pay the excess time so i received i fine.
After going through a few posts in here i appealed the decision using the template text choosing i was not the driver as a reason.
Today i got a reply.
Can someone advise how to proceed?
Photos of the pcn, my appeal confirmation email with what i said on the bottom, and their reply today attached, all sensitive info has been hidden i hope!
Thanks in advance!

You use the text given to appeal to Popla.2 -
"await the POPLA code
Then when that comes use
"The operator has contract to issue PCNS at this site""
Make sure you put a "no" before "contract"3 -

Hi again, today i received the email attached.
Is that what i was expecting, and the email contents are what it was expected them to be for the reply to work "The operator has no contract to issue PCNS at this site" and what would be the expected next step? Thanks again.0 -
Yep. Always the same with Smart.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:
Home»Motoring»Parking Tickets Fines & Parking - read the NEWBIES THREAD1 -
