PCN - Horizon

Hello

Having received a PCN and compaliend to the retailr (generic respone go to the private firm so that didnt work) I used the blue template on the MSE forum. Rejected. Popla reference given.

I am now outside the 28 day window to do a Popla appeal.

I now want to use the Horizon portal to reject this (again) but to add about what I believe is double dipping (exit photo is of the second visit to the car park (supermarktet) - no return was adhered to.

What are my options here please?

thanks

    Popla codes last for 33 days,  not 28 days, so get your appeal uploaded to popla if its been 32 days or less

    You cannot re appeal to Horizon,  it's popla or possibly court,  if you cannot get plan A to work

    So ideally appeal to popla and also implement plan A too

    Or email Horizon's DPO email (see their privacy page). For how to phrase the data abuse complaint, search the forum for:

    double dip orphan images

    Its not clear what wording I am using here.

    So once I have the "words" this goes direct to Horizon by email correct?

    I have perused and found this: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6531000/parking-fine/p2 which indeeds looks very useful

    My reply already said who to email and the search I suggested finds loads of threads, several of which show exactly what to say.

    Do you think this would suffice?

    "The DRIVER paid 2 short visits that day and obeyed the parking rules on both occasions, so they should cancel the pcn as the alleged contravention did not occur"

    OR is this better?

    "I am well aware of the so called ‘double dipping’ scam that you operate from this car park, having spoken to others with whom you have tried the same tactic, and realise that you know full well that two visits were made that day but choose to deliberately withhold the photographs of the car leaving in the morning and returning in the afternoon in an attempt to fraudulently obtain money from the registered keeper.

    I would suggest that you are in breach of the Fraud Act 2006 and it is my intention therefore to file an online fraud report to the National Fraud and Cyber Crime Reporting Centre regarding this matter. I will also be making a complaint to The Range store, the BPA, the DVLA and the media as I feel that it is about time that organisations such as yours who engage in this kind of criminal activity are exposed."

    Much better as long as you haven't just copied stuff about The Range from someone's post when yours isn't? I can't tell.

    I am asking the DPO to cancel the PCN correct? Anything else?
