Popla code expired, no NTK received

in Parking tickets, fines & parking
The timeline is as follows:
Windscreen PCN: 17/05/2025
Appeal sent: 11/06/2025 (25 days since PCN)
Appeal rejected: 12/06/2025 (26 days since PCN)
Final Reminder: 18/07/2025 (62 days since PCN)

So no NTK was received. I tried appealing via POPLA but the verification code (received with the rejection on 12/06) has expired.

What should I do now? How do I appeal on the grounds that no NTK was served?

    You dont..
    Do nothing
    Just come back if any court claim
    Inform the parking firm if you move
    Which parking firm?

    Thanks for your advice. That's what I did. The firm is P4Parking.

    They have now sent a "Letter Before Claim" via email dated 4 Aug 2026.

    Any guidance is appreciated.

    No extra guidance needed. 🙂

    We son't need to discuss pre-action letters because posters will have already read about how to reply to that LBC (if it is a real one from a solicitor firm) when you read post 2 of NEWBIES PLEASE READ THESE FAQS FIRST, before posting.

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Thanks!

    In my reply - do I mention the missing NTK or keep it up my sleeve if they decide to proceed with the court action?

    P4Parking but is this a pretend LBC from them (ignore it) or is it from which solicitor firm?

    Just a double check …. P4P operate quite a bit in Scotland. Was the parking incident north of the border by any chance?

    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
