PCN from National Parking Control for staying 20 min over my 2 hour paid parking slot

Coupon-mad

It's not meant to 'work'.

Nothing has changed. There's nothing in the NEWBIES thread saying "this will see the PCN cancelled". That's only true in a few cases and isn't the point of it.

It's just there if people prefer to engage/dispute, rather than totally ignore PCNs (and it gets a POPLA Code in cases where the PPC is in the BPA AOS).

But yours is an IPC firm where the clear advice in post 3 of the NEWBIES thread is that the IAS appeals system they operate is a farce which is neither considered independent nor impartial. By all means try the IAS if you really want to ... but don't use any template (there isn't one, for good reason) and don't expect to win.

The real dispute resolution is at court. Later. Hence if it was me, I would ignore NPC and only contact them with any change of address.

Ignore the £170 threatograms shown in post 4 of the NEWBIES thread. Come back if you get a LBC from a solicitor, or a Claim Form.

All of these stages are in the NEWBIES thread and always were. This is not new advice.
