APCOA railway station parking charge

Jimmybiggy42

Hi all,

I have read the newbie thread but I'm confused about the APCOA and railway bit. In the thread it doesn't specify that the appeal is suitable for APCOA however it talks about appealing APCOA later on.

Essentially I'm asking if the blue appeal text works for APCOA?

Re PCN number:

I dispute your 'parking charge', as the keeper of the vehicle. I deny any liability or contractual agreement and I will be making a complaint about your predatory conduct to your client landowner.

There will be no admissions as to who was driving and no assumptions can be drawn. Since your PCN is a vague template, I require an explanation of the allegation and your evidence. You must include a close up actual photograph of the sign you contend was at the location on the material date as well as your images of the vehicle.

If the allegation concerns a PDT machine, the data supplied in response to this appeal must include the record of payments made - showing partial VRNs - and an explanation of the reason for the PCN, because your Notice does not explain it.

If the allegation involves an alleged overstay of minutes, your evidence must include the actual grace period agreed by the landowner.

THE NAME AND POSTAL ADDRESS OF THE KEEPER (OR THE HIRER/LESSEE) GOES HERE, OR IN THE RELEVANT BOX ON THEIR APPEALS PAGE.

THE DRIVER IS NOT IDENTIFIED.

I can attach photos if that helps.

Check if the NTK PCN letter complied with POFA or not,, as explained in the newbies sticky thread

If not , use a non Pofa2012 compliant appeal instead of the blue text appeal, so no keeper liability

Yes it's a pofa one so I can use the blue text appeal

Thank you!

Also, I should wait for day 25/26 before appealing right?

Yes it was a postal one. Does that change what I should be doing?

Gr1pr

No, but you can appeal at any point within the 28 days, so why delay your appeal for an NTK postal notice ?

Appealing at day 25/26 is advice for when its a windscreen NtD pcn

You can appeal at any date up to the deadline, choose a suitable date for you

Expect a rejection

Ah understood. So does this postal one also have a 6 month time out or is that just windscreen ones?

6 months relates to the amount of time a PPC has to acquire your data from the DVLA after the first month following the parking event has passed. As APCOA have acquired your data (how else would they have known where to send the NtK otherwise?), ‘6 months’ is redundant in your case.

As a point of interest, especially for any newbie reading your thread in the future, the number of times I’ve seen any case where the 6 months limit legitimately comes into play, I can probably count on my little finger!

An APCOA POFA worded NTK?

You're sure?
