Highview Parking charge

Hi all.

I have a parking notice from Highview. I have read the threads and i have gone to the appeal website to copy and paste the letter to them however, Highview are asking me to select one of 2 boxes...

1. to admit i was the driver
2. to confirm i am not the driver

It wont let me get past this stage with selecting one of them.

What would your advice be please? Should i write in to them instead? I dont really want to call them in case i say something i shouldnt.

Thank you advance for your help.

    Like all the parking cowboys, they are desperate to
    find out who the driver was

    With their limited questions, they prohibit you in
    using their online portal

    AS KEEPER only, you appeal by post or email

    Read the Newbies thread so you can see what to do.
    Search Highview on this forum.

    If you post, ensure it's by first class post and get a proof
    of posting from your post office, not recorded delivery

    Why not select option 2??

    Never call a PPC!
  • I thought about that but then i thought id be lying and also opening myself up to further questions about who was driving so didnt really want to do that if i can help it.

    You will have to decide what to do yourself.

    This forum wouldn't advise you to lie!

    Remember the advice is to appeal as keeper and never reveal who was driving

    First class post only with a receipt ...... no special delivery
    or recorded.

    WHY, because the cowboys will often refuse special delivery
    but with normal post, they might think there is a cheque inside

    Especially if you write on the envelope 'CHECK ENCLOSED'. :rotfl:

    Oh my Lordy do we have to have this question YET AGAIN?

    The question DOES NOT mean you are lying, it says 'not the driver OR something else boring that I can't recall...'

    This has been done to death. JUST TICK THE DARN BOX THAT DOESN'T SAY 'I WAS THE DRIVER'!!

    YOU ARE NOT LYING. YOU ARE CHOOSING THE SECOND PART OF THEIR SENTENCE.

    DO NOT go posting 'snail mail' to the easiest parking firm to beat in hours flat.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
