    They've sent a document showing the transactions allegedly taken from the machine around the time I parked. The weird thing is, there isn't a reg number even remotely close to mine. It's so bizarre.

    Not good to reveal yourself like this.

    Remove your email address.

    As well as all the other risks you expose yourself to, the ppcs monitor this forum and can use your thread against you

    Their sheet doesn't evidence you didn't pay does it? Is the sheet even headed up with the date AND location AND time?

    Below the "yours sincerely" at the end of the letter, they have inserted a screenshot of the"transaction report" around the time I parked up. I can't see anything resembling my VRN, or even the price I paid. I really have no idea what is going on.

    I know, but is it headed up with the location, date and times? Could it be a report from ANYWHERE?

    And are you sure you didn't put in your other car VRN, like I already asked? LOADS of people do.

    It states the date, time, the code for the parking site. It looks like a screenshot of an Excel spreadsheet. Is there a way I can send you a pic of it?

    I don't have another car so definitely didn't confuse the VRN.

    host a pic on tinypic or photobucket

    so far the way you have appealed this is all wrong, because you have lost the best appeal points as keeper due to clicking on driver

    if this one costs you money, you will know next time !

    You can show stuff here on the forum but really it's not worth the effort as it really doesn't mean much, simply isn't important. This is only silly old ECP. Copy a decent POPLA appeal from those you find when you search and come and show us. No need to worry, just a shame the easiest appeal point is likely to be in the bin.

    Is there a number on the sheet which looks like a partial VRN/could be yours but wrong? Normally they show part of the VRNs on the list.

    Yes it shows most of the VRN apart from the last couple of letters. None look like mine. But the strangest thing about it is that the amount I paid doesn't appear on or even near to the time I paid it. It's as if the machine has accepted my money, printed the ticket, but forgot to add it to the register.

    PPC in dubious records keeping shocker!

    PPC finally admits that there was an "administrative error". (Which is probably where this will end up). ;)

    I doubt they will because he didn't keep the ticket. Sounds like an error in the machine which Euro won't admit to, but can happen if there's even a temporary interruption in the signal/system. Lost in a black hole.

    I think the OP should use 'no keeper liability' anyway among the usual stuff people use in Euro POPLA appeals and make it so long and detailed that Euro don't contest it (often the case).
