    they will pull out of popla when you submit evidence of lack of pofa , at Popla , they can only go for the driver , by making your "Gettysburg" speech , you are likely to say "I did this , I did that" , which will cancel out there failure of pofa ,

    Hello,


    Tried to submit template via their appeals website, came across these 2 options, and couldn’t get past them unless I ticked one.

    Tick here to confirm that you were the driver and that the PCN you have received contains the correct information
    Tick here to confirm that you were not the driver or that the PCN you have received contains incorrect information


    Then looked at their FAQs which quoted
    “We are bound by the British Parking Association’s Code of Practice and registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office. Utilising The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 when issuing PCNs is optional and we are not required to comply with it. Non-compliance with this legislation in no way affects our ability to issue PCNs and does not in any way affect the validity of the PCN you have received.”


    Advice please - trying to get on with it, but stunble at the first hurdle.

    USE THE INCORRECT INFO OPTION (not the driver)

    do not mention or tick a box about who was driving, this is the golden rule in 99% of cases

    Apologies for not updating this thread earlier.
    Managed to submit Appeal Application after reading last 2 advice posts. Received email confirming receipt of application very early February advising that:
    We aim to write back to you within 14 working days, but certainly no more than 35 days after your representation is received.
    Took a couple of weeks out in March, and had house-sitter open all my post.
    To date, have not heard anymore, no email, no letter, no phone call.

    What do I do now?

    Email the BPA to complain (is this CP Plus, just to clarify?) and while you are about it, complain that the appeals page insists on a keeper choosing 'I was the driver' or 'I was not the driver' which is not allowed and was confirmed in 2013 by the DVLA (in a joint statement with the BPA) to be a serious breach if an appeals process implied a keeper has to say if they were driving or not.

    You know the BPA email addy because it's in the NEWBIES thread (post #5? the bit re complaints).
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    What do I do now?
    Go to the CP Plus website 'Pay my PCN' portal as if to pay the PCN. This will give you the current status of the charge. If it is still showing as 'Live' (unpaid), then follow Coupon-mad's advice re complaining to the BPA.

    Please update us when you've tried the website.
    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.

    Hello Coupon-Mad, thanks for your reply.

    Yes, it is CP Plus.

    I will complain to BPS about not being updated by CP Plus as they said they would (and quote their statement).

    The appeals page will only allow an appeal to go through if you tick one of the 2 options (exact text) -
    Tick here to confirm that you were the driver and that the PCN you have received contains the correct information
    Tick here to confirm that you were not the driver or that the PCN you have received contains incorrect information

    So will complain about that as well, quoting the 2013 statement information as you say.

    I note that on the Charge Notice, sent to me as I was the registered keeper at that time, has 2 photos of the car, but only the design and text of a generic Parking Sign - not a photo, and it doesn't include an infringement amount - is that an issue?

    Thanks again.

    Your PCN has been cancelled

    Thanks everyone ...

    But can I still complain to BPS?
    Can I do more to highlight anything else, so others can see?
