SIP Wrong Reg PCN

Hey All!

I've read the newbies thread however, a little over my head (forgive me).

I had entered my old cars registration number in for the online payment of parking to return (2 days parking) to two physical PCNs

. I have proof of paid parking for the old reg of course.

I jumped the gun and appealed only to receive a rejection email from them, i've also been informed me they do not have ANPR at the location.

Next steps? £60 per PCN or appeal via IAS although i can see i'm not to bother with them?

Anyones help would be majorly welcomed.

If they were to take this to court they might struggle. Many judges regard these wrong VRN claims as a trifle, and the Law does not concern itself with trifles.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_minimis

This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of alleged contracts for alleged parking offences, aided and abetted by a handful of low-rent solicitors.

Parking Eye, CPM, Smart, and others have already been named and shamed in the House of Commons as have Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (these two law firms take hundreds of these cases to court each week, hospital car parks and residential complex tickets have been especially mentioned. They lose most of them, and have been reported to the regulatory authority by an M.P. for unprofessional conduct

The problem has become so widespread that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers. It has even been suggested that some of these companies have links with organised crime.

Watch the video of the Second Reading and committee stage in the House of Commons recently. MPs have a very low opinion of this industry.

and complain in the most robust terms to your MP. With a fair wind they will be out of business by in the not too distant future..

Next steps??

Ignore everything unless or until you receive a Letter of Claim or official court correspondence.

Next steps? £60 per PCN or appeal via IAS although i can see i'm not to bother with them?

Please can we ban the question ''what's my next step?'' re an IPC firm, until LBC or claim stage?

I thought the NEWBIES thread made it clear where I say not to try IAS and sit tight till court claim stage? Does it need clarifying?

We cannot keep answering threads about ''what do I do next'' at a stage where you do nothing.

What do you expect cm when 50% of the population have a below average I.Q.

Thanks for the replies!

in regards to the newbies post - it doesn't need clarifying however it does provide a "template" response for the initial appeal of which i was unaware of and so i wondered if the "do nothing" phase still applies even though i had responded and not done down the correct route..

Anyhow!... will do nothing for the time being

its simple (for England & Wales)

for BPA MEMBERS , you appeal to the PPC with the blue text template , then you appeal to POPLA once a code has been obtained

after that you do nothing until an LBC and/or MCOL arrives, at which point you deal with them (meanwhile you ignore the debt collectors and begging letters)

and

for IPC MEMBERS , you appeal to the PPC with the blue text template , then you ignore (see the next point below)

so after that you do nothing until an LBC and/or MCOL arrives, at which point you deal with them (meanwhile you have ignored the debt collectors and begging letters)

so for SIP, its the latter

this is until the government change the system of course (which carries on in 2 days time)
