    What have UKPC got to do with a Horizon ticket?

    You really need to do your research and proof read everything very carefully.

    Oh, I need 6th change that. I will proof read it and make appropriate changes. It was late and I was tired so need to recheck everything. I wasn't going to send them popla letter yet, just wanted to check to confirm that it was okay.

    So I need to change the letter to horizon? What is the reason not to send of the appeal to horizon for 25 days?

    You can't send anything to PoPLA until you get a PoPLA code from the PPC which won't be until they have rejected your initial appeal.

    The idea is to appeal the windscreen ticket as keeper as late as possible so that the PPC forget to send you a NTK. Timings are critical and you want to get past day 56 without receiving a NTK so that keeper liability cannot apply. Appealing as late as possible means you are half way to that deadline. By the time the PPC realise, if they do at all, hopefully you will be past day 56.
    The date of the alleged event is day zero.

    This is explained in the NEWBIES thread so you really need to go and read it thoroughly instead of asking questions where the answers are already given.
    Printing out the acronyms/initials in post 2 is a good idea so you don't have to keep referring back to it.

    Would it better to send the appeal to Horizon by post, by recorded delivery or by email?

    Send it by whatever method they tell you to use on the PCN. Online is always the best method if it is available. Take a screen shot.

    If you have to send it by post, then do it from a Post Office counter, first class, and obtain a free proof of posting. Do not use recorded delivery.

  • Fruitcake's right, Danny - never send an initial appeal to a PPC by recorded delivery (or special delivery for that matter): they can refuse the item or refuse to sign for it and then deny receipt.

    Always go for the standard post with free proof of posting certificate method - that's deemed delivered approximately 2 working days after posting.

    Last time I did a Horizon appeal it could be done by email. Posting is a last resort, only if the PCN offers no online/email appeal.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Hi guys, I sent my appeal letter to Horizon all the way back around the 11th December and have still not heard anything back (I got an automated response to confirm that they received my letter). What should I do now, should I continue to wait or contact them?
