Hi,
so I've read the sticky thread on how to appeal etc. and just after a second opinion really.
I've received a PCN NTK showing my car's registration number entering and leaving a car park in a 17 minute period. No ticket was purchased. This article explains why this is happening all the time in this particular car park:
https://www.ryeandbattleobserver.co.uk/news/anger-over-rye-chippy-parking-fine-1-7588278
Is it still worth going through the online appeal (which seems odds on to be denied) and then the POPLA appeal in the hope they cocked up somewhere along the way? Or should I just cough up the £40.
thanks

Are you seriously expecting anyone advising on how to beat private parking tickets to suggest you pay this?Is it still worth going through the online appeal (which seems odds on to be denied) and then the POPLA appeal in the hope they cocked up somewhere along the way? Or should I just cough up the £40.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. .

If you get a second opinion from anyone here saying anything other than to fight this then worry about their true intentions! (We do get some posters who come here with an agenda!)0

I guess what I'm really asking then is am I right that my first step is to just appeal via ECP online using the template from the sticky thread?
Then when that's rejected go for a POPLA appeal, looking at grounds such a land owner authority, accuracy of ANPR cameras/timing?
Given no ticket was purchased no contract was entered into so does that make a difference, as surely that's trespass rather than a broken contract?0 -

Yes, if you're in time.I guess what I'm really asking then is am I right that my first step is to just appeal via ECP online using the template from the sticky thread?
Yes, if you get a POPLA Code. There are various templates contained in the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #3 for use in developing a POPLA appeal.Then when that's rejected go for a POPLA appeal, looking at grounds such a land owner authority, accuracy of ANPR cameras/timing?
Depends what the signage says. You need to get contemporaneous photographs. They might be needed.Given no ticket was purchased no contract was entered into so does that make a difference, as surely that's trespass rather than a broken contract?Please note, we are not a legal advice forum.

thanks Quentin but think I'm fine, my profile doesn't have my surname and must be andrew still fairly common (as muck) name.0 -
You don't know at this stage what else will be posted here which can inadvertently end up subsequently identifying you! Especially if your surname matches that initial!
The advice to get it changed if it is a real name is sound (you run an unnecessary risk as well as breaking forum rules by using your real name)0 -
Good plan - and I don't mean that facetiously. There is definitely an educational need across the UK driver cohort when parking on a private car park, because almost everywhere is vulnerable to a PPC infestation, with mantraps set for the naive, ignorant or unwary.after parking elsewhere and walking in!
