Late response to appeal

Posts: 3 Newbie
On December 12th 2019 I was given a PCN for using a loading bay. I was delivering articles to a charity shop and had to carry them around the block to the main entrance. On returning I had been ticketed, The ticket informed me how to appeal in writing to a PO Box allowing me 14 days to do so. I appealed also advising the agency that I required a response also within 14 days. After more than 23 days had passed I wrote to inform them as they had not had the courtesy to reply to my appeal within the timescale then the matter had remedied itself. After 10 days since the letter was sent a response came stating the offence that had been committed but if I sent a letter from the charity shop stating that I was delivering articles to them, then the agency would reconsider my case.They also have given me 14 days to respond.
Is this acceptable?

Which parking company ?
If it was an offence , which laws are broken ?0 -
I would think that your requested time frame would not factor into anything or make your PCN invalid. I would go back to the charity shop and ask the manager to write a short letter stating that you were unloading bags and bags of free stock for them and hope the ticket gets cancelled.0

I may be wrong but I believe under contract law or commerce law then time factors are legitimate toolsfoxy-stoat wrote: »I would think that your requested time frame would not factor into anything or make your PCN invalid.

As this is a council ticket you are better off posting on this site http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showforum=30
It's dedicated to council tickets whereas this forum deals in private tickets0 -
Good job this isnt either. Its decrim parking enforcement. TMA2004I may be wrong but I believe under contract law or commerce law then time factors are legitimate tools
They are not bound by your timescales, obviously.
Theyve given you an out, I suggest you use it. Before you lose the chance.0 -
Yep, and the Council will then cancel it. Loading IS exempt but you have to evidence it.After 10 days since the letter was sent a response came stating the offence that had been committed but if I sent a letter from the charity shop stating that I was delivering articles to them, then the agency would reconsider my case.They also have given me 14 days to respond.
Is this acceptable?PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
