Bloody hell - have I suddenly become the Claire Rayner for parking tickets ? In all likelihood ANPR don't have a contract to allow them to take you to court. Continue to ignore and IF ( and it's a very BIG if ) you get court papers then go to MSE / Pepipoo for information on how to win.
Entirely different as it's a council parking scheme - they DO have the right to fine people. That said they often get the process or traffic orders wrong so it's always worth appealing. Before you say it - I don't condone people parking where they shouldn't !!!!
I'm assuming this is a private PCN - i.e. it said Parking Charge Notice not Penalty Charge notice. If so :
Because you ignored you're too late to appeal. The good news is that I'm guessing your invoice is from Smart Parking ? They don't do court ! Continue to ignore
Always follow what LadySeagull says - she knows her onions !
Yes, wait until you get the notice to keeper letter. The "fine" can't go up because they still have to offer the discount to the keeper but the funny bit is that it will have cost them £2.50 to get your details.
That was pre-POFA ( October 2012 ) so in your case you were correct. Now, thanks to POFA, the registered keeper can be held responsible if the driver can't be or isn't identified.
You're getting a little ahead of yourself - those points are POPLA appeal points ( point 4 is the one you would go for anyway based on you're not liable given the PPC hasn't lost any money ).
Appeal to the PPC in anyway you want ( just don't say who the driver was ) - there is someone called...
Look at the latest advice - particularly from Storma. That 55% win rate include people who appeal based on circumstances - I didn't see the signs, I had broken down, I bumped into Kelly Brook in the car park and forgot the time. You MUST appeal to POPLA on the PPC not adhering to the BPA code or...
I'm not suggesting parking enforcement should be ignored BUT all the landowner ( NOT the PPC ) can claim is loses from the person parking. The landowner would struggle to prove the £75 ( I am guessing at the level of the "fine" ) has been lost due to Notters parking in a Visitors spot. How have...
I have to say, I normally think your posts are intelligent, thoughtful and balanced but in this case you couldn't be more wrong. It's not a fine anyway - no company has the legal right to fine a person.
You're not trying to prove anything as such to the PPC ( well apart from that you know a POPLA appeal will cost them £32 and it's only binding on them ! ). You're better off just putting in minimal effort at this stage. Go and look at MSE or Pepipoo if you want in depth re-assurance. You have...
Appeal to the PPC with a soft appeal. Something along the lines of :
Dear PPC,
The driver does not recognise your authority for parking charge ref xxxxxx. Please either cancel the charge or provide the POPLA appeal code.
Kinds Regards,
Print Name ( don't sign ).
If they cancel it then all...
