Example appeal excerpts
“I write to formally challenge PCN XY12345678. The restriction signage at the location was obscured by foliage and not clearly visible from the parking bay, meaning no contract was adequately communicated as required by the BPA Code of Practice…”
“The Notice to Keeper does not comply with the mandatory requirements of Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. Specifically, it was not delivered within the relevant period, so the operator may not hold me, as registered keeper, liable…”
“A valid payment was made for the full duration of my stay; I enclose the transaction receipt. The charge appears to stem from a mistyped vehicle registration and should be cancelled in line with the operator’s own guidance…”
