Thank you.
I will try and make a case for loading as I have nothing to lose.
If there is a template/example I can use, would appreciate if someone can point me towards it.
There is no template but you need to have something on the following lines: -
Dear Sirs
Re PCN <number> Dated <dd/mm/yyyy> served at <location>
I deny liability for the above PCN on the grounds that the contravention did not occur, reason Loading.
On the day concerned I drove to <
location> to collect a <
description of parcel incl weight and dimensions>. Due to the weight of the parcel, I needed to park close to the collection point. On my return to my car after the few minutes spend collecting the parcel, I saw that a PCN had been served to my car. Clearly a single person collecting an item of value has to leave the car unattended in order to collect it from the collection point, so your CEO would not, in the very short time the car was observed, have seen any loading activity. As you know, the loading exemption does not only cover the physical loading of goods into the vehicle, but all related activities such as going to and returning from the collection point with the goods, then loading them into the vehicle.
I therefore claim the loading exemption and request that the PCN be cancelled forthwith.
Yours faithfully
