We have had an unsuccessful appeal with the following response today, any help on the next steps would be greatly appreciated:
Thank you for your appeal received 15 July 2025 against the above Parking Charge Notice. Having carefully considered the
evidence provided by you, we must advise your appeal has been unsuccessful on this occasion.
You were issued a Parking Charge for an alleged contravention at Birmingham Airport. Having investigated further, we have
found that your vehicle was pictured in breach of the terms set by Birmingham Airport.
The area where your vehicle stopped is a red route and has restrictions in place that prohibit motorists from stopping,
loading/unloading or parking in this area. All restricted areas are signposted and clearly state that no stopping is allowed at
any time to drop off, pick up or for any other reason. This was introduced to reduce congestion, improve safety and maintain
the flow of traffic on the approach roads and terminal areas of the airport. It is the responsibility of the driver to make sure
they follow the instructions on the signage.
Your vehicle would have had to pass a ‘No stopping at any time’ sign. There are over 20 signs around Birmingham
International Airport advising drivers that this is a no stopping area.
As your vehicle was parked in contravention of the terms and conditions of the site we are satisfied that the notice was
correctly issued in accordance with the BPA code of practice, and therefore not able to waiver the charge on this occasion.
Therefore, you now have the option to pay the Parking Charge Notice OR make an appeal to POPLA – The Independent
Appeals Service. You cannot do both.
Pay the Parking Charge Notice at the discounted price of £50 within 14 days. Please note that after this time the Parking Charge Notice will increase to £100.
How to pay
Online at https://pcnpayments.apcoa.co.uk
Or send a Cheque or Postal Order made payable to APCOA Parking (UK) Ltd to: APCOA PARKING, PO BOX 222,
LOWTON WAY, HELLABY, SHEFFIELD S98 1NX.
You have now reached the end of our internal appeals procedure. You now have the option to make an appeal to POPLA -
The Independant Appeals Service. You can do this within 28 days of this letter by completing the online appeal form at
https://www.popla.co.uk quoting the verification reference number 051XXXXXXX. Please be advised that if you opt for
independent arbitration of your case, the Parking Charge Notice will be considered at the full amount of £100. If you require
a hard copy of the POPLA form please contact our customer service centre on 0345 301 1151 where one of our customer
service agents will be happy to assist you.
By law we are also required to inform you that Ombudsman Services (www.ombudsman-services.org/) provides an
alternative dispute resolution service that would be competent to deal with your appeal. However, we have not chosen to
participate in their alternative dispute resolution service. As such should you wish to appeal then you must do so to POPLA,
as explained above.
If you choose to do nothing, we will seek to recover the monies owed to us via our debt recovery procedures and may
proceed with Court action against you.
Yours Faithfully

Thank you for your detailed response.
We shall await the notice to be sent to us as you mentioned as it has only been sent to the lease company at the moment and appeal once it has arrived.

Private parking tickets / PCN Bham Airport
« on: June 04, 2025, 11:38:20 am »
Hi guys, we have received a PCN yesterday from the vehicle lease provider via email dated 19 May 2025.
The vehicle is a lease vehicle with 4 people who can drive it.
The vehicle was dropping someone off at the airport and stopped at a zebra crossing to allow pedestrians to cross, at this time the passenger exited the vehicle.
It says it is for: the alleged contravention of Dropping off or picking up outside designated areas
at Outside Diamond House (ANPR)
on 09 May 2025

Please see the image of the notice here:

And the location here:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZBpPUHPd4LtC9DrJ8
It was dark so difficult to tell what signage is showing.
It says there are 28 days to appeal, any help on steps to take and possible wording to use for an appeal would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Hi, that is correct, there doesn't appear to be a suspension notice on the parking sign. The bagged off machine is a few spaces before the bay we were parked in and was hidden by the lorry somewhat.
Not sure what to put in the challenge or what suggestions for next steps please.

Thank you for the reply, I have checked the section on the Wolverhampton website where it suggests it would show evidence but does not recognise the information I entered, so I suspect there may not be any photographic evidence.
The website then gives you further options to either pay the fine or to challenge the PCN.
The lease agreement states: "all parking fines, fixed penalty fines, leasing company administration charges associated
with speeding or parking fines or similar penalties are your responsibility. The Employer accepts no
responsibility to meet payments of this kind on behalf of the employee. The Employer will not
withhold information properly requested by enforcement agencies, concerning your address or
whereabouts to enable the agency to pursue penalties of this type".

Hi Folks, first post and looking for a little help if possible.
The vehicle is a lease vehicle through work and there are 4 people who can drive the car.
We were parked in a bay where there were other vehicles parked. There were cones out but they were all placed on the footpath and not blocking the use of the spaces for parking in.
Our vehicle was parked on a Saturday 9/11/24 at around 14:30 and the ticket shows a time of 15:56.
The blue badge was displayed.
There was a lorry also parked in the spaces which was unusual but thought nothing of it.
I did not spot any signage, but typically wouldn't look for anything nor look at the pay and display machines as we were parking with the use of a blue badge.

Any help on what to do next and what options to put in for making an informal challenge would be greatly appreciated.
