PCN Issues Costa Coffee _ 9 Mins over Lack of signage
« on: »
PCN received from a company. I responded to them in writing stating I would like to appeal. Not had any response from them. Next thing was a letter from TNC debt collection for £170 pounds.

Having received the PCN I visited the site and the signage is horrendous for a start which was going to be the basis of the appeal but wasnt given the chance.

What do I do?

Anyone advise what to do next?

Please have a read here first:

READ THIS FIRST - Private Parking Charges Forum guide

You have provided insufficient information. Which PPC? We need to see the NtK including all dates. Just redact your personal data, VRM and PCN number. Where was this location? Do you have any photos of the signs you claim are "horrendous".

As well as all the above, a copy of what you wrote to them may also be useful.

You say you don't have a copy of the PCN (NtK). Did you ever have a copy of it?

We are not interested in the debt collector letters. No need to show those. Any debt collector letters can be safely ignored.

What about Plan A? Have you contacted Costa to ask them to get the PCN cancelled?

So, have you made any effort find out who does own the land? If it is a car park serving multiple businesses or shops then there may be an advertising plinth which would include the name of the management company. Just because Costa don't own the car park, somebody must.

What about the company they appoint as their agent to manage it?

I responded to them in writing stating I would like to appeal.
What was the point in that exactly?

As Yoda may say 'Appeal or don't appeal, there is no like to'  As you didn't bother (it seems) to appeal they have continued on their standard letter chain (quite rightly).

Play nicely please both of you.

Do you have the exact text of what you wrote to them? Trying to ascertain if they've ignored an actual appeal (which they should not have), or whether what you submitted would not reasonably be considered an appeal.

please see PCN now uploaded.

Have hopefully found the owners of the land and sending their MD a message.
