Hi all
A friend of mine received a parking fine on the 17th November from Met Parking Services. There was no ticket affixed to the car at the time (it subsequently turned out that it had either blown off or been removed as there are photos in the online evidence showing a ticket on the windscreen).
On the 11th January, he was served with a Parking Charge Notice Reminder. This was the first and only piece of correspondence he had from them.
I wrote an appeal letter to MET Parking Services on his behalf (as it was on my property) stating that no Notice To Keeper was served plus the usual appeal stuff you send to PPCs.
They wrote back and said that they can only enter into correspondence with the driver/registered keeper and "[we have) on this occasion reset the period for making an appeal to 28 days from the date of this letter (26th January) and also reset the period for paying at the discounted rate to 14 days from the date of this letter"
Any advice on whether or not they are still acting within codes of practice etc? I know there are time limits with regards to various aspects of demanding payment etc so hopefully someone could shed a bit of light on this!
Thanks!
