Thanks for that link mikeymack. So his points expire 3 years from the date of offence, so he has 6 points currently and the other 6 will be removed before the end of the year, just as someone else said earlier. As for me, I also checked my licence.....and luckily my points have all gone as its 3 years since the date of offence and luckily not the date of conviction (which is 8 months after!!) Thanks!

Yes he has told them anyway every year he has renewed....

Yes I have told him and that he was really lucky to not have been disqualified. He has learnt his lesson tho.....

Great....So I can start breathing soon....oops I meant my friend hahaha thanks

Haha thanks! Its honestly not it is a friend.... lol Btw the 6 points do they all come off at once or is it 3 years per 3 points?? Thanks!

Hi My friend has 12 points on his licence and had his exceptional hardship plea accepted and he had the following 3 points for wrong direction July 2012 3 points for mobile phone Nov 2012 6 points for Speeding (SP30 i think) Dec 2012 I undertand 3 points are physically removed after 4 years, but off the record really after 3 years. Please explain what this means, so the first 3 are removed already as its been 3 years now what about the rest? Thanks!

yes I know that. What I really wanted to know is, is this fine enforceable?

I was authorised to park there. sorry bad typo.... I just thought if it was a PPC is it enforceable?

was authorised to by a member of staff clearly the message wasn't relayed / apcoa ignored it....hence i was ignoring it as i thought it was not enforceable but just cos they keep sending letters I thought I would ask

You clear have a lot of time to go through my post history and yet none to offer some useful advice. Thanks for everything so far )

Whilst you may be right. there a re a number of circumstances why I dint reply, as I was actually unhorsed to apart in that place. the fact that they usually stop after a few letters i didn't bother as have had this before from PPCs. Please offer some constructive comments I clearly asked for help.....Not criticisms that don't then offer any constructive feedback

Hi Hi guys Some quick help please appreciated.... parked in a hotel car park operated by APCOA in early august I believe and now receiving letters from those 2 firms. 1 from APCOA , 2 letters received from Roxburghe and 2 from GPB solicitors LLP. Shall I ignore? Thanks

Update I received a pretty funny response. Basically they have no proof that this was issued correctly. The PCN has been cancelled. They state: On the day the civil enforcement noted that your vehicle was parked in contravention of the the terms and conditions of the badge. As this is your first offence we will cancel this PCN even though we are certain it was issued correctly. I must advise you that if any other PCNs are issues in future or you have any outstanding for any other reason, full settler must be made. It is the responsibility of the driver to park correctly at all times. To help you, I have listed overleaf the terms and conditions of blue badges. I hope this is clear. Basically the terms and conditions they describe are very basic and they were all adhered too. They are basically refusing to admit it was issued incorrectly. Either the pictures they took show this is the case. Or they have no proof. Either way, the car was parked correctly. Thanks guys for all your help!!!

OK so I will definitely make an appeal just wanted to check with you guys. I will write in as everything was done correctly as explained here. I will let you know guys what happens Thanks

The serial number is clearly on display (its in the middle of the badge so hard to be covered), the badge, clock and all are very clearly displayed and no way of it being covered in any way possible. In one of the new style wallets with the badge and clock on either side. So do I just send an informal letter saying I was parked in a disabled bay with no time limit displaying the blue badge correctly, as Michael has suggested. Thanks guys

Hi Just checked the bay did NOT have a time limit stated. The clock was displayed with the badge and I think that the car was parked for more than 3 hours. But does this matter? there was another car with no clock and just the badge and no penalty charge! No the badge isn't mine its my neighbour's and my mum took her for a day out. Cheers

I'm not sure if it was even parked for 3 hours as I wasn't the driver at the time thanks

Ok, the only thing I can think of is that it was parked for more than 3 hours, could that be why?

A penalty charge notice Thanks

Hi My car was parked in a disabled bay and received a ticket for ; Parked in a designated disabled person's parking place without displaying a valid person's badge in the prescribed manner. It was parked with the badge on display. Could someone please advise? It was issued by Tower Hamlets thanks

Also you cannot see some of the the other details, as you can see from the scanned PCN. I am just not sure that having no proof of unloading stuff is this mandatory to supply? it was only about 10-15 mins I had stopped there. Thanks

Thanks Jamberson As you can see from the image, I have only blanked out the second half of the PCN number as I cannot read anything beyond the first letter then the bit I have blanked out so there is at least 3/4 characters of the PCN ref that are not printed. Is this alone enough to have it cancelled? As I do not have any receipts, I was simply unloading and picking up some stuff for a friend. So no receipts as such. Without a receipt what do you think....? Please advise Thanks

This is the PCN: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/692/photojkh.jpg/ I hope it works

Hi I received a PCN for parking in a single yellow line in a CPZ. I was unloading some heavy stuff from my boot and there was no nearby car park and I wasn't parked there for long. Also, the PCN is not printed well you can't even see the PCN number clearly because it seems the printer wasn't working well/ink low. Could you please advise me if I have a case. I will try attach pics asap Thanks

Ok thanks guys. I have ignored one before but I was living at a diff address so the latest I received for that was a few debt collectors letters and that was it. Now I am at my permanent address I am a bit more worried.... Does this affect credit rating..? I will let you know if I receive any more letters thanks
