APCOA PCN - No Permit - Loughborough University
DIR By: Lib19
Date: February 27, 2026, 11:23 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Upon entering the car park, the driver found a space and parking
was paid for on the app. There were separate signs saying
parking could be paid for on the app, and another saying permit
holders only. The driver mistook this to mean that you could
park as a permit holder or pay for parking. Please could you
advise of the best way to appeal this? The registered keeper
received a PCN today in the post.

- It is our experience, but of course not our guarantee, that
APCOA never goes as far as a court claim.

I have also attached the photo of the back of the PCN and some
photos of the signs. I would be grateful if someone could advise
how the appeal should be worded. Thank you.

Welcome Lib19
The PCN looks like its still in the within 28 Days Appeal time.
keeping checking in on your post here and someone will respond
with what the next steps are.
In the mean time have a read at some of the other threads and
posts to find some similar to your case.

Thank you. A lot of the APCOA appeals I've seen are from airport
parking, so I'm not sure if the same wording applies in this
case.

Out of interest, what's the issue date of the notice? (I.e. the
date it was posted, not the date of the parking)
My suggestion would be:
[indent]Dear Sirs,
I have received your Parking Charge Notice (Ref: ________) for
vehicle registration mark ____ ___, in which you allege that the
driver has incurred a parking charge. I note from your
correspondence that you are not seeking to hold me liable as the
registered keeper, under Schedule 4 of the Protection of
Freedoms Act 2012 ("The Act"). You have chosen not to issue a
Notice to Keeper in accordance with The Act, and it is now too
late for you to do so.
There is no obligation for me to name the driver and I will not
be doing so. I am therefore unable to help you further with this
matter, and look forward to your confirmation that the charge
has been cancelled. If you choose to decline this appeal, you
must issue a POPLA code.
Yours,[/indent]
If appealing online, be careful there are no drop down/tick
boxes that cause you to identify who was driving, and keep a
close eye on your spam folder for their response. If they do not
respond within 28 days, chase them.
