Self-help · you send the letter
Got a private parking ticket? Write a strong appeal in five minutes.
Answer a few plain-English questions about your Parking Charge Notice and get a tailored, ready-to-send appeal letter — free. It picks only the grounds your answers support, and it works for both the POPLA and IAS routes.
You review it, sign it and send it. We never contact the operator for you — this is a self-help tool, not a claims-management service.
Common grounds it can raise
- ● Inadequate or unclear signage — no contract formed
- ● Keeper not liable — Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 defects
- ● Overstay within the required grace period
- ● Payment made, or a genuine keying error
- ● Charge above the £100 code cap
Only the grounds your answers actually support are included. The letter never states anything you haven't told it.

Frequently asked questions
No — and deliberately so. PCN Appeal is a self-help tool. It generates a letter tailored to your answers, which you read, edit and send yourself. We never contact the parking operator, POPLA or the IAS on your behalf, we don't handle your case, and we're not regulated as a claims-management company. You stay in control at every step.
