I agree that she was the responsible adult for the action of an underage child but I believe there must be consideration of principles of fairness and proportionality. especially when there was no intent to litter, and an unintentional act by a three-year-old should not be treated as a punishable offence when it was sheer out of a child's frustration that a pigeon tried to snatch his sandwich. I have uploaded a copy of FPN (removed personal details of course) if any of you confirm whether it is worth writing to them requesting evidence of offence (which should clarify too that the offence was not committed etc) or could I submit a representation? FPN.pdf

I believe it is from a private company that is working in partnership with the local authority, the website is www.noticepayments.co.uk/fpnrep/luton or email [email protected]. actually have just phoned them and they confirmed they are a third party (private company) who works in partnership with local authorities.

Afternoon the learned ones, My wife and 3-year-old son were visiting the Luton city centre, outside the shopping centre, my son was eating a sandwich when a pigeon tried to snack along. a bit of a sandwich was left and my wife didn't want him to eat the rest so they then left the pigeon to eat who was just nearby. about a minute later, two men appeared and told her that you were caught littering on camera (not sure if this is true). She said firstly it wasn't her but her son who threw the rest of the sandwich but anyway, she stupidly shared her details with them and was issued an FPN of £500 (reduced to £75 if paid within 10 days). she then phoned me and I told her that she should not have given them the details but it was too late. she sent me a copy of the FPN and when I logged to the council website, it suggested the offence as follows; you were seen to drop, throw down or otherwise deposit food and leave it. clearly, this was not the case. I wonder if I should challenge it, if so, any suggested text for me to challenge the FPN please? Peace.

HI, I searched via skyscanner and booked 4 flights via BudgetAir.co.uk (Turkish airlines) for my family in early October. Given the uncertain circumstances I ensured that I book flexible tickets. Whilst booking budgetair.co.uk clearly does state; Flexible Option This airline is giving the possibility to change your travel dates and rebook without any change fee (fare difference may apply) due to COVID-19 emergency. Please check the airline’s Covid-19 policy as this might not be reflected in the flight conditions mentioned below. We were due to fly late November but then the government announced lockdown with restricted international travel. I telephoned Turkish Airlines who were helpful and say they are willing to cancel the flights and I can rebook at a later date without a charge but when they looked into the details, I was asked to contact the travel agency as the flights were booked through them. I contacted the travel agency and was told that cancellation is not an option but they can change the flights for a charge of £55 each (£220 + fare difference). I said it was suppose to be flexible and was told that yes but i should have purchased an additional option through their website for free rebooking and seeing that i didn't i will be charged administrative fee. I feel that I have been mis-sold flights with flexible options which are not so flexible. (Also feel that it is similar to the banks PPI) (I did purchase the flights with my AMEX platinum card though if it is of any help). I have been writing to budgetair and have been calling but they are simply not very helpful. Also, strangely enough the flights are operating as usual Anything I can do?

didn't think of that lol but what are the odds it will go all the way to the court? I am sure ericsbrother have thought of it too and would not have suggested if this would be an issue going forward. Thank you for sharing the thought though, very helpful indeed.

Understood, thank you. I will ask them to write to the company and provide my details as the driver and I will take it if I receive correspondence from the company.

thank you FTMDave and ericsbrother. I passed on the second last message to them not long ago but would be happy to be named as the driver for sure and will take them up. Shall I ask them to send an email back to the company that this person (I) was the driver and contact me going forward? (that's it)

Could not agree more, she is very embarrassed that a good Samaritan has been inconvenienced because of her. She doesn't want the driver to be receiving notices etc. She is happy for her to receive it instead and asked me if there is a way for her to receive it (So iIcan deal on her behalf??)

oh, apologies. I have further updated the file. (attached again) 1.pdf

I had kinda hoped that they may just not send it but unfortunately they have. The gentleman received NTK (Notice to Keeper) today. I have uploaded a copy here and would very much apprecaite guidace as to what can I do next.

Thank you ericsbrother I now have contact details of the driver. I spoke with him yesterday and requested to send a copy of NTK to me as they receive it as I will then dispute it on their behalf. I will post a copy of NTK as I am in receipt of it.

Thank you. I have attached the notice. It was issued at Parkwest, West Drayton UB7 balix pcn.pdf

I have the ticket scanned with me, it doesn't have any personal details and only car details. am I good to attach here?

As far as I understand the ticket was left on the windscreen of the car and the keeper of the vehicle is the person who drove the lady to her apartment from the neighbouring town. I will check with my neighbour as she got in touch with her friend to find details of the other guests/driver. She was quite embarrassed about it so was reluctant earlier but I explained that this is the only way she'd be able to help them. She was wondering if she could get them to authorise her to act on their behalf or in other words me as I will help with your (CAG) help of course.

Hello folks, Posting this on behalf of my elderly neighbour. I am copy and pasting the appeal here which should explain the situation. My neighbour is concerned and worried that she doesn't have driver details and if the company were to write the driver, the driver may pay up the money which she doesn't want to happen. What option does she have at present do you think? PCS's response yesterday: Thank you for your email regarding the above Parking Charge Notice (PCN). Unfortunately we are unable to process appeals that have been made by a third party. The driver will need to contact us directly if they wish to appeal their PCN. Kind Regards PCS signature with contact details etc. From: My neighbour To: [email protected]; Subject: Appeal re: XXXXXXXX Hi, I am partially sighted and has a physical disability. On 20 April 2019 my son dropped me to a family friend on his way to work. Whilst at my friend's house, I started to feel unwell, another guest visiting my friend kindly volunteered to bring me home quickly so I could access medication and rest. The guest drove me home and helped me inside the flat. I can confirm that it didn't take them more than a few minutes but by the time they went back to the car, your parking attendant had put a ticket on it already. They spoke to the attendant to say that they were only away for barely a few minutes but parking attendant said I don't have access to cancel the ticket. The guest then returned to my flat and I assured them that I will ask my son to speak with security to have it cancelled. The next day my son spoke to security but was told they don't have access to system either and it has to be written to you to be cancelled. I would appreciate if you can please cancel the parking charge and confirm to me via email that you have. ticket details are as follows; PCN Date: 20/04/2019 PCN Number: XXXXXXX VRM: XXXX XXX Vehicle Make/Model: Toyota Name: Neighbour Address: her address Contact Number: contact number Unfortunately, I do not have driver details as they were guests attending an event at my friend's house. I'd appreciate if you can send me any further communications to my email address. Regards,
