The stuff they'd rather you didn't know

You got the ticket.
The system wants
your silence.

~40%

Of PCNs that reach tribunal are cancelled or not contested by the council. Most drivers never get that far.

~1%

Of drivers formally appeal. The other 99% pay quietly — even when they have grounds they don't know about.

"Three‑minute overstay while picking up my mum from hospital. Westminster issued a PCN anyway. The letter cited TSRGD signage rules I didn't even know existed. Cancelled first try."

"Supermarket car park. Their sign was half‑obscured by a trolley bay. POPLA appeal took me ten minutes to file using their letter. They dropped it."

"My car is compliant. ANPR flagged the wrong reg. I'd have paid it and moved on — the letter made it obvious I shouldn't."

Questions

You've probably got these.

Will this actually work? I've never appealed before.

No honest service can promise success — outcomes depend on the facts, the issuer, and the adjudicator. What we can promise is a letter that knows what it's doing: it cites the right UK statute for your contravention (TMA 2004, TSRGD 2016, Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 for private parking, Beavis v ParkingEye where relevant), structured the way adjudicators at London Tribunals and the Traffic Penalty Tribunal expect. That's already a better start than most people who try alone.

Is this legal? Can I actually appeal without a lawyer?

Yes. Drafting an appeal letter is not a "reserved legal activity" under the Legal Services Act 2007, and PCN appeals are specifically not FCA‑regulated claims management. The tribunals themselves are designed for litigants in person. We're a document preparation service — we provide information and draft the letter, you review and submit. We are not solicitors, and this isn't legal advice. For legal advice, consult a solicitor.

What if I've already lost the discount window?

Appeal anyway. The discount is gone but the appeal itself isn't. You still have up to 28 days from the Notice to Owner to make formal representations, and beyond that you can appeal to the tribunal. Ignoring it makes things worse; appealing doesn't.

What if the council rejects my appeal?

You go to tribunal — London Tribunals (inside London) or the Traffic Penalty Tribunal (rest of England & Wales). Both are free, run by independent adjudicators, and designed for self‑representation. We can draft the tribunal letter too.

Do you submit the appeal for me?

No — you submit it yourself. We give you the letter, a one‑page checklist, and the exact submission channel (email or online form) for your specific issuer. This keeps you in control and keeps us on the right side of the regulatory line between "tool" and "representative".

Which tickets do you cover?

Council parking PCNs, bus lane and box junction PCNs, TfL ULEZ and Congestion Charge PCNs, and private parking charge notices (POPLA and IAS). Speeding NIPs and Fixed Penalty Notices are on the roadmap.

My deadline is tomorrow. Can I still appeal?

Most letters are drafted in under two minutes. As long as your issuer's submission channel is open, you can still make it.

Is there a subscription? How does the 3‑credit pack work?

No subscription, ever. The 3‑credit pack (£9.99) is a one‑off payment that gives you three independent letter credits. Use them when you need them — for yourself, for a family member who got a ticket, or save for later. Credits never expire. Single letters are £6.45 each, same quality.

Can I get a refund?

Full refund any time before you download your letter. Once you've downloaded it, the service has been delivered — but if something's genuinely wrong with the letter, email us and we'll sort it. For 3‑credit packs, if you haven't used any credits, you can have a full refund.

How do you use my data?

Only to generate your appeal and deliver it. Ticket photos are deleted within 30 days unless you opt in to save them. We never sell data. Full details in our Privacy Policy.
