Subject: Challenge to Parking Charge Notice PCN123456789

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing as the registered keeper of vehicle AB12 CDE regarding the Parking Charge Notice PCN123456789 issued at High Street Retail Park, Exampletown on 12 March 2025.
I wish to challenge the validity of this charge on one or more of the following grounds:

☐ Inadequate or unclear signage
☐ The alleged breach did not occur
☐ No genuine pre-estimate of loss
☐ Payment machine was not working
☐ Time allowed for parking was insufficient
☐ The vehicle was used for valid reasons (e.g., customer of on-site business)
☐ Disproportionate and punitive charge
☐ The driver was not the registered keeper
☐ Other: [Insert brief reason]

I require that you cancel the charge or, if you refuse, provide me with a POPLA code so I may escalate the appeal. I am under no obligation to name the driver and will not be doing so.

Yours faithfully,
Jane Citizen
