APPEALS AND COMPLAINTS

APPEALS

All appeals MUST be submitted online at www.nforceparking.co.uk


When you submit an appeal, please ensure you supply ALL evidence to confirm your statement. Unless we have clear evidence that supports your case then your appeal may be rejected. We only base our decisions on the facts presented.


If you appeal to the IAS and your appeal is rejected, you will lose the option to pay the reduce amount.


In the event that you wish to dispute liability for a Parking Charge, within 21 days (beginning with the day after that on which the notice is given), please provide your full name and address, vehicle registration number and the Parking Reference on the front of the Notice providing your full reasons.


If payment has been recieved for a charge at any point then it will be closed with immediate effect and any appeals pending or submitted there after will be disregarded. We operate a no refund policy on any payments recieved.


Appeal decisions should be provided within 28 days. In the event that your appeal is unsuccessful then we will provide you with the appropriate details enabling you to lodge an appeal to the Independent Appeals Service. Details of the appeal procedure can be found at www.theIAS.org.


The Independent Appeals Service (www.theIAS.org) provides an Alternative Dispute Resolution scheme for disputes of this type. We will engage with the IAS Standard Appeals Service providing you comply with our internal appeals procedure as detailed herein and that thereafter you lodge an appeal to the IAS within 21 days of rejection. If you do appeal and do not hear from us within 28 days then please contact us, do not assume that your appeal has been successful.


We reserve the right to apply an administration charge of £15.00 for any action where adminstriative work is involved or the cancellation or removal of a charge (including approved appeals)
