Example appeal excerpts
“I write to formally challenge PCN XY12345678. The restriction signage at the location was obscured by foliage and not clearly visible from the parking bay, meaning no contract was adequately communicated as required by the Private Parking Single Code of Practice…”
“The Notice to Keeper does not comply with the mandatory requirements of Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. Specifically, it was not delivered within the relevant period, so the operator may not hold me, as registered keeper, liable…”
“A valid payment was made for the full duration of my stay; I enclose the transaction receipt. The charge appears to stem from a mistyped vehicle registration and should be cancelled in line with the operator’s own guidance…”

Free parking ticket tools
Most lost appeals are lost on a deadline. Check yours in seconds — no sign-up, built from the legislation and the official registers.
BPA or IPC lookup
Type the company on your parking charge to see whether it is a BPA or IPC member — and so whether a rejected appeal goes to POPLA or the IAS (both allow 28 days).
Notice to Keeper checker
Check whether a private parking company’s Notice to Keeper arrived in time under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 — if it was late, the registered keeper can’t be made liable.
PCN discount calculator
Enter the date on a council Penalty Charge Notice to see the last day for the 50% discount, when a Notice to Owner can arrive and when the charge rises by 50%.
Appeals Charter checker
Check whether the Single Code’s Appeals Charter says your private parking charge should be cancelled (a minor registration typo, an emergency) or cut to £20 (a wrong registration, a permit or Blue Badge not displayed, broken machines).

Frequently asked questions
Is AppealIQ really free?
Yes — every account includes one free letter every month, and signing up needs no card. You can browse the whole site and read every guide without an account; you only pay if you want more letters than that in a month.
How much does AppealIQ cost?
Every account gets one free letter every month. If you need more in the same month — say a second ticket — each extra letter is £2.99, paid once by card through Stripe. There is no subscription and nothing renews; unused bought letters never expire.
Does it work for both council and private parking tickets?
Yes. AppealIQ drafts letters for council Penalty Charge Notices and for private Parking Charge Notices from operators such as ParkingEye, Euro Car Parks and UKPC.
Will an AI letter actually help my appeal?
AppealIQ writes a formal, well-structured argument citing the right law and Code of Practice for your situation — far stronger than a blank page. You always review and send it yourself.
Is this legal advice?
No. AppealIQ produces a draft letter to assist you. It is not a substitute for professional legal advice — always check the letter is accurate before submitting it.
