Don't call it 'appeal' - this is not a chance to appeal. This is you commenting on the evidence.

Don't mention 'Martin Lewis Money Saving website' either.

What was the wording of your appeal in the end? Hope you kept a copy?

Thank you, I just kept it very simple in the end, probably too naive, just was honest in the fact that I pulled in realised I had forgotten my purse, called home and left once confirmed whereabouts of my purse was. Too simple I expect.

Not too simple for a judge, who would no doubt find for you.

However, before it gets to court there will be threats, more threats, dire warnings, misinformation, and downright lies, from the company, debt collectors, solicitors acting as debt collectors, solicitors, and solicitors acting as solicitors.

Ignore all but the latter, attend court, and tell it like it was. The shining sword of truth shall defeat the forces of darkness.

Oh.dear...that is not a POPLA appeal. Even the POPLA website tells you that POPLA do not consider mitigating circs. Oh.dear.

ParkingEye sue people who lose at POPLA.

I hope you can claw it back by quoting the BPA CoP Grace periods now, go and grab them from the BPA Code of Practrice (Google it) and quote them and point out to POPLA they are breached here. Do not call it an 'appeal' anywhere.

Have you tried complaining to the Store Managers? Do so urgently as you are about to lose this, in all likelihood. But Store Managers can cancel.

You are being a bit alarmist CM. Even if she loses at PoPLA it is surely no big deal, they are heavily compromised and Judges are more than often sympathetic to what happened.

PE would be daft imo to try court.

But they will. Not alarmist, a realist...

Thanks both, have quoted what BDP say about Grace periods, am hoping that because the time specified is reasonable then I may be ok, or at the mercy of the Judges good nature! lol

Worth a try, is it too late to appeal to the car park owners? I thought it was after appeal? (not using that word though!!)

"is it too late to appeal to the car park owners?"
