I beat APCOA at POPLA

Gsterb · 26 October 2016 at 9:06AM

Dear Forum,
Yesterday I received notification from POPLA that I won my appeal against APCOA.

I read a great deal of interesting stuff and content on this forum and constructed my defence across a few critical areas and detailed my stance around these and filled in the gaps.

Background:
£1.70 was paid to park a car I own at Stroud Station and a ticket stuck to the windscreen staying the car was positioned outside a parking bay.

My response was thoroughly aggressive and compelling and watertight.
APCOA across the appeal pushed back I had broken Bye Laws....and this gave me more ground to kick them again.

Pretty much all supporting data and evidence was gleaned from this site, with some personal 'add ins'.

I haven't posted my responses yet and didn't seek forum input as I felt I had gleamed all I needed.

If you search this forum, you will find what you need. It's quite hard work, but I am grateful and no longer have any spurious demand from APCOA hanging around in my world, which is a delight.
Even more and better.....I beat these !!!!!!!s!!!🤓🤓😳😜

Nice one, and well done on a DIY job. Food for thought for those who want spoon-feeding to the point of asking 'first or second class stamp?'

Any chance you could show us your appeal documents? Would be helpful to see where you delivered the KO blows.

Be aware that its not unknown for POPLA to overturn their decision ""due to more evidence becoming available"". IE, bung to the right people. Not sure how lawful that is though.

I will copy the documents and upload (they are PDFed) and today I am working off my phone

Below is the response I sent to APCOA last night, just because 'I can'!

No chance at all the decision will get overturned as I spoke to POPLA yesterday and a formal letter was in last nights post.

Satisfaction and a sigh of relief and hence the vitriolic email below, which was a reply to their initial reply by email some time ago. Incidentally I am not expecting a reply to this &#55357;&#56843;:

Dear APCOA

Further to my email below, today I heard from POPLA and understand that APCOA failed in their attempt to extort money, without any legal standing or credibility from the owner of the vehicle!

In itself a very amusing outcome

Or to put it a basic and other way:

"YOU DOPEY !!!!S LOST!"

Have a lovely day and please do pay the invoice I am sending through for the damage to my property and the subsequent cleansing costs, very promptly to avoid a further arbitrary / legal 'caining'!

Have a great afternoon and just don't mess with the Best, cause you just are not good enough &#55358;&#56594;&#55358;&#56597;

Well done! I love your letter to the scammers.

Please post your PoPLA result in the POPA Decisions thread sticky at the top of the board. Thanks.

another bylaw case that slipped thru the hold by POPLa , looks like half of their staff cannot read there main page , as late as this week people were being told there cases were being put on hold?

now what would have happened if POPLa had found in favour of the PPC? , you would have been asked to pay , for a charge that should not of existed

12 mths ago I would have suggested telling the ISPA that POPLa were making cockups , but as 40% of there staff have now gone , the remaining 3 being a retired policeman , a disabled civil rights "mouth" and a board member of the BPA , what is the point

Is that not being discriminatory against us cripples PG?

The other possible reading of it is that POPLA have now decided that they can adjudicate on Bye-laws cases but haven't made the decision public.

no there was a case this earlier this week on pepipoo where they received an email stating a delay
