I tried to sift through the newbie thread and couldn't find the template letter to make a popla appeal. In my initial email I stated I was the driver
Could you provide the appeal template ltr here please ? Also should I complete the popla form they have issued me.
Thanks

Post #3 of the NEWBIES thread is the bit about POPLA and there can NEVER be a POPLA template as such, not a complete one to fit all cases. We've tried before and they get dated.

However, post #3 of the NEWBIES thread tells newbies to simply search this forum board for the name of the firm (first word or the acronym if a firm is known by initials only) and the word 'POPLA'. A search is the only way to be sure you are reading recent examples of good and relevant POPLA appeals. So in your case all will be revealed by recent 2016 examples when you search this board (not the whole of MSE) for 'Elite POPLA'.

In fact, I have just written a template appeal point for POPLA cases, regarding the usual 'unclear signs' point. It's shown in my post from today's date, in 'POPLA Decisions' so you can be the first to use it.

But POPLA appeals are made up of more than just an unclear signage point, as you will find when you read the results of your search. Show us what you put together with the suggested 'unclear signs' appeal point as #1 and then things like 'no landowner authority' etc. as you will see in other cases.

As you have named the driver as yourself, I'm afraid you cannot use 'no keeper liability under the POFA 2012' like other newbies do who came here before they wrote the first appeal. So do not copy stuff about POFA 2012 or 'keeper liability' verbatim into your draft.

BTW, we know there are some signs up and we know they almost certainly do have landowner authority! That's not the point. It's making them show it at POPLA that wins cases.

Template appal points are in POPLA Decisions (penultimate page) and you can use several. You need to look & decide which.

I just looked and they require your name and address - do we give this ?

Of course.

They require a reason. Which one do you pick

OTHER - like the NEWBIES thread post #3 and every other POPLA thread here - tells you. Then you attach your LONG PDF appeal as a document, like in every other POPLA appeal you will see. If you are about to tell us there is a 2000 word-count restriction, search the parking forum for '2000' because that's not relevant to you and the POPLA appeal you send will be much longer, with photos of signs embedded to illustrate your word document and stop the Assessor getting bored.

if my car was too big to fit in their bay but caused no obstruction.

That won't feature in the POPLA appeal anyway. Nor will any implication of the driver/who parked/who did what.

Go to POPLA Decisions (penultimate page, September posts of example template appeal points) or simply read a POPLA appeal in progress on page one right now, for inspiration.
