    POPLA doesn't apply for a parking event taking place in Scotland.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    POFA doesn't apply, but PoPLA does surely?

    A PoPLA code should have been offered by the scammers with the rejection. If one hasn't been received one by about day 35 you should complainto the BPA.

    I don't think so. From the POPLA FAQs:
    Can I appeal to POPLA if I have received a Parking Charge Notice for alleged improper parking in Scotland or Northern Ireland?

    POPLA can only deal with appeals against Parking Charge Notices for alleged improper parking in England and Wales. We are unable to consider appeals against Parking Charge Notices for alleged improper parking in Scotland or Northern Ireland.

    OK, thanks for the clarification. I shall file that away in the brainbox for future reference.

    So, no independant appeal available outside E & W. It's an even bigger sham than I had realised.

    Hello a quick update I have been told by the McDonalds staff that they no longer have the power to instruct any cancellations of parking tickets.


    Does this apply only in Scotland or the UK as whole or is this a smokescreen to stop me phoning again?


    Any information gratefully received!

    Standard fob-off line, not restricted to Scotland. Commonly known south of the border (and in many other countries) as BS!

    McD's staff are only limited to serving a McD breakfust muffin with a mouldy egg ?

    Recent events about UKPC show that HMRC have a winding up petition against them

    http://parking-prankster.blogspot.co.uk/2017/04/ukpc-winding-up-order.html

    This was presented on 21 March 2017 by the COMMISSIONERS FOR HM REVENUE AND CUSTOMS

    Could be that soon UKPC will be up the McDUFF anyway
