Although - without wanting to speak for Coupon-Mad or SodG24 - we find it hard to believe anything Norman Baker ever says.

Indeed - he's particularly poor at telling the truth on how long it takes to walk from Brighton Station !

You know we all speak from the same hymn sheet about Mr Baker, as all BHA fans do. Not the most popular 'guy' in the area. But of course we have seen much, much worse 'guys'!

Build a bonfire......:cool::D

What if I have received a penalty from an Operator that is not a member of the Approved Operator Scheme?

And clearly biassed. I see that the text from the BPA-sourced form is still there, including,
"However, the fact that you do not think you should have to pay the parking charge or the fact that you had paid to park (even if, for example, the voucher was not clearly displayed) are not valid grounds of appeal."

That is clearly nonsense as the only reason for appealing is because you don't think you should have to pay. Time to complain?

Absolutely shocking, so nobody can appeal on the validly of the tickets in law. And that leaked document was true, how can't his be an independent appeal when the bloody bpa are intimitaly involved and actually own the popla domain?

Grounds of appeal

The grounds under which you can appeal the parking charge notice are as follows:

• The vehicle was not improperly parked: e.g. that the vehicle was not parked where stated on the parking charge notice; that you believe you were still within the time you paid for; that the voucher was clearly displayed or that the conditions were not properly signed. However, the fact that you did not see the sign; that you bought a voucher but it fell down, that you did not see the bay markings or that you did not realise that you could not park where you did arenot valid grounds of appeal
• The parking charge (ticket) exceed the relevant amount: e.g. that you are being asked to pay the wrong amount for the parking charge or that the charge has already been paid. However, the fact that you think that the charge is excessive is not a valid ground of appeal.
• The vehicle was stolen: e.g. that the vehicle was improperly parked after being stolen. However, the fact that someone else was driving your vehicle, for example a family member, friend or colleague, is not in itself a valid ground of appeal. The fact that you told the driver that they could only use your vehicle on condition they did not get any parking tickets is not a valid ground of appeal.
• I am not liable for the parking charge: e.g. that you had sold the vehicle before, or bought it after, the alleged improper parking. However, the fact that you do not think you should have to pay the parking charge or the fact that you had paid to park (even if, for example, the voucher was not clearly displayed) are not valid grounds of appeal.

Just sent a complaint, in which I asked that very question.

BTW, do you think we could get this forum and pepipoo added to their list of useful links:http://popla.org.uk/usefullinks.htm :

Will the parking charge increase if I lose my appeal?

You will have already lost your right to the early payment discount offered by the operator and be liable for the full cost of the parking charge notice. If your appeal is refused you should pay the full parking charge within 14 days in order to avoid any further action by the operator. Do not send any payment with this form

The wording is appaling. All this is going to do is to encourage more people to pay up, am sure its been worded by the BPA. Basically people will think because an offical body is saying you will need to pay then they will just pay up

I am still going to be doing my appeals on the basis i am not legally liable for the charge
