Good point about Parc Tawe, its like a ghost town there.

Had my third letter from Highview, I now owe them £115 after Popla reviewed the case in thier favour. Just put return to sender on enverlope and sent back. Will keep on ignoring and returning to sender.

Cheers

You should have asked us for appeal help for popla, there are many things that you could have put there that you never thought of. Anyway I do recommend that you keep the letters that they send, just file them away under scam and yes popla decisions are not binding on you.

Don't send the letters back - do keep them in a file and just ignore them unless they decide to break the habit of a lifetime and try a small claim. If they do (VERY RARE FOR ANY PPC AND WE HAVE NEVER HEARD OF HIGHVIEW TRYING IT!) for goodness' sake please do get advice here and on pepipoo rather than trying to fight your own corner. And you will need those letters as your evidence of who said what and when, so stop returning them. You are almost marking yourself out as a perfect victim for their first small claim you know!

We could have helped you win the POPLA appeal...what a waste. Never mind, just keep the letters and simply check none are ever a real court claim from Northampton.

Hi everyone - Just wanting to chime in here too because I just got done myself. I don't want to go over old ground, but my main question is should I ignore them, or appeal using a government agency/website such as Popla as mentioned in this post?

If this is the first letter, a 'Notice to Keeper/Owner' then you can challenge it and you WILL NOT be paying this but if you want to use POPLA you have to challenge first to the scammers.

Your options are:

- to challenge it, if this was the first letter to the registered keeper, then appeal to POPLA with our help (if this was in England or Wales only)

- OR ignore it (a must if in Scotland) and a reasonable option in England/Wales if you don't mind ignoring debt collector letters and doesn't scare easily.

See this link about what a PPC has to get right:

and this thread with the BPA Code of Practice - most PPCs fail to comply in several ways so spot the difference, consider where they have failed, use it in your appeals:

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/....php?t=4535287

and this sticky thread which shows successful POPLA appeals - most recent ones have won now that we know the system:

POPLA Decisions thread.

This is a well-known 'fake PCN issuer' and if you decide to send a challenge make sure it doesn't even tell them anything.

Hi there,

I've just received a parking charge notice from Highview Parking for spending too long in Tesco.

They have stated changes in the law effective from October 2012 so thought i'd check it out......
Am I right in reading this correctly regarding the issue of the notice.....

Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (Schedule 4, Paragraph 7, sub-paragraph 4)

(4)The notice must be given—

(a)before the vehicle is removed from the relevant land after the end of the period of parking to which the notice relates, and

(b)while the vehicle is stationary,

by affixing it to the vehicle or by handing it to a person appearing to be in charge of the vehicle

So if I have received it in the post 11 days later I am not liable in any way to pay so called 'damages' ????

Nope, you have got that wrong because there's a separate section about tickets sent by post. We know about that law, it's nowt to worry about.

Start your own thread or (better still, first) read the other Highview/Tesco thread I have just posted on. The one in question is where the passenger was disabled but if that's not your situation you can still appeal and win with our help. Please read it anyway, first page of the forum.

I really suggest you get off this random old archived thread which dates originally from Oct 2012(!), and read new ones on page one of the forum instead (see my signature for where to click if not used to nipping around a forum).

Then when you've read some threads, start your own if you want people to check your planned appeal wording for Highview, which you need to base on the links you will find on other new threads. Look at ANY new threads on page one/two of the parking forum, about ANY private parking company and you will find examples of the first 'soft challenge' wording.

You should complain first at Tesco of course as they can cancel these.

Well it's been a year since the ticket and about six months since I last heard from Highview. I returned the last letter with "return to sender on the envelope". I am assuming they have given up chasing me!

BTW Not shopped in Fforestfach Costa or Mamas and Papas since !! I see Pizza Hut is leaving Fforestfach for a new location.
