Well I "lost" my appeal and now have a genuine official POPLA reference code. The letter states the fee will be £100 if I appeal and I have to appeal on the same grounds. LOL, what utter tosh, since that appeal I have learned so much more so now my defence is different.0

AH now that puts a different spin on it. No one mentioned that the motorist would have to stump up £100 as well. And do you get the £100 back of you win? presumably, if you lose they deduct the scam charge from the £100, which puts an entirely different spin on it. Under those conditions, its not worth bothering with POPLA at all, and the strategy seems to be carry on ignoring.0 -

Mmmm well well well the appeal to POPLA has to be on the same grounds then - is that according to the POPLA appeals form? or the PPC's letter.
IF its a stipulation on the POPLA appeal form supplied to the PPC by popla then POPLA need to add this information to their web site - as The rules for appeal are not advertised as far as I can see...
A bit naughty and plays into the hands of the PPC already as they have the knowledge and the motorist does not. As I see it......
Please correct me if I am wrong or have got the wrong end of the stick..0 -
Can't see where it says that you have to pay them £100 before popla, if that was how you meant it to be read.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

I think he's referring to the PPC charge going up to £100 not a charge to go to POPLA.All aboard the Gus Bus !0 -
I had guessed that but if thats how its worded on the letter it could be confusing to a newbie.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

Exact wording please.0

I read it as the letter from the PPC states THEY will up their "FINE" if the driver appeals to POPLA.
Thats saying we will fine you more if you appeal.......0 -
Can they even do that?Je Suis Cecil.0
