Why Bother doing anything if the lease trumps it.
At present, they have no provable loss to pursue.
the POPLA fees will give them one.Be happy...;)0 -
So I gather its been 35 days from the date of your appeal, so they have refused it and they have not provided a popla code so it's the end of the matter, they must either drop it or provide the code for each one. The bpa cop is specific in this. So any further communication should be complained to the dvla, popla, bpa, your mp, trading standards, local press and national press. Basically everyoneWhen posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.

And what difference does the driver make? As the car was parked, there is no driver! :-)
If they don't follow the BPA CoP regarding POFA, then they cannot invoke RK liability.
They must include a POPLA reference with the appeal rejection. Failure to do this = failure to comply with CoP = cannot invoke RK liability.
This means that they could only pursue legal action against the person who actually parked the vehicle, which is not necessarily the RK. They have to prove on balance of probabilities who the driver was.
To be honest you've probably already given them enough ammo for them to know who parked the car, but no worry, these things are unenforceable anyway. I guess we're merely trying to think of ideas whereby you can inconvenience this lot as far as practicably possible. A load of POPLA codes would certainly be the best outcome here.Je Suis Cecil.0 -
Any suggested wording re POPLA codes, taking into account that I have already asked? Should I send each request individually? I don't mind the cost of a stamp...what do they have to pay for each one?0

Has it been 35 days since they refused your appeal ? If so they must drop it if they haven't sent them onto you. I know some are saying cause them problems through a popla appeal. But I think they will get into more trouble if you complain specifically to the dvla and popla directly, and the other mentioned in my previous post as an option.When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you.

Say to them, "The BPA Code of Practice states that you must respond to an appeal within 35 days of its submission, and you must supply information and reference numbers for further appeal to POPLA if you are rejecting the appeal. If you do not supply the reference within 35 days of <whatever the date was>, you are therefore accepting my appeal, and I consider the matter closed."
If the carry on sending you threatening letters, then it's good scope for a complaint to the DVLA.0
