Another Excel parking fine

The thing is where you hit them is their pockets, appeal to popla cost them £32.40 no matter the outcome, if it succeeds its the end of the matter, but if it loses you can ignore as popla is binding on them but not you. I know if this goes to court they will have a hard job to win, your defence will be the email from them admitting you paid, and they want £60 knowing that. I think that the judge will have them on contempt. Frankly I'm amazed they are considering going ahead.Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?0 -
Your Appeal.
1. As Excel are not the landholders of this site then they do not have sufficient authority to make an offer for parking, and hence formed no contract with the driver. Hence no breach took place and no sum is due to Excel (see VCS v HMRC)
2. Excel have been made aware via my provision of a copy of the ticket, that the landowner has suffered no loss whatsoever and hence the sum sought would (if the contract did exist, which I refute) be considered a punitive penalty, and hence unenforceable under contract law (see Dunlop vs New Motor Garage).
Send them that. Let us know what they say in response!Je Suis Cecil.0
