Ignore Happy Trickster's advice - he's Mike Perkins who works for Combined Parking Solutions a PPC !!!! Strangely, Combined Parking Solutions were recently banned from accessing DVLA data because of gross misconduct.

Thanks SodG24 for the heads up.:cool:
What a sad person he must be-coming on here and passing false information about.

Just shows what these PPC's are all about.

Other posters on this board have reported that right now ParkingEye are scared of POPLA, and are therefore caving in immediately when threatened with it.

Cheers, hoohoo, shall do that.

Parking is at the absolute discretion of the landowner.

So it is the landowner, not parking eye, who has the power to grant the right to park?

If they can't grant the right to park, they can't refuse or restrict the right to park.

Just found who the likely landowner is for that Tesco shopping place.

British Land

Now need to find out if they pay business rate on that car park or ParkingEye is fleecing people while no local tax being paid. And that should be available somewhere here:

SE16 7LL

Then off to the local council.

I replied to the ParkingEye along the lines I borrowed from few examples here and on Pepipoo. I have now received a 1.5 page letter from ParkingEye, which looks like it has been specifically drafted rebutting points made in my initial reply. There is no mention of POPLA but where I have referenced HMRC vs VCS and VCS vs Ibbotson, they gave some legalise arguments why these are not applicable.

I'd like to get some views from experts but do not want to post as this letter looks very individual.

Email or write to them and demand the popla code, tell them they must supply it within 35 days or it will be automatically dropped per the code of practice from the bpa. Also tell them that you have referred their letter to the dvla as they are not compliant by not referencing popla or making mention that there is an independent appeals process they are disregarding.

If they don't drop it I would be amazed.

My understanding is that there is someone at London Councils who is monitoring the PPC's compliance with the POPLA process, and I'm sure would be interested in learning about any appeal rejections that do not supply the POPLA code or details of how to appeal to POPLA.

Thank you ManxRed and Stroma. I think it would be beneficial if the content of the letter I received would be looked at by legally-minded heads. It would add to our understanding about PPC approach to framing our arguments.

There is no need to do that, just forward the letter to popla and the dvla, they will decide if there is a problem with the letter, by your description there is. The email address for the dvla is below for you
