Thanks for all your help. The panic stage is over. The other panic linked is that the car is not in my name so it wontb e me that get all the threatening letters and I'm sure daddio won't be too happy. I have warned him though.

I did read through the links from the first post, will look closer at the rest in the morning.

Dad won't get any letters if you appealed and gave your name/address as the driver. They have to address the threatograms to you not him now.

Night!

True yes but in the first instance before I appealed my concern was him getting them as he is the named owner of the vehicle.

They cannot go back to the RK of the vehicle, once they know who is driving they must only pursue the driver. Do as Coupon says its the correct advice. Don't take these scammers seriously as all they are interested in is money, so your appeal will probably be turned down. Your choice then is either ignore or go to popla, certainly don't pay.

F!*%!!! stupid company gave me a second ticket yesterday. Have appealed through their process but am steaming angry. I paid to park there! I paid £5 for 3 days and still got a ticket.

I know it's a scam (according to what you guys have said) but it makes me so angry!

Have appealed through their process (both tickets) however will take it to Popla if/when they refuse the appeal

That's the reason i said in theory. I am not naive enough to beleive it will happen, only slightly hopeful. had a scan through the links, i beleive my grounds for appeal would be the first one that the vehicle was not improperly parked, and therefore the charge is invalid. I had paid for a ticket for r******* road carpark and that was where I parked.

Their reply will be, that the conditions of parking are clearly displayed, you have not adhered to them your appeal is rejected, I guarantee that!
Look, these are not reasonable people, they are greedy parasites, you have hooked them in and now you will get their fright correspondence designed to make you crumble.
Just play with them from now on, and keep your money!

The thing is as far as I knew I had adheared to it! I paid for parking at r******* road which is where I parked.

I can't afford for £160 to go bye bye so I'm not paying it. I paid my £5 so the charge they are asking for is dispropriationate.

PRECISELY !!!!! Exactly why you should just ignore them.

Half_way

They can only realy go for you to recover any loses caused by your parking.

Im asuming that the initial payment went through the system and you have paid the standard rate.
In that case you owe them nothing, and the standard advice is to ignore, however if you are not the registered keeper (RK) , and you are concerned that the RK may get the threat letters etc etc then you can/should appeal, if you can do this via e-mail then thats great as it will save you the money of a stamp+envelope+papaer.


"To total car parks, you recently attached a parking ticket to my vehicle, which i shall not be paying on the following grounds:
I already paid tto park, however due to your confusing system the wrong information must have been entered, as I had paid to park you have suffered no losses, only those caused by your confusing payment system, as their is no loss, you can not claim any more money from me.
Also The sum demanded is excessive and way beyond any losses that could have been caused by my parking, as such it is a penalty charge, in any event there was no loss as I had paid.
Please either cease and desist from sending me any mail, or contacting me for any money with imediate effect, or send me a POPLA reference number.

That should stop them from harrasing the Registered keeper, who may pay up/fold and ask you for the money.
once the letters start coming your way you can either ignore, or send an appeal off to POPLA which is binding on the pakring company but not you, so if the appeal fails you can default to ignore.

I have seen the letter draft one the site so I have copied and pasted that to email to them. By the looks of it I have paid for the wrong carpark but it has the same name and is on the same street! And costs the same price. my invoice doesn't specify which of the two I paid for. They are literally walking distance of each other and are not labelled on the outside of the carpark.

I am leaving it alone now I have appealed through their system, and will send the email as well. Otherwise that'll be the end of it as not paying £160 for a ticket which cost me £5 AND I paid it.
