    Who's this for please?
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Just won my registered keeper appeal to POPLA (vs MET Parking - McDonalds). The driver of my vehicle was yet another victim of the shameless "drive thru/failure to validate ticket" scam. Simple non-POFA case. Received the standard notification from POPLA advising me that "MET Parking Services have told us they do not wish to contest the Appeal. This means that your Appeal is successful and you do not need to pay the parking charge."
    Cheers for all your help on here. Much appreciated.

    Well done on beating them. :T

    Typical scammer, send threats in the expectation of a payment and when the victim actually stands up for themselves, met fold. It probably works 9 times out of 10 and the RK/driver pays up.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Appeal won and parking Eye have dropped their parking charge, all down to them not filling in their own paperwork properly ie, I had the golden ticket


    Parking Eye also had the gall to email my wife to say that we should follow their T's&C's more closely to stop this happening again in the future......ah, diddums.

    I was in a PE car park a couple of days ago. Their terms and condition run into hundreds of words, in very small print, about 7 feet of the ground. They could not make them more difficult to read if they tried.
