Parking Charge Notice from Premier Park

Stroma

And if after the end of the month they send a debt collector to chase you for money, if it was me I would send them a letter before action outlining the above, with a view of suing them and their agents, plus of course the retailer/landlord for harassment.

And by the way there is no reason why you can't complain to the company who administers the land, about this now.

It's a catch 22. You can't go to POPLA without a proper code. So you wait for one. One doesn't arrive within time, POPLA won't accept it after time, except in exceptional circumstances.

So you are denied appealing through the "proper channel".

Wait for any further letters.

You then claim that the PPC are acting unlawfully in not following up the correct procedures as agreed with the BPA, government (POFA 2012) and you look forward to seeing them in court.

Thanks Guys Dad, The wording on the rejection letter states:

You now have 3 options;
2, Make an appeal to POPLA - The independent Appeals Service @ popla.org.uk. You will require a unique POPLA verification code. If you have any further evidence to submit or you require this code please write to POPLA NUMBER REQUEST - Premier Park Ltd.... within 7 days.

Would this count as being 'denied appealing' in your opinion?

I would think so, according to POPLA :-

The operator should provide the verification code with the rejection

There it is in black and white.

The " within 7 days " is another contravention.

And, of course, your rejection letter was held up by the post and by the time you received it, the 7 days had elapsed, hadn't it??

So, there was no point in asking for it was there??? ;);)

Bit strong. What they have done has not broken any laws, just a code of practice. Don't over-egg the situation; it only provides them rope to hang you by.

hoohoo

+1 for coupon mad. Wait until the 35 days have elapsed, then inform them that as you have not received a POPLA code your appeal has been automatically upheld.

Yes, bad choice of word.

Either demand it and say you will be taking the matter to POPLA at their expense (making it clear you know what POPLA is about and that they have to fund it).

Or wait until 35 days have elapsed from when they would have received your appeal (assumed to be 2 working days after you sent it, if posted, and straight away - in working hours - if emailed). Then after that period you could email or write to tell them they have breached the BPA code by not providing a POPLA verification code within the timescale required and that any further correspondence will be harassment and their breaches will then be reported to the BPA and DVLA.

I would take the second option if it were me.

Premier Park seem to be taking a stance of ignoring appeals and letting the time run, I guess they would rather lose the opportunity to send threatograms than incur the POPLA fee.....they've not replied to my 5 recent appeals nor one from December :-(

Says a lot about how valid they think their claims to cash is, anyone getting a rejection from this company in the manner of the OP should just wait the 35 days and forget about it.

husheechee

got another one of these on the 22/02/2013(alleged date of parking contravention),date of issue..01/03/2013 and they also state that i have 28 days to appeal... now the second letter arrives 9 days after the first but dated 10/03/2013 and this is what was stated...."Further to the recent parking charge notice,this parking charge remains outstanding and you have till the 15 march 2013 or the amount due will increase" err what do i have till the 15th of march? and why when im allegedley given 28 days to appeal do they send me another threatogramme stating that i now only have till the 15th(for what) or they increase it...me thinks this is only 23 days...im just a bit confused now.
Usually i would ignore these without hesitation but now i want to take them through the appeals process....any template letters about?
