The advice with Parking Eye, who has been 'appealed' to, is not to ignore but use POPLA, BUT with the right appeal which has a good chance of going your way. But you will need to word it right, ask the right questions of PE and use the right arguments. Someone more knowledgeable than I will be around soon to help you with a POPLA appeal. Before they do however, do a search of this forum(see search this forum above and select show posts)and you will probably be able to locate the kind help you need. But as I said, a 'regular' will be around sooner or later to help you re POPLA. You have little to worry about re PE's fake ticket btw.

Also have a read over on Pepipoo as there's lots of similar information there:

Between the 2 sites there'll be plenty of free help to develop a very sound POPLA appeal. So spend the weekend reading through the various threads about Parking Eye and others about POPLA processes and decisions, starting here:

Come back when you've digested some of these with any further questions and for reassurances. HTH

Either you have been frightened into paying when there was no need(ignoring Debt Recovery Plus and any solicitor is easy and they would go away) or you are a PPC troll? Which is it?

Let me guess. The solicitor was Graham White.

Lets re-word this for the converse and right advice:

I have just received a letter from Debt Recovery Plus which I will ignore as I did with the letters previously. I did not speak to any solicitor as the right and best thing I can do is continue to ignore and I will 'SAVE' myself £151.

Please DON'T pay!

:money:

And here is what a solicitor said to do with private parking tickets.

Or, I work for DRP and we are getting so desperate that I have been instructed by my boss to write this nonsense to try and fool people into paying up.

Come on PRM, we are waiting with baited breath for you to give us more details of your so-called "case". Or are you going to turn out to be a one-time troll?

You and that Solicitor are complete planks then.

Or you are a desperate PPC troll. Or a sad call centre underling at Debt Recovery Plus - James/Claire, is that you?! :rotfl:

No, you did the right thing appealing! :T

That's what we advise these days anyway. You mustn't ignore it at this particular POPLA stage - that would be DAFT seeing as this is your chance to get the whole thing cancelled and avoid those irksome threatograms.

It's not a hearing or anything, just an email appeal chance to get the thing cancelled by an independent assessor.

Do some homework and you'll win at POPLA, we think, as we know now how POPLA make their decisions (to an extent).

There's a quite a lot more to a POPLA appeal than a 'normal appeal' so please don't make the same mistake Eunos1 did and rush a weak appeal to POPLA missing the points that would actually win! When he followed the weak appeal with a stronger one it was overlooked and the PPC won the appeal. Not that he has to pay as it's not binding on the motorist. But I do hope Eunos1 will complain to POPLA but the lesson from that link is...get a strong, demanding and challenging appeal in first time!

Examples of stronger POPLA appeal wording shown here, near the end of these threads:

...and that second one has a link to the 'POPLA decisions' thread which shows you all the things that people have won on. You can see that the submissions that have won have been very detailed and demanding of the PPC, for evidence, as well as having facts specific to the case.

Did they tick all the boxes to get keeper liability established? Doubt it!

And you can allege it was clearly a penalty, not a genuine pre-estimate of loss. That point won a recent POPLA appeal as the PPC didn't rebut the point!

Did they comply in all ways with all points of the BPA Code of Practice; e.g. camera compliance/maintenance, deadlines met, wording spot on, signage clear? Doubt it!

Please tell us more about the allegation and what happened. And let's see your draft appeal for POPLA so we can make sure no possible points are missed - there are no worries about posting your draft POPLA appeal here as the PPC are soon gong to hear about it from POPLA anyway. And Parking Eye have already lost quite a few, where people get forum help!
