    Awesome, thank you all so much for your assistance. I'm going to make the amendments and send it in via snail mail at lunchtime.

    Please keep your digits crossed and I will definitely report back with the outcome.

    I'd buy you all a beer if I could!

    Just in case you didn't see my reply to you on Pepipoo:
    Ensure you get a (free) proof of posting from the PO (don't just stick it in the post box and hope for the best) especially as you're so close to your deadline. Any excuse to reduce the POPLA appeals' mountain needs to be insured against.
    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.

    Hi all,

    I've been meaning to post the outcome of my POPLA appeal for months now! Here are the basics......

    Parking Eye claim that I parked for 4.5 hours in a Morrisons supermarket in London when I actually visited twice in once day.

    Popla appeal submitted 21.08.13
    Points appealed:
    1. Failed to prove amount demanded is a genuine pre-estimate of loss.
    2. Failed to prove a fair and valid contract was formed to justify the amount demanded
    3. Failed to comply with BPA code of practice

    Popla decision received 22.11.13
    Result: My appeal was allowed on point 1 above and the charge was cancelled.

    Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of this appeal, you have no idea how much your input was appreciated :j
