So what next?

The BPA CoP requires the PPC to issue a POPLA verification code if a challenge (or appeal) is submitted and rejected. This is what you've submitted. BPA has no locus to determine whether an 'appeal' is suitable or not. However.

Try somethng like this:

I am writing to you regarding parking charge xxxxxxxxxx issued to vehicle xxxx xxx on xxxxx at xxxxx.

The Registered Keeper of the above vehicle denies any liability for the unenforceable charge detailed in the above Parking Charge Notice.

The charge does not represent any form of loss and as such it is punitive and therefore a PENALTY.

Confirm acceptance of this challenge and cancel the charge, or provide a POPLA verification code where a vigorous and robust challenge will be mounted.

No further correspondence will be entered into with you on this matter. If nothing further from you is received within 35 days of the date of this letter it will be assumed the challenge is accepted and the charge cancelled.

Failure to send a POPLA code would be a breach of the BPA Code of Practice. Be advised that failure to comply with a code of conduct to which you have committed would be an offence under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008, and I would not hesitate to report such a breach to the BPA, DVLA and Trading Standards.

Ok cool - I could try that, but I dunno really how different that is from the second appeal I sent them.

I could easily write again though!

Stick with it FionaCat.

Them making it difficult for you to get the code is going to act against them in the near future.

They are digging a big hole for themselves.

You will win in the end.

Do not give in and pay the parasites.

I would ignore them from now on and complain to the retailer (was it Tesco, I can't recall).

Just a question - seeing as Fionacat has already appealed the charge twice, unsuccessfully, would the 35 days run from the date of this letter, or the date of the first letter appealing the charge?

Coupon-mad

duplicate post!

The 35 days runs from the date of the first challenge because it WAS a challenge both times (albeit the second one was better).

Still wanting to see what the old boys club members at the BPA actually said!

I posted it in post #86 after someone asked.

Thanks again for all the help!

Oh yes, missed that! Pathetic - but you can see what we mean can't you, the BPA being just the umbrella organisation that's only there for the interests of (and led by) parking firms!

So it's up to you. If it were me, after two challenges I would ignore Highview and complain in writing instead to whoever contracted them; get the harassment by the monkey cancelled by the organ grinder.

Ok - I can do that. Thing is, it was Tesco, and I was way way over the time limit but I guess I shouldn't focus on that but instead on the fact that Highview didn't give me Popla like they should.

I'll ignore Highview and use the letters for the rabbit hutch lol
