bit of an update, my appeal was refused i have a popla verification number and i now need to draft an popla appeal peoples help would be very welcome

Your starting point is in the sticky at the top of the forum index page 'POPLA Decisions'. Read through the most recent - say last month or so. These are all winning POPLA appeals.

Have a go at drafting your appeal, then come back to us with a copy and we'll help you to fine tune it to give you your best chance of success.

Points to bear in mind:

* mitigation (telling your story - no matter how good) won't do it for you.
* concentrate your appeal around pre-estimate of losses, signage, contract with principal and lack of proprietary rights - they're the 'winners' at the moment.
* copy and paste others' points about the above, but then try to smarten them up into your own style and to suit the particular circumstances surrounding your parking incident.
* don't lose sight of the POPLA deadline for submission - miss that and there's no second chance.

ok here goes The Basic Draft of My Popla appeal :-

a) The parking charge is unenforceable as it is punitive and has no relation to any loss The Landowner Has suffered.

b) according to the BPA Code Of Conduct Version 3 June 2013 18.2 "entrance signs play an important part in establishing a
parking contract and deterring trespassers. Therefore,
as well as the signs you must have telling drivers about
the terms and conditions for parking, you must also have
a standard form of entrance sign at the entrance to the
parking area. Entrance signs must tell drivers that the car
park is managed and that there are terms and conditions
they must be aware of"
There Are No Visable Signs At The Entrance As The Enclosed Photographs Show.

Hoe Does This Sound Peoples Thoughts Please.

It is a start but not good enough.

Here is an appeal we worked on https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4717353

Now that may be a bit long, but the current silver bullet is no pre-estimate of cost.

Have a look at the post #298 on here https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4488337

and then look back at some of the latest winning appeals and you will get what you need to include.

Do a decent draft and then come back.

You've missed a number of the key winning points I gave to you in my advice in post #22.

As well as Guy's Dad's links I suggest you revisit #22 and carefully go through the winning points in it, then look for those in the POPLA Decisions sticky and you should find the form of words to wrap these up in.

Also look here on PePiPoo's 'Completed Case Summaries'.

Want to lose at POPLA? Then send them a short and weak appeal (sorry but it's true).

Want to win at POPLA and get the scam cancelled at the PPC's own expense? Then follow the links already given, and this, read these links too:

It's not confusing, you'll soon see a pattern to what to include. Show us your next draft, we want to help but we can't write this for you. These details were already available all over the forum, you didn't need links really if you had just read other POPLA threads on page 1, 2, 3 of the forum! But we've given these easy links because we want you to see what will win.
