Firemanbill's Advice - A Possible troll, please treat his advice with extreme caution

Hi,

I help people in actual court cases, and go to court to help them. I can confirm Firemanbills advice is pure baloney.

A court case is not a guaranteed win, and one look at parkingeye's web site will show you that. However good your case is, if you don't have court experience and are up against an experienced solicitor, you are likely to lose. Fighting the case in court requires a lot of time and effort and you will probably be out of pocket even if you win, because you will not get your full lost wages for the day (costs are capped) or anything for the many hours involved in preparation.

On the other hand, fire off one short letter to the parking company, one short letter to popla and it all goes away, and it costs the parking company £27 and the BPA £100.

Simples.

In your dreams maybe.

In reality. Please don't post on things you know nothing about. I spend many hours freely helping people, as do the other posters on this site. People like yourself posting on subjects they are ignorant about does not help and plays into the parking operators hands.

The title of this thread has changed. (I remember seeing it earlier today). Having read the thread I am minded that the original title was apt.

I changed it as he may not be a troll but is completely deluded

Now there's a thought. Who is the keenest to obstruct, manipulate, and disuade motorists from going to POPLA? The parking companies! Whether by default or design firemanbill and the PPCs have that much in common!

Advice as requested:

'Cheer! Get the bunting out! Have a street party! Crack open the champagne!'

POPLA (or at least an 'independent' appeals service funded by BPA) is a pre-condition of POFA 2012. No appeals service, no POFA, and England & Wales are once again on a par with Scotland and NI, and 'ignore' once again becomes good advice.

What's not to celebrate?

(Though I don't think it will happen like that - it is far more likely that the name/branding will be reworked, and they will all carry on as before under a different banner...)

Finally I feel we are close to violently agreeing. If ignoring worked before POPLA because it's effective in the broader legal context, it works now, irrespective of the kangaroo process which has been created. More than 50 in a hundred appeals are failing and the number is rising. That's because the scammers are getting a handle on the process and, as I have posted passim ad nauseam, THEY FUND THE PROCESS. It was the cost of their gaining access to DVLA data. What? You think they want it any more than we do? It's a sham and they know it and so do we.

Ignoring does not worked as has been proved by Parking eye

Wide of the mark yet again. You haven't a clue about FB. Please don't make this personal. I thought we were on the same side. A robust debate is called for because there is skullduggery afoot.

Thanks for changing the thread title btw. But i think I preferred the original as it looked more spunky! Now this might disappear!

POPLA was not the cost of gaining access to the DVLA data.

They had that anyway (as does anyone with just cause). They also had the electronic link.

You are completely missing the point that most POPLA appeals aren't submitted with forum advice . Most will appeal on grounds of common sense and mitigation and they will lose , much as they actually would in court . Forums see but a tiny fraction of the overall numbers .
While the POPLA sham works for us why not use it ? If that changes well reconsider it at that time.
Engaging with PPC's virtually certainly sees them off for good , they are not staffed or equipped to deal with things properly .They just want to process payments .
