Popla cannot enforce anything! They are not an authority and their decisions are not binding. Also they do not do mitigating circumstances so don't use them.

So if POPLA rejected my appeal, what would happen then?

You are taking this far to seriously, parking on private land is unregulated, there are no laws around parking apart from contract, and that contract is inherently unfair as there is no loss. They can only claim for losses, what loss have they had?

If you look at this from the stand point of them being powerless scammers then you can see what this is, an invoice asking you to pay

Look, these parking companies make up their own rules and then expect everyone else to play by them. If I come round to your house and pin a notice up on your door telling you that you have entered a contract to pay me £50 every time you go through it, are you going to pay me (please say 'yes' as I could do with the dosh ) Seriously, you need to have a read around the forums and familiarise yourself with the process.

Have a look at this thread by one of our regular posters which gives a walk through of what to do.

POPLA appeals are won on the legal issues that the parking companies try to ignore (and hope that you will too), not on anything you did or did not do.

So what's my first step? Appeal to them and put in the letter a request for a POPLA code if my appeal is rejected?

Like I say, it may be been that the permit fell down from the dash/windscreen so was not on display. But how can I be expected to check my car every 5 minutes to make sure that the permit is still there?!

where's the permit now?
If it's your car then unless you've got in your car at some point since the PCN was issued and not noticed that the permit isn't in the window, or was on the floor...it should still be in exactly the same place it was then. It wouldn't have fallen off and put itself back on the dashboard,

Yes appeal to them then if they reject go to popla with our help

This is what I don't know. I didn't get a ticket put on my car and only found out about it when I got a letter through the post saying that is had been 28 days since the ticket was given to me.

Should I ask the PPC for evidence that demonstrates that my permit was definitely not on display at the time and date they stated in their NTK?

There is no legal issue, there are no laws around private parking! The law of contract is not specifically for parking, but the laws around contract must be fair, this situation won't go beyond writing a few letters and that's it cancelled.

Read that thread I linked to above

Look we are going around in circles, please listen to what has been advised. Appeal then expect a rejection then go to popla. I have seen your situation thousands of times, your circumstances are not unique.
