    "On a without prejudice basis Parking Eye are willing to accept £27 in order to cancel this charge. Should payment not be made, further action will be taken as outlined in the letter before county court claim".

    The bold bit means they know they won't win in court. That's why the term is used - any such offer made without prejudice cannot be used as evidence in court. If they were confident of winning in court they wouldn't have said those two words. ;)

    I would get the Letter and LBCCC parking eye for harassment damages and personal injury tort (stress) and for quite a considerable sum given the amount of stress they are causing.
    Someone needs to swat these pests, batting them off is not working.
    Be happy...;)

    It's not just the pests, but the misery mongers that hire them that are at fault. If a surgery is offered a contract that costs them little or nothing, they are well aware just how the PPC is going to make its money and the sums involved as charges.

    I have just read your first post again.

    What has happened in relation to the LBCCC?

    What date is it, and did you acknowledge it?

    I received the LBCCC 7 days ago as the popla hearing was a few days prior to that.

    I did not respond to it but I immediately contacted the surgery, who have told me in emails that they have had the parking charge cancelled as I was a genuine patient.

    Since getting those emails from the surgery I received the WOP letter explaining that PE now know that I was a genuine patient but still wont cancel the charge unless I pay them the £27

    In order to get a POPLA code, parking Eye must have rejected an offer to cancel, thus they created the POPLA fee not you.
    If they do not like it, they could always start reading appeals instead of having a monkey pressing a big button that prints a reject letter.

    Hey Guess what parking eye, belligerence does cost money, read the appeals and decide if it is better to cancel it when you discover you were wrong.
    POPLA will agree with you parking eye, YOU OWN THEM or as good as 99.9999%

    Parking Eye, if you are suffering losses, this is because your staff are either incompetent in failing to mitigate your loss by not reading appeals or you are just plain greedy.
    Either way, I am glad you lost £27.
    Be happy...;)
  • I have now been informed from somebody that works there that the doctors/surgery are the landowners. They are not 100% but are pretty sure.

    If you do have to go to court, can you get to Brentford and as for the case to be assigned to Judge Jenkins?

    I think when Daisy gets a moment she may be able to draft you a response to the LBCCC and the without prejudice ofer.

    I reiterate that (under the terms of POFA 2012 I think, or it may only be in the BPA CoP and the POPLA terms of service to the PPC industry) a PPC cannot pass to a motorist, the cost of a POPLA appeal.

    Did their 'wp' letter actual state it was for the wasted POPLA fee?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Yes, that is exactly my intention.

    OP I will pm a couple of letters to you. It will probably be tomorrow now, but you have 14 days to reply to the LBCCC so that is not a problem.

    In the meantime it would be really useful if you could find out if the surgery does own the land. Maybe check the land registry? As far as I know you can check for free, you only pay if you print off the title deeds which you don't need to do at this stage.
