    good

    here is one part of it , from post #1 , with the relevant part in red
    If you can't find any errors or omissions in the Notice, have no receipts, think you are 'bang to rights'

    or if you think you are 'too late', appeal anyway

    as the registered keeper (NOT IMPLYING WHO WAS DRIVING) based on anything! 'Unclear signage and no loss caused' or whatever example wording you want to use - the whole point being to get a POPLA code.
    and here in post #4
    ...and here's a case (link below) where a strong response to ParkingEye when they were nearly at court stage, pulled it back to a POPLA appeal stage even though ParkingEye had already stated (wrongly) that it was 'too late' for POPLA.

    It is NOT too late for POPLA, insist on it and they can't easily take it to court.

    You can make their position very difficult - and maybe a POPLA code and rejection letter will follow as it did here. months after the parking event:

    Keep responding and insisting on a POPLA code and rattling their cage. It can get a charge cancelled, can get a POPLA code and also looks better if it does go to court.
  • Many thanks :)

    about time too

    this info should also prove to this OP that parking companies CAN and DO give out a popla code or codes whenever they like in the process, they just dont like to ! ( they also tell people they cannot do this which is "economical with the truth" ;) )
  • I've someone go back and take a photo of the parking sign as I don't live anywhere near there, I don't remember seeing it (which doesn't mean that it wasn't there) and it looks very new:

    Does this help at all?


    As a new user I can't post the link so just add the 3w's.


    Regards,

    Same as any other case - you'll be pleased to know you will win at POPLA with the usual arguments shown in post #3 of the NEWBIES thread.

  • OK, I'm getting the idea of this although there is a tremendous amount of information available on this forum.


    I intend to write back G24 and reject their claim for the following reasons:


    1. Parking Notice not received within 15 days.
    2. The charge is not a genuine pre-estimate of loss.
    3. Non-compliant signage.
    4. No authority to issue invoices.
    5. Denial of right to appeal.
    6. The amount of the charge is disproportionate to the loss incurred by G24.


    Am I missing anything?


    Regards,




    Graham.

    2 and 4 are plenty for G24

    Yep but he needs to say that he never actually got a Notice until now, as well. Needs to state that very clearly and insist on his right to appeal, saying he is minded to complain to the BPA if they persist without offering POPLA.
