UKCPS - advice please?

Hi there

I have a 'notice to keeper' for parking in a car park in Leeds (Edward Street) from UKCPS.

Been doing quite a bit of reading on here and understand I should probably appeal and then prepare the right response for POPLA.

I was parking for a job interview and knew I could pay by credit card. When I went to pay at the machine, the credit card payment machine wasn't working.... I followed the instructions multiple times and it just wouldn't function. I had a witness, though sadly didn't take their details. I didn't have any cash and by this time would have been late for interview if I didn't rush off - so off I went.

I'm happy to pay the price of parking - though of course would rather not pay the £60/100 fine.

I would appreciate any advice on:

• Whether I should be appealing at all
• If so, perhaps I should be careful how I word it......considering I'm ultimately admitting I didn't pay?

Cheers

appeal using this as RK

Dear UKCPS

As the registered keeper of (reg) I'm in receipt of your parking invoice xxxxxx dated xxxxxx. I wish to invoke your appeals process as all liability to your company is denied on the following:

1) The amount being claimed is not a genuine pre-estimate of loss to your company or the landowner
2) Your signage does not comply with the BPA Code of Practice
3) You are not the landowner and do not have the capacity to offer contracts or to bring a claim for trespass

These points and others will be raised with POPLA should you not accept this appeal, and you will be expected to provide a full breakdown of your alleged loss, and your full unredacted contract with the landowner.

If you do reject the challenge and insist on taking the matter further I must inform you that I may claim my expenses from you. The expenses I may claim are not exhaustive but may include the cost of stamps, envelopes, travel expenses, legal fees, etc. By continuing to pursue me you agree to pay these costs when I prevail.

Any communication that does not either confirm cancellation or include a POPLA verification code shall be reported to the BPA as a breach of their Code of Practice - the BPA recently issued guidance to all members to remind them of this fact. Such communication may also be deemed harassment and pursued accordingly.
