Help with popla appeal letter please!!!

starstruck13

Hi, I received a Parking Charge Notice whilst unloading a Christmas tree into a friends flat in December. I did not respond to the windscreen ticket and waited for the NTK. I appealed to the PPC who rejected it and now have my POPLA code.

I have uploaded the rejection letter, please have a look to see if there is anything I could use for my POPLA appeal.



Here is an outline of the letter I sent to the PPC:

Following legal advice, I wish to challenge this PCN.

My challenge is partly based on the assertion that your parking charge does not represent a genuine pre-estimate of loss to yourself or the landowner and that you do not have sufficient interest in the land to issue contracts. In every case where a motorist has raised this issue against you, POPLA have accepted the appeal. You are therefore fully aware that there is no prospect of your charge being upheld.

If you do reject the challenge and insist upon taking the matter further I must inform you that I will claim my expenses from you. The expenses I will 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.

1. Your claim is not a genuine pre-estimate of loss.

2. I believe your company does not have sufficient interest in the car park to issue contracts to anyone.
(BPA CoP Section 7, a landowner contract must specifically allow Park Direct to pursue charges in your own name in the courts and grant you the right to form contracts with drivers. I require Park Direct to produce a copy of the contract with the landowner as I believe it is not compliant with the CoP and without it, Park Direct have no legal standing nor authority at this site which could impact on visiting drivers.)

3. Your signage does not comply with the BPA Code of Practice.

If you reject this appeal, I require within 35 days a POPLA verification code for me to appeal independently as per the requirements set out on the POPLA web site, further supported by the BPA Code of Practice.

Yours Faithfully,




Any help conjuring up a POPLA letter would be greatly appreciated, I do not want to say the wrong thing nor do I want to say too little.

Thanks in advance, your help so far in this process has been great.
