Newbie Parking tickets (won on appeal)

om2ae

First post guys: - Having read everything on here about private parking tickets I went off and appealed (via POPLA) against two fake tickets from Parking Eye.

Got the appeals back this morning and I have won both.

Big thank you to all who post on here and for all of the great advice!

I would rather not put details up, however PE couldn't even be bothered to send POPLA any PCN or information so the assessor found in my favour!

Wow ! well done to you I guess you took onboard what you needed then went and did what you needed to do ? Can you post up the wording from popla please.

Hi Stroma,

PE didn't send anything in to POPLA at all: -

The wording used in the letter is: -

It is the Appellant’s case that the parking charge notice was issued incorrectly.

The Operator has not produced a copy of the parking charge notice, nor any evidence to show a breach of the conditions of parking occurred, nor any evidence that shows what the conditions of parking, in fact, were.

Accordingly I have no option but to allow the appeal.

This is exactly the same for both fake tickets!

H Stroma,

Should have added: - Yes I read the newbie section first, followed the suggested procedure.

As expected PE rejected the first letter (standard automated rubbish).

Then asked for the POPLA code.

Submitted the appeal and waited. Decisions came through this morning.

Thanks for the wording and my biggest thanks for taking the advice on here and getting on with things. Just a heads up to other newbies it can be done with the thread below

That's great news and as Stroma says it shows the advice works!

LOTS of PPCs just fold at a strong first appeal; this OP says 'to anyone else reading this -- follow the advice in the newbies thread!! It works '

Forum POPLA appeals win - certainly in cases where the signs allege 'breach of contract' or 'failure to comply'.

No need for a new thread in many cases except to let us know when you win!

hi i recently posted about a letter we received through the post which was a parking ticket. i followed the advice given and sent them a reply that i got off your website. But we have received another this weekend to say that my husband left the area which he didn't as he was in the shops the whole time. The letter is so complicated and they want us to pay the reduced rate of 60 if we pay now. Can you tell me what my next course of action is please.
