    Well you need to go back to them and say that they are breaching the bpa code of practice, tell them to either accept your appeal or send a popla code. Do this via post with a free proof of postage and via email.

    Also read this thread, and make complaints to the bpa and dvla, addresses in post #6 of the thread below. Attach a scan of your rejection letter

    When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
    We don't need the following to help you.
    Name, Address, PCN Number, Exact Date Of Incident, Date On Invoice, Reg Number, Vehicle Picture, The Time You Entered & Left Car Park, Or The Amount of Time You Overstayed.

    You get it from the post office counter, just ask for it and they will print it for you

    Post your letter at the post office and ask them for proof of postage. They will give you a receipt which you then file away with the rest of the sent and received documents. It stops UKCPS from saying later down the line that they never received your letter.

    You do everything in combination, don't wait for replies off one then go to the other, just send the complaints in to both the bpa and dvla

    Trust the people on here, they know what they are doing. I had a 'ticket' cancelled on Monday from this company after doing all of the above. Don't let the dvla or BPA fob you off though. Keep on at them!
