PPC referred to wrong car park

Hi Folks,

I found this to be an extremely helpful forum :T.
This is my first post ! :hello:

Long story short ;

I received a PCN on a free retail park.
I mistakenly replied to the PPC pleading innocence (before I found your forum)
PPC sent me a rejection letter.
I am going to appeal through POPLA.

I have genuine grounds for appeal and am citing ;

1. signage not compliant with BPA CoP
2. charge not a gpeol
3. no authority to enforce charges
4. charge is punitive and unreasonable

I noticed the PPC referred to a car park located many miles away in their rejection letter and not the one I was parked at but the PCN was correct. Can this be another arrow in my quiver?

Thanks to everyone in particular 'Coupon-Mad' who deserves a special mention for being so proactive on here.

I have deliberately kept my details vague as I have yet to submit the details to POPLA.

    Add it as point 5 but in all likelihood POPLA will stop reading once they see point 2 and award you a win.

    Which PPC are we talking about ?

    You only need one arrow in your quiver Robin of Loxley, the losses arrow, however if you need a couple of spares the contract and sign arrows will do you well, the wrong address arrow will not fly.

    The 'wrong car park address' arrow will fly if they send the wrong details to POPLA so if this was me I wouldn't include it now, just wait until you get sent their 'evidence' and if they've sent the wrong map then you can email POPLA to point it out as the final nail in the coffin.

    I won my appeal against UKPC Limited :j:T

    The reasons for the assessors determination was that the PPC did not provide any evidence in support of his PCN.

    Ah coupon-mad although a south east girl too, my husband would be quite happy of someone else bought me a drink. It would save him money...

    Coupon, if everyone who owed you a drink bought you one, you'd have alcoholic poisoning and hubby would be beside himself!

    Please start a new thread, as against hijacking someone else's, then read the Newbies post at the very top of the forum.

    Thanks
