Is this company classed as a small company in the flowchart?

hoohoo

The big problem with the IAS appeal system is that they can pick and choose assessors until they find one or more who always side with the parking company.

Now they have finally amassed the team of yes men it seems the motorist is at an unfair disadvantage.

Another major flaw in the IAS appeals system arises from the grotesquely unfair rule that the motorist has only one chance to submit their evidence to the IAS. This unfairness is compounded by the fact that this evidence is then shared with the PPC before the PPC is required to submit its own evidence pack. This puts the PPC at a significant advantage because the motorist is given no right to reply to the PPC’s submission.

Sorry for the slow response from me, I stopped getting notifications from the forum again.

Looking at what's written above, I should start writing to my MP and the IPS whilst waiting for Link's next play?

Will writing to the IPS make a difference now that they are making willful steps to separate the IPS from the IAS in their website literature?

I wrote to the IPC, The IAS, the DVLA, my MP, and Mr. Pickles - not one of them seemed to admit the blatantly obvious flaws in the IAS' appeals system. Pretty ridiculous.

Surely if IPC companies ever take anyone to court after winning one of these joke appeals it will harm their chances - as the motorist will be able to display a clear attempt at trying to sort this through the appeals process with strong arguments, and all the PPC will be able to provide is an anonymous, badly worded, poorly argued paragraph or two from a clearly not-independent adjudicator filled with nonsense like "onus is on the appellant to prove (a negative)", "well-rehearsed arguments" and "I do not feel the need to say anything further on this matter".

What a shambles.

It certainly isn't very impressive.

The "well rehearsed arguments" comment smacks of someone who fails to understand that one may take one's advice from where one chooses and believes that anything that originates from the internet lacks any merit. It also betrays a degree of legal snobbery.

Were this intellectual giant to have thought things through they might just have concluded that so-called "well rehearsed arguments" are something of a necessity as far as IAS appeals are concerned because the appellant, from a detailed perspective, has no idea of the legal arguments upon which the PPC bases their case because they are not privy to the information that would seem to be the minimum requirement in terms of natural justice.

Very soviet.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I am querying whether to appeal before I receive any further contact from them.

Just been hit with a PCN on my windscreen.

Just thinking about your case as I have another idea. If your parking event was 13th June or later try sending a cancellation notice, discussed here:

They will reply telling you to 'dream on' - but so what?! In my view these parking contracts are covered by the EU Directive which led to this updated Consumer Law.

Just a new idea and weapon for the back pocket for people in your shoes or who get a LBCCC or who want to strike back. Read the Consumer Regs linked there - about the right to withdraw - and check out the Model Cancellation Form near the bottom of the Regulations.

Nothing to lose and could be worthwhile as an extra defence point if a PPC tries to sue. Show the Judge you exercised your right to cancel this 'foisted on you without prior request or express agreement' contract within 12 months and the PPC didn't serve the information in advance so they cannot claim anything.

Untested but a new idea - read the regs and see what you think.
