Urgent advice needed! CPM rejected my appeal!

Save it into photobucket or tinypic.

Also search for 'UKCPM' and read the 'How to win at POPLA' linked examples in post #3 of the 'Private Parking ticket? NEWBIES read these FAQs first' sticky thread.

Defo appeal to Popla and use the stuff Coupon Mad has directed you to. Mitigating circumstances will be pointless. You need to use the regulations and laws that the PPCs have to abide by.

You might also like some light reading to know what the BPA have told their members and thus will know if the PPC has told you BS. See here. This is the Feb 2014 version and contains the POFA 2012 schedule 4 info. Additionally you'll find Appendix E useful. If the PPC has told you BS and you can produce evidence for it, do complain to the BPA and the DVLA + CC the PPC into your email.

As we seem to have a moron stopping proper threads being displayed ..... bounce.

Can someone try to convert the above links? I hope this works as I have been trying to convert these pdfs into images all day! (I am no IT expert, hence it took all day)

Having read the newbie sticky, I know I have shot myself in the foot by admitting I was the driver in the appeal. My appeal was purely based on mitigating circumstances - call me naive and dumb - it was my first parking appeal.

I know my appeal letter is not great but I have less than 14 days to either pay or appeal, hence the rushed job.

Can my situation be salvaged?

any takers?

You've got a 2nd chance. Appeal it at Popla and use the templates in the newbie thread. Post back on here if you want someone to check it for you before you send back to Popla

BTW you need to urgently white out yr address details etc. It is very visible in your photos (despite using a pen to go over it). Use Paint or photo editor or something to totally wipe out any information that says it is you.

ok. I will draft one and post it here tomorrow. Does it matter that my second appeal is a dractic change of direction? First appeal based on mitigation, second on law?

Not one jot! Look at Half_way's post to another poster and the Parking Prankster's efforts:

You can appeal completely differently to POPLA (but you just won't be able to use the POFA 2012 'no keeper liability' argument and pick holes in any NTK, that's all).
