Lost at POPLA on GPEOL

gavcradd

Not entirely sure if this should be a new thread, but I think the importance of it deserves one.

So I lost at POPLA against Highview Parking, even though I used the GPEOL line (as well as others), then sent in a detailed rebuttal of their GPEOL calculation (concentrating on the fact that it itself contained £65 odd for responding to the POPLA appeal). Amy Riley ruled against me .

So I argued that she has not done her job properly by not considering the GPEOL line properly, again amoungst other issues, and lead assessor Henry Greenslade has again ignored this - the refusal has been upheld.

So, am I just unlucky or has something changed? One thing that did jump out in between this and other appeals that I've done - the line from some recent POPLA appeals that "there has been no initial loss that subsequent losses couild flow from". In my case, there WAS an initial loss of £1 for the parking fee. I did point this out on here when I first started the appeal, but people were very quick to poo-poo this and say it didn't matter.

One thing - this hasn't been for me, it's been for a friend. We've done all of this in his/her name as registered keeper. Now that we've lost at POPLA, what if we now named the actual driver? Would that give us a second go, on the hope of picking someone other than Amy Riley as the assessor?

Did this need a new thread? It should have been tacked to your previous thread about the POPLA loss. The exact texts of your review request and HG's response may be useful.

Naming of the driver can be done at any time prior to court action being initiated. Whilst the PPC will try to suggest otherwise, they will be lying (no surprise there then). But as the keeper has already made an appeal the PPC is under no obligation to offer a new appeal to the driver, so there's probably little benefit in doing so.

Highview/Ranger services dont do court claims

Just goes to show that POPLA is not fit for purpose and Henry Greenslade is an out-and-out hypocrite.

Well, this is where I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that when following the guidance on here, there was a 100% win rate at POPLA recently. Therefore, when I didn't win, I thought it was pretty big news and deserving of it's own thread.

If that isn't the case and others have lost at POPLA, maybe someone needs to update the sticky at the top of the page and change the attitude to people asking for help. Certainly when I started my posts off about this appeal, no-one seemed interested in any misgivings I had. I specifically raised the point that it was a pay and display car park and there was an initial £1 loss, but no-one even wanted to discuss it, simply stating again and again that it was an easy win.

unfortunately this is not the case with P + D for some operators, your quite safe though with this operator

I am of the believe that all popla GPEOL statements should be pre rebutted and an easy way round a lot of the P+D ones where things are more difficult is to name a driver and use a service address

I am trying to get people behind the use of services addresses and how they can help
