Hi new here and I received a parking notice on my screen from careparking when at a shopping place. I appealed this and was refused and have since found this site.

Basically cold wet day, parked the very back of car park while I run to cash machine facing, got cash ran back moved closer to the entrance. Driving home seen a ticket was attached to my screen and when I checked online it was issued when I had run to cash point.

Sent appeal which was refused on basis I shouldn't of left the car park at all. Charge is £100 reduced to £60 if paid within 14 days.

States I can log appeal to POPLA

Threatens court action.

What shall I do next?

Thanks

Should tell you on the letter of rejection they sent or by looking up the company on the web

If they sent you a POPLA code then they are a BPA member. This makes them far easier to beat.

Sorry to sound stupid but can anyone advise.

In the letter I appealed (I've since read and I put stuff in it I shouldn't of) I admitted I was the driver and also admitted to leaving the car and running to a cash point. It is a free car park to customers.

I dont have receipt and I paid cash. At the time I also did log a complaint with the company and I have still not had a response.

Do I need to now go right to the POPLA appeal stage and if so can anyone point me in the right direction for how I shoukd word this has I can't find it on the threads. I have seen the top sticky but is this all previous cases?

Thanks

It's OK. Don't feel as though you have to complete it in the next five minutes. Read this post and choose the areas that best suit your situation.

It was a free car park.
Care Parking don't own the land or have a contract with the owners to claim any money.
There charge is a penalty and they have no genuine pre0estimate of loss.

Expand on these points and others but be aware that Care suggest they can purchase car parks on their website.
