Panel declined to hear appeal, no POPLA code

bazster

More BPA bullsh|t. Complain to DVLA and your MP.

You are entirely correct. A DR company shouldn't be involved before the RK has even been able to appeal, but welcome to the world of private parking.

Similarly, why on earth would you send an appeal to a debt recovery agency?

Anyway, wait for the rejection and the POPLA code and send in a winning appeal. That'll learn 'em.

Should I reply asking them to investigate this properly? I am fuming that the BPA have let me down too.

You should. CP Plus issued the invoice, not DRP. So you should have appealed to CP Plus.

hoohoo

What did the NTK state? If the NTK stated 'appeal to DR+' then you should have appealed to them. If the NTK says 'appeal to CP plus' then the bpa are talking !!!!!!!!

On the back of the NTK it states

‘If you write to us within 28 days of the date of this notice We will consider your case’. We will then either cancel the PCN or reject your representations.’

It says after 28 it may be passed to 'a debt recovery company'. Nameless, and with no contacts.

What's most annoying is that the BPA have this code, and it appears either they don't actually know it themselves, or are willing to be fobbed of by their members with lies, and then pass that onto to us as fact.

hoohoo

In that case, reopen the case with the BPA, send them the NTK and state that the instructions are to contact CP Plus, not DR+.

Write back to the BPA and point out their errors.

Careful it doesn't get lost in the huge pile of letters they receive every week pointing out their errors.

Just an update:

BPA came through and arranged for the appeal to be heard. It was rejected as I understood it was always going to be, but was given my POPLA code and I have now appealed to them.

Now, I know even if it is refused I am not going to pay up unless I get a summons and from what I have read CP Plus have never gone this far (Correct me if wrong), but IF it is refused what is the advice regarding writing to whatever debt company they purport to use and tell them not to bother wasting both of our times by sending letters? Or should I just let them get on with it?

Thanks for all advice so far.

if you get any DC letters, put them in a file for 6 years , but ignore them

its only an LBC or MCOL you would have to worry about, if at all
