help parking ticket appeals gone bump

ampersand

podoman - back this evening.
Don't send that riposte yet.
Good start, but we can strengthen it.

Given that your POPLA no. is rebuffed[but earlier accepted?], it's worth a time-gaining 'complaint' em to:

[EMAIL="steve.c@britishparking.co.uk"]steve.c@britishparking.co.uk[/EMAIL]

[Steve Clark
Head of Operational Services
British Parking Association
Stuart House
41-43 Perrymount Road
Haywards Heath
West Sussex
RH16 3BN]

Include sth to the effect that you are placing your response on hold until a satisfactory re-set response re:POPLA clock is received via him.
No need to say more.

Back later.

Thanks ampersand

someone I spoke to reckons the reason the code does not work is because they have already held the appeal and made a decision, I just have to await their verdict.

Any chance this is the case?

Redx

yes, but as you have not heard send in the rebuttal by email before monday, preferably tonight

hoohoo

Post up their email please...or at least the gpeol...so we can rebut it. Probably easiest to take a photo and host on tinypic Dropbox etc

podoman

Thanks guys, unfortunately had to be away on a family emergency (electrocution) all ok now but no time to work up a rebuttal so have submitted my own prepared earlier.

will keep you posted, and once again thanks for support.

Hi

Just to let you all know that my appeal to POPLA was a success. The main reason given by the adjudicator Nozir Uddin was that CPS failed to produce a contract with the landowner allowing them to issue parking charge notices, I quote, "the Operator does not have the authority from the landowner to issue parking charge notices".

This was the only point given consideration and was sufficient.

Thanks to all for support and encouragement, and to those in the same hole, it can be done.

Well done!

It is sad that 2 years down the line operators continue to fail at POPLA but instead of changing their practices to become legal, they move instead to a kangaroo court. You would have lost this at the IAS because they would have required you to prove the operator had no contract. Quite how they expect you to do this is a mystery. A night-time raid on their head office, complete with balaclava and digital camera?

"to prove the operator had no contract"

But how can you prove a negative?

Indeed but the question should be properly directed at the IAS whose entire approach is Kafka-esque. That said, in such a situation a statement signed by the landowner to the effect that they have no contractual arrangement with the PPC might just do the trick. Snowball in hell I accept but that is the "reality" of IAS World.

All- i too have just been told this lot have ceased trading having taken on my case. Basically it was a PCN from VCS ltd for stopping momentarily outside John Lennon Airport Liverpool. PTAS lodged an appeal on my behalf though i don't have the detail of what they actually said on my behalf. I received an automated acknowledgement from VCS who said they would get back to me within the timeframe as long as i had provided all the correct info, which i can only presume was provided, PCN number, registered keeper and or driver details, serviceable address etc. They didn't get back to me within that timeframe but a couple of days before it was due to end i got a final reminder notice for the charge.

I'm told i should just ignore any further correspondence given that i have had an acknowledgement from them but then no actual response to the appeal????

Any advice greatly appreciated
