G24 b&m - what next?

Hi, I'm sure this has been answered numerous times but I've read many threads and get a little lost following each thread, so ask for some personalised help if possible.

I received a contractual parking notice charge from G24 for out staying my welcome by 15 mins in a B&M car park in hillsborough. I have sent G24 the following using their online appeal form as suggested:


Dear G24,

This is an appeal against the charge issued to the vehicle with the registration XXXXXX, charge reference XXXX.

It is the registered keepers assertion that :

1. The charge is not a genuine pre-estimate of loss.
2. The signage does not conform to the BPA CoP to which G24 has committed.
3. G24 has no authority to issue charges over the land in question.

As such the charge is rejected. You should now either cancel said charge or provide a POPLA code for the registered keeper to appeal to the independent adjudicator.

Any further correspondence other than confirmation of cancellation or a POPLA code will be considered harassment and could result in legal action being taken against you.

Yours,


They have now replied to reject my 3 arguments, have offered me the chance to appeal to ias.org or provide a receipt of purchase and they MAY reconsider.

What should my next move be?

    IMO you ignore them. Never done court and wouldn't know how to because their owner, Adrian King, is too stupid to even write his own name.

  • Thank you, so no repercussions possible, just ignore and it will go away?

    Like the point re Mr King, but to be fair to him, his surname is 4 letters long

    G24 are in the IPC, so BPA's COP and POPLA wouldn't apply anyway.
  • So what does that mean for me, apologies for my naïvety on this

    It means just ignore them as the IPC / IAS are a bunch of crooks.

    I'd send a letter saying that you've asked the driver for a till reciept and he/she (use the opposite gender to yourself) has thrown it away.

    normally we would suggest to get the retailer to sort this ....

    but unless any one say's differently B&M are not interested .... Hint .... do not shop there any more ...

    The IPC have the worst appeals service in the know galaxy ....... the chances of winning are small.

    Opinion is a bit divided on how to deal with them ..... my suggestion is to do the appeals , for several reasons

    one being if IF it gets to court then you will be shown as being reasonable

    a second is it builds up the case against them .... come judgment day!


    however you must decide ..... the forum view is to now go into ignore mode .... except for a LBA or court letters ...:-(
