    I think that you should press for POPLA to consider your appeal. When they find in your favour it will be the perfect rebuttal for any debt collectors letters that are sent on behalf of ANPR."

    How would they do that??


    its not a little "ticket book" they have , they must request one from POPLa , how else would the parking cowboys website be able to give info they have , this is my way of reading it

    You are reading it wrong I'm afraid. The structure of a PoPLA code is well-known:

    http://parking-prankster.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/what-does-my-popla-code-mean.html

    Armed with this information it's very easy to invent a valid PoPLA code, which is what the PPCs do. PoPLA doesn't know that any given PoPLA code has been issued until it receives an appeal.

    Go to Parking Cowboys and try this one I just made up:

    2921205300

    You'll find it's valid, and so will PoPLA unless they've already received an appeal carrying that code.

    Ask them (in writing) to re-send it.

    You could even invent a letter from ANPR with a made up POPLA code!

    Haven't had one but dealt with one for someone, won at POPLA of course, their evidence pack to POPLA was like reading the VIZ!
