I am just about at the end of my tether with this Business
I am one of the unfortunate appellants who have an appeal apparently sitting in the BPA somewhere.
After some prodding of the AOS, yesterday I received an email, dated 5th Oct, purporting to come from a M TEMBO part of the POPLA administration team.
The gist of this email is that my appeal is dependant upon the outcome of the Beavis case and 'someone' will contact me after the Supremes court decision.
I replied to this email and got back an auto response saying the email address is no longer valid.
My first thought is that the BPA are sending emails under the guise of the old POPLA which is a bit naughty.
The second thought is that my appeal will not be heard by an independent assessor but will be just determined on GPEOL, which was just a last ditch add on to my appeal (As advised on this site).
As my case is based on Blue Badge issues I want someone to make a judgement on this basis, as I wish to pursue this further with the PPC and the Landowner.
My only course of action seems to be to cancel the appeal and make the PPC take me to court.
What is the requirement of the BPA to ensure there is an independent assessment and not just a wave through one way or the other after the Beavis result.
I have just about had enough of being manipulated by a bunch of scroats and feel it is time to get a bit more proactive.

there have been a few spurious emails flying around , mainly mis sent , as you and I know , the BPA and popla are in dis agreement about money (owed to popla) , the new POPLa don't want to take on any of the extra work as they will not get paid for it
so its a stalemate , we knew this was going to happen , mths and mths ago , although admittedly not the money not paid angle
best of luck , get some T shirts printed now!0 -
Hi Freddie. Would like to know what London Councils would say about the BPA using their headed paper and the POPLA logo0

the company (as such) ceases to exist now dunnit?
if its anything like the BPA , they will give them 6 mths to sort out the "signage and logo,s"0 -

So even if Beavis loses, that won't automatically mean you lose your POPLA appeal, you still have the chance to flag up the other issues.
And then, even if the POPLA result goes against you, it's not binding on the motorist, so the PPC would still need to issue a claim and win in court before you could be forced to pay.
I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.0 -
But who is adjudicating?Bournemouth - home of the Mighty Cherries0

Barrista's from the IPC have tendered a quote:j0

I nominate the Prankster.
4000 at £10 a go, not bad. Don't know if it will ever get paid though. Still could send in the Sheriffs.0 -

For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com0 -
I should probably tender of the following basis.
The cases will all be dealt with by an anonymous bunch of friends whose names I will not divulge. Cases will be handed out on a suitability basis, so for instance if one of the claims concerns equality, then if one of my assessors happens to be Coupon Mad she will of course get all those ones. Any cases with spelling or grammar mistakes will be heard by Bargepole.
To prevent bias, cases will be reheard from scratch. Operators will present their claim and the motorist will then present their evidence and reasons why the claim should not be allowed. The operator will not be allowed to see or comment on the motorist's case until after the claim.
Where there is a conflict the motorists evidence will be automatically believed and preferred.
In line with the Consumer rights Act 2015, regulation 72 (duty of a court to consider fairness of terms) if the motorist has not raised an issue of fairness which the assessor considers a judge would have raised, they would be duty bound to consider that.
I believe this is the kind of process which is considered fair by ADR Entities so I don't see any problem with the above.
Costs charged to the BPA would be £0 if the operator wins and £60 if they lose, of which £30 would be retained by the service and £30 forwarded to the motorist to compensate them for the inconvenience of being issued a false charge.Hi, we’ve approved your signature.
