You appear to be totally unaware of the crucial differences in the law between England and Scotland.

It is worth noting that there are only 2 comments under that BPA drivel. David Carrod is one of the leading campaigners, appeal writers and County Court defenders in the private parking arena and he strongly advises PPC "victims" in England and Wales to use PoPLA when it is available.

The other commenter is me.

The reason why, in our comments, David and I gave categorical advice to IGNORE is, quite simply, that the law is different in Scotland (and there's no PoPLA in Scotland anyway). Our advice for anyone with a fake fine in England/Wales would be quite different.

You also seem to be unaware that, by PoPLA's own figures, approximately 50% of appeals are successful. That's a pretty high proportion considering that many appellants are clueless about how to do it and will be submitting appeals full of useless points of mitigation. Where appeals are based on sound points of law, as advised here and written by PPA, the success rate is more like 99.99%.

Spending half-an-hour cutting, pasting and tailoring a PoPLA appeal is a darned sight easier than defending a court claim.

Just to point out that I am fully aware of the difference between English and Scottish law.

I am not sure why you think it is good that POPLA only allows 50% of appeals ?? that is poor within an industry known to be terrible.

My previous post was simply to let others know

VAT, DOES YOUR PARKING TICKET show the VAT content ??

Look at your notice to see if there is a VAT number which means the PPC must invoice you showing the VAT content. It does not matter if you can claim the VAT back or not. If they are registered for VAT, they MUST tell you the VAT content.

It seems PPC's have a problem.so is the argument they use at POPLA
is PPCs are increasingly saying that the payment is a contract term (and not a penalty for breach)
They have to say this, as any charge for breach of contract exceeds the actual losses, is a penalty, and thus unlawful. So, we are back to contracural payment, which must be subject to VAT.
Unfortunately, POPLA don't seem to understand the difference, and say it's both breach and contract terms at the same time THEY ARE NOT and it's no wonder POPLA only agree to a meager 50% of appeals. If you get a parking ticket from a PCC, REQUEST a full breakdown and VAT content. If they refuse, it's simple, advise Customs and Excise you have requested the same and have been denied your rights.

You are not obligated to pay a parking ticket from a PPC WITHOUT a breakdown and VAT content.

One would hope that my critics on here will agree but its doubtful
