    To upload a photo/scan, you first need to host it on a free photo hosting site (Photobucket or Tinypic), copy the URL, paste it here, but change the http to hxxp (or remove it all together) and we'll do the conversion. Newbies can't directly upload links to photos/scans until they've got a few posts under their belt.

  • Have PE not provided in the evidence pack a copy of any contract with the landowner or any signed witness statement from the landowner declaring that PE has their authority to operate?

    If not, don't forget to highlight this in your rebuttal; this point alone will be enough for you to win :)

    The info from PE has arrived (a week late). I plan to phone Popla tomorrow and request an additional week. The pack contains copies of all the correspondence so far between myself and PE. There are also seven photos of parking signs (the small print cannot be read with a magnifying glass. The arguments against me are on two sides of an A4 page.Is there a way to scan these here?
    Please don't phone them, just email and tell them it's just arrived and you wish to add a rebuttal within seven days and so just TELL POPLA that they'll be receiving another email from you by Friday 22nd. So please can they put the case on hold (they will).

    Would it help if I also scan and post the appeal I finally sent in too?

    hxxp://s1039.photobucket.com/user/FREYASMUM60/library/File%20from%20PE is the code for the file of info just 2 sides of A4.
    and
    hxxp://s1039.photobucket.com/user/FREYASMUM60/library/The%20appeal should link to the 11 pages of my filed appeal from December. Change the xx's back to tt
    POPLA have extended my date to 29th Jan.
    I've been up on road trip to see the car park, armed with camera. Not all signs where they are alleged to be. The entrance is poorly signed. There is no sign visible from where the car was parked. The sign closest to the car had such small print, it could not be read. I photographed all, but is it useful?
    The pack does not contain any contract, merely a statement that they have a contract. There is no signed witness statement concerning a contract. I hope some of this is useful.

    I think I've set up the photobucket so that other people can read those files (I hope not edit them). I think you need to go to photobucket and paste the Http address in. But this is all new to me and I may be doing it incorrectly.

    Here is my first stab at a rebuttal- unable to get this hosted on imageshack so now on tiny. Is this the sort of thing I need to be writing? And is it OK to include my photos which challenge the stock from PE?

    Too small to read, showing as a thumbnail for me:

    Can you make it so we can zoom in and read it, or just copy & paste it into a reply here would be easier if it's all text.
