There's no way on God's earth that that is a disabled bay.

I'm sure POPLA will agree.

... and the symbol on the floor doesn't match the red and white symbol on the sign above the car, so how do you know which is or isn't a gimmick bay?

Contract law: if a term is misleading, the interpretation favors the consumer.
Plus, you could argue that the GIANT painted writing on the floor is more prominent than the tiny disabled sign on the ceiling.

But at POPLA stage do show us your draft. Needs to be clear & have the usual points.

For now, the first appeal is best slightly delayed as per the NEWBIES thread which explains why.

Appeal AS KEEPER at day 25 (or a few days earlier if you HAVE to post the appeal) and don't say 'me myself or I' when talking about the bay and the parking. Talk about the driver in the third person only.

Good Morning All,

They still refer this as being a disabled space which I cannot comprehend. But anyway, would anyone have an advice or shall I just follow the POPLA process as per newbie post?

Thanks


Their answer below:

Thank you for your email regarding the above Parking Charge Notice (PCN).

I have carefully reviewed the case and have considered the points that you raised. Unfortunately, I cannot cancel the PCN and it is still payable. I have explained my findings in more detail below.

My findings

The site in question is subject to terms and conditions, which are stated on signs throughout the area. As these terms were breached on the date in question, a PCN was correctly and legitimately issued. The terms and conditions were broken by parking on private land in a disabled badge without clearly displaying a valid disabled badge.

I attach photographic evidence taken at the time of the parking contravention.

I also attach an example of the signage present upon the site which details why a PCN will be issued. Such signage is visible in the attached photographs.

What you need to do now

You now have three options to choose from:

1) Pay the PCN at the prevailing sum of £60.00 by 04/04/2016. Please note that after this time the discounted rate will no longer apply and the amount outstanding will rise to £100.00 and will need to be paid by 18/04/2016. Payment can be made online or by phone. Go to website or phone 0208 528 4122. You can find full details of how to pay on the PCN issued to the vehicle and/or on the letter(s) sent if applicable.

2) Make an appeal to POPLA (Independent Appeals Service) by appealing online at website(verification code:

). The only grounds for making an appeal are stated on the website and to be considered the appeal must be received by POPLA within 28 days of the date of this correspondence. Please note that if you opt to appeal to POPLA and the appeal is unsuccessful you will be only able to settle the PCN at the full amount of £100.00.

3) If you choose to not make payment or appeal, the amount outstanding may be sought via a debt recovery company and/or court action where further costs may be incurred as a result.

More Information

By law we are also required to inform you that Ombudsman Services (website) provides an alternative dispute resolution service that would be competent to deal with your appeal. However, we have not chosen to participate in their alternative dispute resolution service. As such, should you wish to appeal then you must do so to POPLA, as explained above.

Do POPLA and show us your draft first.
