the annoying thing is , its only been cancelled with external assistance
this thing should have been cancelled when you appealed!!!!

Well done Stacey.
Newquay is a fab place with fab people.
When someone posted a pic on FB of SMART's camera that had blown down in the recent storms down here, the pic recieved over 600 "likes" within 3 hours.
If you're down here agsin, let me know A few of us want to buy you a drink, and maybe get you back on the sand ☺Illegitimi non carborundum:)0 -
You will be getting something in writing soon telling you the charge has been cancelled.
The least Smart Parking could do is send chocolates and some flowers. Better would be to pay for a nice break for Stacey and John. But I suspect the letter will be a 'gesture of goodwill' claptrap, issued through gritted teeth. Let's see.
Smart Parking - if you're reading this, do something nice to apologise for all the hurt, upset and anguish you have caused to someone who has more than enough crosses to bear in life. Show us if you have any modicum of compassion! We're waiting ...............Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

Stacey, hope you're having a well earnt rest from Parking.
There is a lady from the press who is interested in running your story.
She is lovely, and I spoke to her after my wife wrnt through a simillar situation at Fistral somevyears ago.
If you check your "private messages" button above, she has sent her details.
I have suggested that she contacts you through this forum.
When she printed our story last time, it went national, and ended up with the previous parking company getting booted out.
The choice to talk to her is yours though. You may have been through enough for one week !Illegitimi non carborundum:)0 -

I am so glad the Prankster has got this cancelled! We look forward to seeing a news story which doesn't praise Smart Parking for cancelling it - they needed to do that immediately at appeal stage and their refusal to cancel it earlier was discriminatory.
With all the work you had done towards the POPLA appeal, we would have tweaked it a bit and we'd have won at POPLA I'm sure. Your efforts towards this POPLA appeal, after just a few bullet points to start you in the right direction, were far better and stronger than many other newbies who come here. And far better than some template POPLA appeals peddled about, using old arguments and not moving to meet POPLA head on like we do here when newbies make an effort like you did.
Hope you go to the beach soon. If ever you come to Brighton, mention it to me on this forum and I will show you the best bits and the places to park without scammers getting at you!

I have been assured this is cancelled and therefore Smart should contact you to confirm this. However if you do not receive this by the POPLA cut off date I would still recommend filing your appeal. Lets wait a couple of weeks first though. You have 28 days from the date of the appeal dismissal to file your appeal.Hi, we’ve approved your signature. It's awesome.

Stacey, having followed this horror story, I am so pleased you are the victor and you can now rest easy.
You certainly should do the story which hopefully will go to the main media so any company who uses parking companies will avoid Smart as being very dangerous for their business
Yes you deserve a full apology from Smart at the very least, be interesting to see.
Smart have always had a bad attitude problem akin to school bullies, that's from the Directors downwards.
Maybe that is why Asda sacked them
Well done0
