So I've finally recieved my POPLA number but it has passed the 28 days in the the letter as my post is getting redirected. What do I do? Carry on with my appeal to POPLA and what do I say?

some information on this firm

• 
  UKPC are former clampers who have been involved in quite a number of sordid scams, for example
  
  Hull Trading Standards took them to court on 15 counts of fraud. UKPC won all but one, but only because they had a better lawyer, a Q.C. If I recall correctly

  They were bested by a Winchester barrister

  They were involved in a large scale scam which resulted in a DVLA suspension

Appeal to PoPLA anyway and add this.

The UK Government Alternative Dispute Regulations 2015 state that ADR (appeals) must be allowed for not less than one year.

Regs found here, the bit that allows them to refuse to look at it in that timeframe (not their made up parking company funded rules) is item 64.

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/288199/bis-14-575-implementing-alternative-dispute-resolution-directive-and-online-dispute-resolution-regulation-consultation.pdf

Procedural rules for refusing disputes 64.

Article 5(4) of the ADR Directive has a list of procedural rules which Member States can choose to permit certified ADR providers to apply. These procedural rules would allow certified ADR providers to refuse to deal with inappropriate disputes. The grounds for refusing to deal with disputes which can be applied are as follows:
- the consumer has made no attempt, in the first instance, to resolve the complaint directly with the business;
- the complaint is frivolous or vexatious;
- the dispute is being or has been considered by another certified ADR provider or a court;
- the value of the claim falls below or above a pre-specified limit (any monetary thresholds must not significantly impair access to ADR);
- the complaint is not submitted within a pre-specified time limit (which cannot be set at less than a year from when the complaint was first submitted to the business); and
- dealing with that type of dispute “would otherwise seriously impair the effective operation of the ADR entity”.


Since none of the above apply, you require PoPLA to accept your appeal as it is The Will of Parliament.

If they refuse it, you will need to contact your MP and Mrs May (which you should be doing anyway about this unregulated scam industry) complaining that you are being denied the appeals process that is mandated by the UK Gov ADR regulations.
