Ethical parking management POPLA appeal rejected

Captainfox

Hello
So yesterday I became one of the increasing unfortunate few who have had their POPLA appeal rejected since the Supreme Court case. GPEOL, signage and right to manage the site.

At the bottom of the letter it says I must be allowed 28 days to pay, however I have today received a letter threatening further action and debt recovery after 14 days by 'ethical' parking management.

Firstly how likely are they to take this to court and do I have any leg to stand on reference the 14 day threat when POPLA have stated I must have 28 days to pay?

Essentially the ticket was issued for parking in a bay without a permit in an empty car park where there was no way to purchase a ticket.

There were emergency reasons as to why the car was parked there but I have not attempted to use mitigating circs after reading the advice on here and I have not identified the driver.

I'm pretty clueless to the process now having never been threatened with debt recovery and the potential for court (nature of the job I'm supposed to be a pillar of society ) I have previously challenged genuine council tickets but only so far as either being upheld or dismissed and paying them as they more often than not are geuine and not extortionate fines like these!

There is a lot of reading on here but I'm pretty confused now as to what happens next and if I should grin and bare the £100 fine or wait for a court summons??

Your help is greatly appreciated!

The rest of your questions are superfluous.

you wont get a "summons" from any court as this is a civil matter , not a criminal matter

anything from a court would be an MCOL under the small claims , from Northampton bulk centre normally (or Salford for manual claims)

only a judge can determine if you "have a leg to stand on" when all the evidence is presented , so nobody here can tell you what chances you have of winning , as Beavis found out to his cost in 3 lost court cases

what happens next is either you pay it , or you get debt collector letters threatening court and armageddon and they will take your kids and other nasties

the PPC has 6 years to try a court case under MCOL

if you lost and fauil to pay the judgment promptly , a CCJ would follow and your credit rating would plummet

if you paid promptly , its the end of the matter

if you won , you pay nothing and claim about £90 or more in expenses

I think this needs a sarcasm smiley ... I get the impression the OP may think you're being serious.
