These Trade Associations set out in their codes of practice that the maximum level of penalty should be no more than £100. The Trade Associations also suggest their members offer a reduced rate of at least 40 per cent if payment is made within 14 days of the issue of the charge notice.

Nice of your MP to confirm that they are penalties!

Looks suspiciously like a template response available from a bank for MPs - I've seen one very similar before, no doubt drafted by Trouser Fire.

I'd be returning a few words of his back like 'As I am sure you will appreciate' you will be relying on my vote in the not too distant future. You should not be over optimistic about my support given your refusal to support me via your reply.

This was my MP's reply

He obviously hasn't bothered his a***e to have a look at this forum or pepipoo even though I steered him towards them. He makes it sound easy to appeal or defend when we know that it is not

Maybe re-send him a full blown Popla appeal from on here, to show him how much work and knowledge has to go into preparing one. Then ask him if he realises that it isn't just a matter of explaining the facts with a bit of mitigation thrown in !

You could always open your letter by saying:

"As I am sure you will appreciate, following the Government's intervention through the enactment of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, parking on private land is no longer simply a private contractual arrangement between the car park owner and the motorist. Many vehicles' keepers and hirers now find themselves being held liable by private parking companies for alleged breaches of contract to which they weren't even party".

@mowkid

Your MP is living behind the times and in cloud 9. He really is out of touch

"Government cannot usually intervene."

Is he saying the government allows this scam ??
He is saying that DVLA providing data is not intervening ?

"Accredited Trade Association (ATA). The ATA carries out checks on companies before allowing them to join and monitors ongoing compliance with their code of practice"


What a lot of rubbish ..... Dare we use Gladstones/IPC/IAS as a prime example?
WHERE IS THE ATA THEN

"The Government recently published a discussion paper about parking on private land. The conduct of private parking companies, including the level of charges demanded, was raised in a significant number of responses. The Government’s proposed course of action will be released in due course."

We all know that, the proposed course of action is well overdue pointing again to the fact that this government allows this scam

"Consumer protection regulations have also been amended to make it simpler and clearer for consumers to bring their own actions to seek compensation when they have been the victims of misleading or aggressive debt collection practices. The new rights apply to all types of civil debt collection, including parking on private land."

Planet Earth calling this outdated MP ..... the government should be protecting consumers against scammers. He should be invited to try this one out himself with the vermin

If this was me I would be telling the MP that his lack of interest and attempting to fob off means one thing .... NO VOTE FOR YOU.

I do hope that Mrs May weedles out these MP's who show no interest ..... this does her party no good whatsoever.

I would also send a copy of his letter to Mrs May with your comments. If she is not told, she will never know and you are probably not the only one being fobbed off by this MP

Thanks for you agreement everyone. Being a bit of a PC dummy if i could find a POPLA appeal form I would send to my MP

This guy's interested in anyone who has had a surprise CCJ, particularly if its from a hospital or council car park. If you're helping anyone, would you mind passing on his details ? paul.bentley@dailymail.co.uk

They will do nothing, I bet most have invested in shares with these firms.
Why work for a living when you can cheat and steal other peoples money.

I must admit that the Daily Mail comes in with a tsunami and then ends up like a f*rt in the court of Judge Rinder.

It will be all brushed under the carpet, none off the MPs give two hoots.
