Received Parking fine from Indigo Park

pappa_golf

you may or may not know that POPLa are struggling to understand the word "bylaw" and applicable land , now instead of reading POFa2012 , they have decided to have a meeting to discuss it


this has been going on since the begining of September , see https://popla.co.uk/


"POPLA has decided to adjourn all cases on which the parking operator has asked the motorist to make a payment in respect of alleged breach of Byelaws. This is following complaints to POPLA and ISPA that POPLA has no authority to look at these appeals. We are considering our position and will make a further statement in due course. We do not anticipate the cases to be adjourned for more than two months from 1 September 2016. Parking operators should not pursue payment while the cases are adjourned. During this period, motorists must still submit their appeal within 28 days of the date of the POPLA code if they want POPLA to consider their appeal. If you have already submitted your appeal you do not need to take further action. "


cases submitted as recently as this week are being told yet another possible 2 wonth wait.


clearly mark your appeal so that an adjudicator sees this , and puts on hold

Thanks both! I didn't realise there was a POPLA deadline and I also didnt realise that byelaw appeals were put on hold for 6 weeks! Very helpful information.

You should find good POPLA appeal examples by searching this board for 'Indigo POPLA owner' but show us your version first, to be sure.

You can write as the driver because you've already given that away but you should make it clear that there was no breach of byelaw as there was provably no 'failure to pay'. And in any case, because the owner has never been identified, you as the individual being pursued, are not the liable party. You will see all that in a decent Indigo POPLA appeal so look at a few (not just one) & copy from them.

Hi everyone, just a quick update on this, I appealed through POPLA on 23rd November and they are still waiting for infornation from Indigo. However, I receieved an "Overdue Penalty Notice to Owner" letter yesterday stating that I breached byelaws and because the penalty has not been paid, I now have to pay £124.00. Are they allowed to send me this despite the fact I have an open appeal with POPLA?

Thanks!
