POPLA Appeal Fail

Firebrand

(Apologies if this is not the right place to post this - and please direct me to the correct place if that's the case)

Summary: During this summer's hot weather my parking permit fell off my windscreen, and I didnt notice (because I do not check my car every 5 minutes), and received a ticket from Secure a Space. I subsequently appealed to POPLA as it seems to me blatantly unfair that I should be charged £85 for parking in a sunny space. The permit had fallen into the footwell but (IMO) could easily be seen by a warden. They took pictures of every angle ofteh car except the footwell, naturally. Of course, my appeal failed.
Whats my next step please?
Thanks in anticipation

Permit for a residential car park (your home/own space?). Your workplace? Or where?

You won't be paying this but need to come back if they try a (defendable) small claim within 6 years. Nasty long-term harassment, isn't it - but that is NOT a reason to just pay 'for an easy life' (can't stand it when posters say that and can't see that they are funding the scam...!).
