    I have a 2000 word limit as I am appealing online so had to cut a bit out of the #3 post.
    You do if you copy and paste the appeal into the appeals dialogue box, but, if you convert your document to a .pdf file and attach it, you can send them 'War and Peace', and without limit. Post it under 'Other', just put a short sentence 'Please see attached appeal for POPLA Reference xxxxxxxxx', or words to that effect in the dialogue box. Simples!
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

  • I have changed the first paragraph as you suggested Guys Dad -

    "The Operator states that "DVLA delays prevented the NTK been produced within 14 days". However, evidence submitted by the operator clearly shows details were requested and responded to in 4 days by the DVLA. It was the operator's own fault the NTK was not sent out in time to conform to POFA 2012, as it took them 15 days from receiving my details as the keeper to send the NTK through the post. Also, these are mitigating circumstances, as stated on the POPLA website "POPLA is not able to allow an appeal for mitigating circumstances. In the event that the assessor finds a mitigating circumstance to be the reason for the parking charge being issued, the assessor can request the parking operator to consider this, but cannot enforce it." It would not be fair for POPLA to allow Operators mitigation whilst denying it to drivers."

    There is no option to attach a PDF, I think I have gone past that stage as I am now responding to the Operator's response so I'm capped at 2000 words

    Go for it. POPLA would be stupid not to allow an appeal from a keeper when POFA has not been met.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Any more details on why the appeal was successful - it will help us advise others who fall foul of this PPC.
