APCOA Luton Airport Car park Successful Apeal

Frade

Hello,

First of all, thank you all for your precious information's.

I'm a car park user, paying monthly for that. I work at Luton Airport. And pay almost 45£ a month.
I'm a foreigner, so please do forgive my poor English.
After getting 2 tickets from them (APCOA) for not showing clearly the car park permit (it drop from windscreen do the floor of the car), one day after the other... APCOA after my honest appeal (I thought it was easypeasy) decided that I had to pay the tickets. I told them on the first appeal, the truth, with the ice on the car etc, the paper just drop to the floor. They couldn't care less, and told me PAY. After that, I came across this tread, and luckily there was never an assumed driver of the car.

I made my appeal for POPLA following your "lessons", and was consider:

"As such, I must allow the appeal on the basis that the operator has failed to demonstrate that the appellant is the driver and therefore liable for the charge. As I am allowing the appeal on this basis, I do not need to consider the other grounds of appeal raised by the appellant. Accordingly, I must allow this appeal"

That's it guys. Thank you so much!!!

Well done. Please would you also put a copy of your post in the POPLA Decisions thread for others to see.

well done , never tell them the drivers details , as you found out

if they used an electronic list of vehicles with permits (called a "whitelist") they wouldnt have this problem, but then they could not try to sc@m people either
