APCOA - Slough - Debt recovery no appeal letter

akz786

Hi
For one of my alleged PCNs from APCOA of being parked over two bays. I sent the blue template letter back on 2nd January to my surprise I received a letter from Debt Recovery Ltd with the usual demand.
Do I write back to APCOA demanding my POPLA code, and Ignore Debt Recovery? or the other way around?

Thanks

I too have received a letter from DRP, asking for £150, although I appealed to Apcoa, (no acknowledgement), on 24th January. I have complained to the BPA about code breaches, but doubt if anything will come of it.

However it gives the pot a stir, and costs them money.

Do as highlighted. APCOA will probably produce a rejection letter & POPLA code they reckon was sent in January...in which case you then ignore the idiots.

its happening with all the PPCs on bylaw land

a posting on pepipoo

"Have had a lot to do with indigo recently

They are using the zzps back office facility

Majority of appeals are ignored outright. So far we have sent an estimate
Of at least 100 challenged one popla code has popped out just one rejected soft appeal. When questioned where he other popla codes were informed that was sent out in error

Indigo ante not conforming with bpa code of practice nationwide. Ntk issued by zzps bumped up fees from what it states on signage"


and the reason , £27 up the swannie by giving a code

POPLA and appeal process for Railway Land
There is a meeting on 27th January 2017 to discuss this issues. John Gallagher decided to
make a decision on the outstanding cases as they could not stay adjourned, he concluded
that he would allow them all. He has invited the Operators to withdraw them and will allow
the rest. He is meeting with with the DVLA, DCLG and the Railway Operators on the 27
January 2017 to agree the process including the appeals.
If you park in a railway car park it will be a criminal case and they will allow clamping, which
does not seem good practice.
One possibility is the DVLA to say that operators can continue to use POPLA but this means all
appeals will be dismissed. Currently they are bound by the decision where the appellant is
not. The alternative will be to take POPLA out of the equation and then it is pursued through
the criminal system

Of course, if a rejection letter was dated January! You can't appeal to POPLA after 30-odd days has passed, like here:

Like ECP, APCOA do not sue. IGNORE unless they give you a February/March POPLA code.

No, no, no, no, no. Always appeal, it costs them money.
