Civil Enforcement Ltd leisure centre POPLA appeal

Now it's with POPLA you ignore it (probably crossed in the post?). If they continue to write to you (or pass to debt collectors) while your appeal is still with POPLA, then it's complaint time to the BPA and DVLA.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum.

There you go. It's what we come here daily to do - stop the general public being unfairly fleeced via smoke, mirrors, threats, harassment and intimidation.
Lesson to learn from this brush is to carefully look out for any parking sign in any car park, read it thoroughly and comply with its requirements. That way the PPC has no reason to try to charge you anything. In the process you help cut off their blood supply at source - and they die.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum.

I concede this one. :rotfl::rotfl:.
Maybe we need a list of PPCs that fold whenever they get a kitchen sink appeal?
I still believe that targeted appeal points when the motorist has a real hook to hang their appeal on work better, but am more than happy to admit when a War and Peace length appeal is successful. :beer:0 -

We work as a strong team, here and off-forum, and can't always agree on it all.
I would say CEL and Britannia and Smart, all fold to a long appeal, and ParkingEye often does.
I concede as well that shorter POPLA appeals can work where there is a slam-dunk winning point like 'no NTK served' (strictly as a one-off). But the trouble is on a forum, if people see that is the norm, or search and find a short version too often, they'll copy that style - and lose.
Copying the longer style gives newbies the safety net they might need if their case is not ''easy''. And I must admit I've always enjoyed the fact long appeal make PPCs have to waste man-hours on it, knowing as we do, that even if the poster loses we'll STILL tell them not to pay!
I love the idea that a long POPLA appeal and the '26 day appeal tactic' p133es off the PPCs; that's got to be a reason in itself to do it!PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Definitely lesson learnt on this one! I'm usually so careful with parking etc and make sure I pay for a ticket but will read all signs with care from now on! Thanks again :beer:0
