POPLA Appeal Refused. Worth taking further?

nosferatu1001

How did they "threaten"/?

Did they say we WILL take you to court in X days if you dont pay?
Or did they say we MIGHT think about possibly considering, in the fullness of time, giving court a go?

The former needs a response, the latter is yawn inducing.

Hi, it was Brixham Marina Car Park

They said "If we do not receive payment by this date, we will seek to recover the monies owed to us via our Debt Recovery Service and may then instruct our Solicitor to commence court proceeding against you and additional costs may be incurred. The decision of the independent adjudicator will form part of our case in these proceedings.

Please note that if you are liable for this charge and the court orders you to pay the parking charge, a county court judgement against you could seriously affect your ability to obtain credit in future"

As nosferatu1001 said - yawn inducing.

You know already to ignore that rubbish, it's all been said already.

PP are not prolific with claims:

... and this circumstance is one worth throwing into the DJ court lottery, should they try. The Beavis case can be fully distinguished in a defence, and in many ways it doesn't support/excuse their penalty.

Think about it, if you'd not bothered to try POPLA, and instead ignored it, you would not be thinking about paying now. So don't. The only *risk* is losing at a hearing and being told to pay about £175, instead of £100. Not a huge risk and no CCJ even if the case was lost.

And we win 99% of the time in small claims, when posters stick around and get assistance from defence right through to including WS and evidence, and at hearing stage.

We feel the same as you, and it's why we regulars come back here for free, in our own time every day.

Please also complain to your MP, now is the time to support the Bill going through Parliament:

What did your MP say about the scam? Or Kevin Foster MP at Torbay, who started this discussion:

He named and shamed Premier Park, and should hear about your distress, to add weight to the Bill going through Parliament.
