  • I wonder why ,??

    do you have the code number , has it been verified as being issued ?

    and knowing this company , I am not surprised , how about explaining to the BPA and asking them to try and get you a replacement

    You are now in ignore mode. See post 4 in the Newbies thread.

    Complain to your MP. This practice is under scrutiny in Parliament.

    I suspect they will say tough luck but it's worth a try.

    See this to work out when it was issued http://parking-prankster.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/what-does-my-popla-code-mean.html?m=1
  • a couple vof the numbers show the date issued >day of year

    cribbed from a commercial site

    A three digit identifier for the parking company (e.g. 606 is ParkingEye)
    A three digit number which identifies the day of the year made (e.g. 001 is 1st January, 040 is 9th February etc)
    A single digit year identifier (e.g. 4 is 2014, 5 is 2015)
    A three digit identifier to identify the case for that parking company on that day (e.g. 001 is 1st, 100 is 100th)
    For example, a code 9993244213!!!8217; would be decoded to be:


    Parking company 999!!!8217;
    The code was generated on November 20th 2013
    The case was the 213th rejection for that operator on that day


    obviously do not post your full code
  • the stupid thing is that since change in POPLa supliers , they can hand codes out like confette , they can print them then light cigars with them

    its only when USED are they charged for them , and only if they reply to POPLa

    so they could easily used 20 a day for "backup" if bpa ask to see them

    The registered keeper needs to complain. Never hint at who might be driving.
