Help with POPLA appeal

Kelrus

Please I need some advice, I have never appealed to POPLA before.
Parking ticket from parking eye though the post 5 months after alleged offence, appealed as registered keeper on the grounds of breech of POFA 2012 schedule 4, which was rejected. I know there are plenty of threads on here and I have read many but my questions are:
1) if I appeal to popla what are my chances of winning the appeal based on the pofa 2012 point?
2) is there any other points I can use to help my case?
3) are there any templates I can follow that match a similar case as mine?

I know these questions have probably been answered many of times! But any help would be appreciated!
All new to me...even these forums!
Thanks

1) Pretty much certain
2) Usual standing, signage, amount not being a core price term but lead with no complaince
3) Have you checked the newbies thread?

Kelrus

Thankyou, what did you mean when you say lead with no compliance?
I have read the newbies thread, there was so much information I didn’t know if any was related to my case, but I will read again, thanks

read post #3 of the NEWBIES sticky thread regarding POPLA appeals

it applies to ALL CASES , including yours

ALL means ALL

so draft a popla appeal and post it on here for critique

How is it possible that it's pretty much certain to succeed on the basis of this breach. I hope you are correct, but surely by now Parking Eye know how to do this correctly? I hope not, but I have to ask.

PE seem to have taken their eye of the ball in the last few months yet still send out non-POFA2012 ntk letters, hoping to blag extra cash

so although they do know how to do it , recently they have failed miserably yet still try it on

Hi Redx,


Sorry to harp on this, but I'm trying to learn from all this stuff and apply it my own sorry situation.


So to clarify: the breech of POFA 2012 is when the PCN paper does not have a paragraph about keeper liability after 29 days? Or if it didn't arrive within 14 days of the car being parked.


My car was parked on 16th Oct. PCN arrived on Nov 1st. I thought they had 14 working days. Is it working days or 14 DAYS?


Thanks

It’s 14 actual days (including weekends) starting on the day following the day of the parking contravention. And it has to arrive in that timescale, not just be dated or posted within that timescale - arrive within it!

PE seem to have had a glitch with data in early Summer, and usually didn't send out PCNs at all in lots of cases, till October. I've seen one, a colleague got one about a nonsense charge dated May, but the PCN arrived in October.

A keeper can't lose the POPLA appeal - simply because the keeper cannot be held liable.

That is, IF you have a Golden Ticket. But you are not the OP of this thread, and your dates are not certain to show a non-POFA PCN (not to the extent that POPLA need it proved).

Does your PCN have the POFA wording on the back? If so, it is NOT a non-POFA PCN.

Kelrus is the thread starter here and Kelrus has a Golden Ticket and cannot lose, unless they blab about the driver!

Hi & thanks,
the date on the PCN is 21st Oct. ie car was parked on 16th Oct. P.E. PCN dated 21st Oct. Arrived Nov 1st. But I guess they will say it was posted well within this 14 days time. It wasn't recorded so how do I make this case? The post is sometimes really slow. I know that.
