appeal

please read the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread at the top of this forum

use the blue text appeal template, and appeal as KEEPER

Also edit your post to remove information about who did what. Only refer to The Driver and The Keeper.
This is the normal starting point until you fully understand the scam. Mostly it is better to appeal as keeper, but in certain circumstances it is OK if the scammers know who was driving.
Most NEWBIES don't know the drill, so we advise posters to default to keeper only.

In your case it probably doesn't matter as long as the driver doesn't admit they left the site.

If the keeper appeals, the chances are they have no idea what the driver did, so they simply ask the scammers to prove their case, which they won't be able to do.
As advised above, appeal using the BPA template in blue from the NEWBIES thread. If/when they reject it, you make a second stage appeal to PoPLA where you will kill this if you follow our advice.

thank to you both for a quick response i looked on the thread and couldnt see the appeal template

There are only two initial appeal templates in the NEWBIES. The one you want is blue, and marked for BPA members.

Dear Sirs

Re: PCN No. ....................

I challenge this 'PCN' as keeper of the car.

I believe that your signs fail the test of 'large lettering' and prominence, as established in ParkingEye Ltd v Beavis. Your unremarkable and obscure signs were not seen by the driver, are in very small print and the terms are not readable to drivers.

There will be no admissions as to who was driving and no assumptions can be drawn. You must either rely on the POFA 2012 and offer me a POPLA code, or cancel the charge.

Should you obtain the registered keeper's data from the DVLA without reasonable cause, please take this as formal notice that I reserve the right to sue your company and the landowner/principal, for a sum not less than £250 for any Data Protection Act breach. Your aggressive business practice and unwarranted threat of court for the ordinary matter of a driver using my car without causing any obstruction nor offence, has caused significant distress to me.

I do not give you consent to process data relating to me or this vehicle. I deny liability for any sum at all and you must consider this letter a Section 10 Notice under the DPA. You are required to respond within 21 days. I have kept proof of submission of this appeal and look forward to your reply.

Yours faithfully,


THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE KEEPER GOES HERE. THE DRIVER IS NOT IDENTIFIED.

NO NEED TO USE YOUR REAL SIGNATURE - BUT DON'T POST UNLESS YOU HAVE TO - ALWAYS USE THE ONLINE APPEAL PAGE BECAUSE THE APPEAL CANNOT GET LOST AND YOU CAN KEEP A SCREEN PRINT. USE ANY EMAIL APPEAL OPTION IF FIRMS OFFER IT.


You can add to the template above, 'in order to resolve the dispute I attach copies of...': the driver's receipts/bank transactions (or Hospital Appointment/Hotel booking, etc.) that day as 'they' were a genuine customer/patient

Given it is the only blue appeal, yes. Notice how it tells you to put in your personal details....

so at the end of that appeal I put in my real name and my full address details ?I didn't buy anything from any of the shops in the retail park so I cannot add these to my appeal

123tylerjames

reading this appeal letter ,,the signage was clear in the retail car park........even thou when they took the pictures of my vehicle the penalty charge was up high on the drivers side ,but was then moved to under the wiper should I add this into my appeal letter also???

Quentin

Just send it in as advised


The idea is to ensure you get a POPLA code!
