Complain to your MP and in writing to your local Trading Standards Officer, (not CAB), and watch this.

The PPC cannot clamp you.
The PPC cannot take you to court for an alleged breach of byelaws.

The landowner (possibly Network Rail) or the Train Operating Company could take the vehicle owner to court, but they don't know who that is, and the PPC can't tell them even if they did know.

You are entitled to access to Alternative Dispute Resolution. This is your right, so next time the PPC contact you, you tell them this and demand they provide you with access to ADR.

If they refuse, complain to the BPA. Use these exact words from last Friday's parliamentary debate,"the British Parking Association are about as much use as a multi-storey car park in the Gobi desert". Ask what they (the BPA) are going to do to demonstrate to the UK Government and the general public that they are going to curb the excesses of rogue parking that form their membership.

Use the MPs words in any and every contact you have with the DVLA, your MP, the landowner, and anyone else you care to contact.

These are some of the comments made by the MPs concerning the unregulated parking industry.

Cowboy companies, signage deliberately confusing to ensure a PCN is issued, rogue parking companies, bloodsuckers, absolute disgrace, rogue operators, unfair charges and notices, wilfully misleading, signage is a deliberate act to deceive or mislead, unreasonable, designed to trap innocent drivers, a curse, harassing, operating in a disgusting way, appeals service is no guarantee of a fair hearing, loathed, outrageous scam, dodgy practice, outrageous abuse, unscrupulous practices, the BPA is as much use as a multi-storey car park in the Gobi desert.

Good idea, ill get on to this tonight, will keep all updated, ive actually got 3/4 coming as the parker normally pays monthly but as they changed the days they go in to the office they didnt pay monthly and forgot to make payment i assume, so i will still follow normal process for the rest.

Yep, you!!!8217;re getting over 6 month time line for all

If they!!!8217;re sending out the old NtK,promising popla, I would demand popla every time. It!!!8217;s their offer you!!!8217;ve taken it up. Otherwise suggest the ombudsmen service and state this is required under the adr regs 2015

When i asked them for a POPLA code this was their reply lol

Good afternoon,

Due to a decision by the BPA, POPLA are no longer able to take appeals for Penalty Notices issued under Railway Byelaw 14.

Therefore, we are unable to issue you a POPLA code.

Kind regards,
Leo Feather

how long shall i give it till i reply? shall i refer to the original letter they sent offering a POPLA code?

pappa_golf

why bother replying , nothing you say or do will matter

start the ping pong after the next letter , ping pong is with indigo , not debt collectors

waamo

Forget the POPLA code you are not going to get one. Keep that letter though.

As has been pointed out they have 6 months to take you to court. Debt collectors letters though can carry on for years despite the fact they know they are talking hot air.

The fact they have offered POPLA as an alternative to prosecution would be grounds to claim an abuse of process should it ever come to court.

Give it a week or two, remind them of their offer of a PoPLA code and demand an explanation as to why they are now reneging on that written and binding offer.
Tell them that access to ADR is your right, and demand they provide access to the same.

Complain to the BPA and your MP each and every time you get a refusal, mention their offer (which has now proved to be a lie) and quote each time my comments above about the BPA, the Gobi desert, and what they plan to do about this rogue member.
