Are you suggesting 3 people out of 99,600 were the only ones to have appeals rejected????

This could soon get onto a third page of people saying just cut and paste as is.

NO........ i’m not suggesting that........ but to say that you’ve got almost no chance of going to court based upon tickets issued vs court hearings is incorrect in my view. I would imagine a massive % pay without appealing. So without “havin a larf” a more representative stat would be derived from appeal numbers or failed appeal numbers and not issued tickets !!....... the latter is probably a very low % also..... but hopefully you get my point.

Do you know........ I posted this thread because I know little about this subject and I genuinely needed some advice.......... I have received some advice and for that I am genuinely grateful ..... however...... what a prickly bunch some of you are !!!

When all you have to do is cut and paste and we are approaching a third page it does start to get frustrating.

Maybe a “sticky” to that effect........ along with a simple explanation for those less informed.... would see a reduction if not an end to any frustration ! The alternative is a mass of info that prompts many questions and god forbid a page count > 2

Again....... many thanks for all help offered..... much appreciated

they issued 99653 tickets in 2017 of which only 3 ended up in court.

No, the 3 court hearings may have had nothing to do with a PCN. Might have been them suing a supplier. Certainly they are absolutely NOT a firm I would for one minute be alarmed by!

I have ignored Britannia, and I've beaten them at POPLA, and at first appeal, for various friends and acquaintances.

Use the appeal 'as is'. We know what we are doing. Hundreds of times a year we see this played out.

Thanks a bunch for your comment....... very reassuring and appreciated. I will do as you advise.

However, there is no reason why you should let them get away with this, complain to your MP. Parliament is firmly on your side, watch this

Hi.... just wanted to close off this thread with the conclusion of my appeals.

In summary, I received 3 PCN's for parking without a ticket. I appealed on the basis that their signs were not illuminated and the car park is unlit during the hours of darkness. I appealed to Britannia with the standard template made available on these forums. Britannia rejected my appeal and provided me with 3 x POPLA codes.

I then wrote my appeal in my own words and provided photographic evidence to support my appeal. This was sent to POPLA who communicated with Britannia.

All 3 of my appeals have won as I have been informed by POPLA that Britannia do not wish to contest any of my appeals.

The following link will take you to a copy of my appeal (personal info removed)...... I hope it helps anyone needing to appeal. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9wccq5zonz4whcp/redacted.pdf?dl=0

Genuine thanks to all who offered helpful advice in this thread..... and to those who didn't...... "what goes around....usually comes around"

That's a very good appeal all about unlit signs and you made your case clearly. A refreshing change!

Please can you post about this, with your link to your appeal, in POPLA DECISIONS so more people see it, as this thread will soon drop down into obscurity but the sticky threads stay at the top.

:T
