    You rubbish the scammers own signs to prove that "their" signage is inaccurate and can't form a contract. That's one appeal point.

    You use other evidence to prove the car was not in the car park at all. That's a separate appeal point.

    Not the landowner, is another point, as is, no standing to issue charges in their own name, as is non-POFA compliant NTK.

    Us EVERY point that is relevant.

    KeithP - thanks, I'll make those changes.

    Regarding using examples of the signs from the car park - the problem I've got is I don't know whether to use the signs from the car park the vehicle was parked in, or the signs from the car park CEL claim the vehicle was parked in, as they're completely different. Or perhaps use both? Or it doesn't matter which is used?
    I would say you use the signs in the car park you parked in.

    Even better if they identify the car park, and therefore show PoPLA that the PPC have screwed up again.

    Obviously don't say 'the car park I parked in'! Unless you already blabbed?

    CEL are easy to beat; how come they didn't fold at first appeal, did you not come here in time and use the template from the NEWBIES thread? Usually none go this far.

    Coupon-mad - the vehicle was parked. No implication as to who parked it.

    Unfortunately I found this forum too late for the first appeal.

    Anyway, I've updated the document linked to from earlier to include the photos in point 5 as suggested. I've also fleshed out the text a bit for point 2 - would appreciate thoughts on that.

    I'll give it some time in case there are any more suggestions and plan to upload the PDF at the end of the day.

    Cheers guys!

    We assume you've appealed to POPLA now?

    Keith P said 'looks good' so that a decent vote of confidence. Do you still need others to look, or is it in now?

  • Yep, I've submitted the appeal now thanks.

    Will keep you posted on the outcome.
  • Thanks again for all the help - I received a letter from CEL today saying they've cancelled the charge.

    Well done!
  • Also got an email from PoPLA: "Civil Enforcement have told us they do not wish to contest the Appeal."

    Very satisfying :-)
