Driver had a reduced fine please help

The keeper of the vehicle involved had been given a reduced fine. Unfortunately the driver panicked and appealed on the companies website naming them the driver.
The driver then appealed again asking for proof of pictures of the vehicle and explaining the there use of larger lettering was not visible on the parking signs.
All letters recovered from parking firm are not properly signed and also if they are you can not make out the signature.
Their response was a reduced fine as the driver had already identified themselves in a previous appeal. Even on the first appeal no POPLA code was given to take it further.
The driver doesn’t know where to look on these threads about what to do next as there is so much to take in. The driver has 14 days to reply and pay fine or proceedings will be issued. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
He fact that this parking firm haven’t shown any evidence of the vehicle and given a POPLA code says to me they are trying all they can to get some money.

Which parking company?Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

CEL are BPA operators and should have provided a POPLA Code. Did you actually get a formal letter of rejection from them?
Have 35 days passed since your initial appeal?Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

Complain to the BPA and ask them to sort this out. Copy all correspondence to them to see what has been exchanged.

Before sending the complaint, just do a last minute check on the CEL website as to the current status of the charge. If it still remains, fire off your complaint.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum.
