Info needed re keeper \ registered keeper on ECP appeal page - Now CST LAW Letter - should i pay !

The_Deep

This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of contracts for alleged parking offences, aided and abetted by a handful of low-rent solicitors.

Parking Eye, CPM, Smart, and another company have already been named and shamed, as has Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (these two law firms take hundreds of these cases to court each year). They lose most of them, and have been reported to the regulatory authority by an M.P. for unprofessional conduct

Hospital car parks and residential complex tickets have been especially mentioned.

The problem has become so rampant that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers. Watch the video of the Second Reading in the House of Commons recently

and complain in the most robust terms to your MP. With a fair wind they will be out of business by Christmas.

ok, thanks, but what about my query post 21 -

on the popla grounds for appeal page, what is the Other Grounds for appeal ( Appeals based solely on the following grounds for appeal are less likely to be successful) for

Thanks

Just tick the 'Other' box - standard forum advice, no one has suffered as a result.

What does it mean? Who knows, it's just a 'catch-all' I guess. Only POPLA (or more likely the BPA who gave them the categories) will know exactly what they were thinking about.

No need to scratch your head any further.

(Appeals based solely on the following grounds for appeal are less likely to be successful)

No they are not!

It is shocking that POPLA retain that lie, fed to them by the BPA, we believe. Guess what?

That misleading statement was there BEFORE this POPLA service even received a single appeal...

You do not put ANYTHING in that box OTHER THAN "Please see my appeal uploaded as file..."
Otherwise they will ignore your appeal file, and just reject your summary appeal.

Hi, received ECP evidence, ok have 7 days to respond . looking at their evidence they sent a lot of photos, they sent a copy of the car park which has been taken from google maps, just compared it, they have just added a few points like The PCN (NTK/NTO) has been checked by Solicitors who specialise in assisting private car park operators – legal advice and pre legal advice with regards signage and adhering to POFA and both code of practice blah blah, i am going to scour the site now, dont want anyone to tell me what to do but can anyone point me in the right direction to start to reply, Thanks

Redx

yes, read through their evidence pack and make a note of anything they have failed on , or they have not contested

landowner contracts, signage, POFA2012 , NTK , anything at all

also read a few recent 2018 popla rebuttals so you know what has worked for others

bear in mind you only have 2000 characters for the rebuttal portal, so not many words

I will start you off with post #51 in this thread
