Parking Ticket for accidentally overstaying

Sorry bin it, that is ancient (pre-Beavis case 2015!) and very little is usable.

When you search the forum for Euro POPLA, change the default SHOW POSTS.

Really, I thought I used similar stuff to these? https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5917045/popla-stage-eurocarparks-appeal-do-i-have-grounds&highlight=euro+popla https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/75275843#Comment_75275843 Is it just the wording or something else? I'm not a lawyer so I don't really know what I'm doing >_< any tips for the main points I should look out for or focus on?

Yes, focus on posts from 2018 onwards, as if you waffle on about "no loss" then it is out of date by 4 yrars

You dont need to be a lawyer for this. it is all entrely understandable by the layman because thats who we are on here - very few legally trained.

So is any of what I said useful? I was thinking if I did have to start again (I spent over an hour on that last night so I am pretty bummed about that haha), I could use this as a template and modify to suit my situation? https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/75275843#Comment_75275843 and the stuff from the newbies thread it mentions. and this https://www.dropbox.com/s/p7ltb9rcr6zy7kn/Appeal_stage2_POPLA_ECP_draft5.pdf?dl=0

I don't like the first link as points #3 and #4 are pointless, can't win.

The dropbox one is better because it's so detailed ECP might give up.

I've almost finished adapting that one to my case. Is it safe to post here with links to the images I will use?

Coupon-mad

Yes you are safe to show us a link to images in Dropbox, etc.

Forget the 20 minutes Grace. A recent thread on here included a letter from the BPA saying it was 10 minutes in total.

Extract from letter shown in above link:

"13.4 You should allow the driver a reasonable period to leave the private car park after the parking contract has ended, before you take enforcement action. If the location is one where parking is normally permitted, the Grace Period at the end of the parking period should be a minimum of 10 minutes.”

This period covers paying at the start of the parking contract and leaving at the end. It is not necessarily a full 10 minutes at the end of the period of parking and it is not in addition to the entry grace period because the entry grace period is only applicable if the motorist does not stay"

But on this occasion the motorist did stay.

Yet on the BPA website it says ......

"No time limit is specified. This is because it might take one person five minutes, but another person 10 minutes depending on various factors, not limited to disability.”
