One parking solution

Options
Hi All,
Advice please.
I have just had a popla appeal declined against one parking solutions. Incidentally I was visiting greggs and I send the MD an e mail congratulating him on his sausage rolls but tol him how disappointed I was that they were utilising a dodgy company to monitor their car parks.. I have googled the director of one parking solutions and found that he has been fined under the insolvency act for running another company which was insolvent. Do I appeal to a statutory body or wait for the inevitable summons or debt collection letter. I have contacted the BPA but there are no use at all. Many thanks

    You are now at the stage of ignoring everything except a Letter Before Claim or official court correspondence.

    You can see the likelihood of court action here:

    They have six years to pursue a debt through the courts, so no-one can guarantee what their attitude might be in 2024.

    You should pm the MSE Forum Team to change your username. Why do people use their real name here?

    Next time, come here first. We've never lost a POPLA appeal against that bunch and never expect to. You should have come here first.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    For completeness here are the current odds of court http://www.parkingappeals.info/companydata/One_Parking_Solution.html

    I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

    As for appealing to a statutory body forget it. There isn't one.

    Hi. Need help please. My nephew took the car from me 1/04 as he was doing some loading, due to moving out of the country.He lived in the flats next to Vantage Point(Brighton).He used the car park by Vantage Point cause it was easy access to his flat. He left the country on 2/04 for good.Back to Poland. Seriously! i received NTK from OPS 9/04. Picture shows my car was at he car park for 31 min and 5 sec.I appealed(never said who was driving) but it was rejected on 1/05. they gave me POPLA code and now i have not much days left ,so i have to do it fast, but not sure how to start.On the rejection letter they were saying ;( This appeal has been considered in conjunction with the evidence gathered by the
    parking attendant at the time of the event) My nephew said there was never a parking attendant and he was within the car all the time, as he packed lots of things to the car. Any help what to write to POPLA , I will be very grateful PLEASE!!!!

    When you have read the NEWBIE section and if you still have questions, you can start your own thread, however, probably best to inform the PPC of the drivers name and address for service in Poland and let them try to sue him there.

    Nine times out of ten these tickets are scams so complain to your MP.

    Parliament is well aware of the MO of these private parking companies, and on 15th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these shysters. Codes of Practice are being drawn up, an independent appeals service will be set up, and access to the DVLA's date base more rigorously policed, persistent offenders denied access to the DVLA database and unable to operate.

    Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers, but until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.

    Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many of these Private Parking Companies.
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.
