Smart parking

prideus

Hi,

Hoping someone can give me some advice.

I recently received a pcn for non payment. After looking back at my invoices this was on a day where the driver had entered the car park but unable to find a space, left and paid for parking elsewhere, within my appeal I attached the invoice showing that the driver had paid for parking elsewhere on that day.

They rejected the appeal saying the driver failed to pay, and looking at their evidence the vehicle was on the land for 14 minutes. I've since visited the car park and after reading a sign it states if you do not accept the terms you have 10 minutes to leave.

nothing but wait for the POPLA code


I hope you did not tell them who was driving on the day ?

I didn't I always referred to the vehicle entering the car park

Never specifically mentioning the driver

good , then wait for the POPLA code (or they cancel), then draft your POPLA appeal (if required) by reading post #3 of the NEWBIES sticky thread and also other threads

waiting for a space is not parking and apart from POFA and NO landowner contract , poor signage , BPA CoP failures and clause #13 of the BPA CoP, you will state frustration of contract due to waiting for a space that never materialised, hence why the driver parked elsewhere, with a copy of the ticket as proof of intent and honesty

But that's not what you have told the whole world in your opening post above.

You need to edit that post.

I suggest it would be more appropriate if the two biggest paragraphs there were to look something like:

Can you spot the subtle differences?

The parking companies trawl this forum just waiting for people to trip themselves up and can try and use your posts against you.

Coupon-mad

They rejected the appeal

Then you have a POPLA code already, and it lasts for 32 days max. Still in date?

You can win at POPLA by using the templates in the NEWBIES thread 3rd post, and by adding your proof that you actually left and parked elsewhere (POPLA like that sort of evidence). show us what you come up with after reading about POPLA and the template wording to include to cover the other bases.

BTW, you'd have won with ONE email, had you come here earlier. Next time!
