Parking Charge Notice - help with POPLA appeal

Consumer_champion

Hello all

I am a newbie to this forum. I received a PCN in May (in my capacity as keeper of the vehicle).

Coupon-mad

Which PPC, and was the PCN a postal one about overstaying at a retail park?

Before trying POPLA, always exhaust (and we mean, exhaust) the retailer complaint which if you speak to the right person is easy to get the PCN cancelled.

I tried to post a dropbox link to my draft POPLA appeal but I can't as a new user. Is there a way to get round this?

Make it a dead URL because you are barred from posting a live link

Nine times out of ten these tickets are scams

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.
