POPLA appeal lost, parking company authority since suspended - can they bring court action?

TrundleVeg

I recently lost a POPLA appeal against PPS (London) ltd. My appeal was fairly standard, unfortunately PPS seem to be fairly competant and had a decent evidence pack tailored to the usual POPLA appeal points.


I emailed the landowner and have received a reply stating they have since suspended parking control with PPS due to complaints about overzealous ticketing (surprise surprise)



Should they permanently suspend parking control ie. Terminate their contract with PPS, does that remove PPS' ability to bring small claims action? Or does the fact that they had landowner authority at the time of the PCN allow them to bring suit?


Would an email or letter from the landowner (should I be able to get one) saying they do not authorise PPS to take small claims action be a defence?



Thanks!

If they pursue you to court the fact that they have subsequently lost the contract won't mean that they cannot try to enforce the "unpaid invoice"

It does probably mean that the landowner has little influence now to get this cancelled though!

Interesting ..... and well done to the landover for spotting a scammer like PPS.

Highly possible that they will chase you with nutcase debt collectors who you ignore.

YES, see if you can get a letter saying the landowner does not permit them to take you to court.

That will scupper them
