£100 - original parking charge
£25 - court filing fee
£25 - hearing fee, if it gets that far
£7 or £8 interest.
£50 - solicitor costs for preparing case papers (maximum, capped) - where applicable

So not much more than £200 - IF YOU LOSE!

Anything else they try to add will be spurious and must be challenged with the Judge.

IF YOU WIN - none of the above will be payable by you. But you could claim:

£95 capped maximum for loss of earnings/annual leave for half a day (take pay slips for proof)
Travel costs - public transport or mileage x 45p per mile
Parking costs.

You lost out in the POPLA assessor lottery, a different assessor might have found in your favour.
You won't have helped yourself with a weak appeal and follow up rebuttal. You admitted in your appeal that you were parked over the lines which I said you shouldn't do.

It's also a shame you admitted to being the driver as MB by showing a agreement/contract for an entirely different site, would have failed to comply with POFA by not providing a relevant contract. This would have been flagged up by a competent POPLA assessor.

That said the decision is not binding on you, though it will give MB more confidence in pursuing you for the charge.

It's your choice but if you dont pay them I would think if they decided to take it as far as a court claim, you would with help from the forum and a strong defence, have a very good chance of winning.

You would have to be prepared to put in the time and work.
