6 minutes - Never left car - £100 fine

Take that POPLA code off the forum right now - eek!

Be patient, I will reply by pm as this is OPS. You have a whole month to use that code.

Whoops. Sorry- removed!

No doubt when challenged these despicable Muppets will bleat on about "the signage at this site being fully audited by the BPA and has been approved", but looking at that Streetview image they will either be lying or the BPA are in on the scam. Any judge seeing that should laugh it out of court, though POPLA should stop it dead before then, scammers!

I have received the popla and they have said I have until the 27th (tomorrow) to pay the £60 or until the 10th to pay £100. When do I need to submit a popla appeal? How do I structure the appeal? 

Thanks

You submit the popla appeal by say day 30 following the date of the code being generated

The third post of the newbies FAQ sticky thread tells you about the process with examples

The Popla decisions thread is a good place to research winning popla appeals too

You need to be a Poirot , not a Clouseau , get the brain matter involved !!

You have ages - up to 33 days to use a POPLA code.  I have been busy this week so haven't replied to your pm yet but remember I said:

I will pm you when I'm less busy next weK.

NOT A SINGLE PERSON PAYS OPS ANYTHING ON THIS FORUM.

Which parking firm do you work for?

Even if you don't, your views are absolutely at odds to the clear ethos of this forum and against the view of Parliament, too.  The new Act wasn't passed due to any rogue actions by drivers!

Why don’t people just buy a ticket when they use a car park?  Is saving a couple of quid really worth all the hassle and worry the OP is now going to have to endure?  Even with all the remarkable help from people on here?

Campaign against unfair scams by all means but how about also pointing out that simply buying a ticket for a couple of quid means you don’t fall prey to the scam in the first place.

Except it's on an access road , not a car park , where ops use underhanded tactics called entrapment to issue a parking charge notice on a non existent car park , meaning it's a penalty notice on a private access road , yet a Parking charge notice was issued

Never mind the elephant in the room known as grace periods , where it is thought that a new government code of practice will allow ten minutes grace period

OPS are currently on warning of a civil restraint order.  This is not a firm to defend or pay!

I was stationary for 3 minutes where the engine was running and I never left the car. I dont think that really qualifies as having to buy a ticket...
