    Spaces , full stops , question marks , they all count , apart from spaces the rest are not required

    Do a severe cull as described earlier , less is more , it's bullet points , not a chatty letter , shorten it because I saw plenty of ways of reducing it
  • Hi, the appeal to Popla has been rejected and I have received a second notice to keeper from the parking company. It states 28 days to pay or it will increase to £170. I know this bit is illegal. 
  • Hi, one of the replies mentioned the case would win in court, just not at popla. Can I ask what is the reasoning behind this? Many thanks

    It isn't illegal. It's just not got any basis in law. Different 

    Because as you know a contract must have certainty of terms.

    Because we see reported wins 99% of the time and courts have legally-knowledgeable Judges.

    It's been reported here before that POPLA has nail technicians and 'racy novel' authors acting as Assessors.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • OK, so they go to court hoping people will be intimidated or just ignore it rather than putting in a proper defence. Thanks for the information 
  • Hi all, 

    Nearly a year later and I have received a letter before action from Gladstones. I have drafted a SAR to send to the parking company but they have no information on their privacy page. I've included a link.

    It looks like they don't own their domain name. 
    I've dug out the original PCN and it does have an general email address. Should I send to that and also their registered address.

    Thanks, I was using the address on the original parking ticket and the link to privacy wouldn't work on any browser.
