    Take the portal option and just add a line stating NONE OF THE REASONS OFFERED WERE ACCURATE SO HERE IS MY APPEAL...
    kinda obvious. If the choices don't fit, tell them.

    I too would go with the last option shown that mentioned signage, and adding a one liner in the appeal text that none of the options were applicable. You do not need to include photos either despite what their portal says.

    Do make the complaint to the BPA about being unable to appeal as keeper or hirer.

  • I have appealed to Gemini and complained to BPA.
    Thanks all
  • hi I received a response to my appeal informing me with a POPLA code. I just now go to POPLA with the code and appeal that way?

    This is the email rejecting the appeal, in the letter they are stating "the vehicle broke the following parking regulation". It sounds like to me they are trying to get around the whole vehicle hirer/keeper and blame the vehicle, I don't know.????

    The vehicle was the transgressor , the catalyst , the driver has liability as driver of the offending vehicle !! Standard practice and nothing to worry about

    As hirer or lessee you are appealing on various points , the main one being that the claimant failed to comply with POFA , so as keeper you have no legal liability in law

    So they fail the law then you win on a technicality

    Now construct a typical Popla appeal based on other 2020 hirer or lessee keeper popla appeals , changing any details to suit , same as everyone else with hire or lease or company vehicles
  • Thank you for all your help Redx and everyone else, I do appreciate it.

    That letter you have shown tells the world your POPLA code. Let's hope someone with a different objective to you doesn't try to appeal to POPLA on your behalf.

    I was thinking that.   Anyway, this stage is covered in the NEWBIES thread post #3.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
    CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:
    Home»Motoring»Parking Tickets Fines & Parking - read the NEWBIES THREAD
  • Thanks for the heads up, I uploaded the wrong edited image from my phone.

    Thanks all I am going through the Newbies thread post 3 right now but do you think I should upload photos in regards to signage as I passed the place I got the PCN for and noticed the sign going into the area is obstructed by a tree branch?
