Ocean Parking - not issuing NTK following POFA

Umkomaas

McDonalds are usually most unhelpful in getting parking charges cancelled, so I'm sure it was the POPLA appeal that looked 'too weighty' for Ocean to commit the time resource to respond to it, coupled with the fact that had it gone the full mile to POPLA it would have cost them the POPLA fee of £30. 

As an aside:

5. The charge is disproportionate and not a genuine pre-estimate of loss

That is a dead-in-the-water appeal point - by some 7 years - since The Supreme Court - the highest court in the land whose judgments are binding on all lower courts - determined that GPEOL proof was no longer relevant in the vast majority of private parking cases. 

Anyway, you've won, well done. 👍

Thanks for the clarification on the GPEOL. I'll know not to use that if I have to go through this process again.

Knowing the operator would have had to pay £30 - I see how it makes sense to load the appeal with as much information as possible and I guess force them to decide if its worth pursuing for a return of £70.

Nicely done (apart from the dead appeal point that no-one reading this must ever copy!).

I have a very similar situation to appeal (Ocean's Parking issued a PCN later then 14 days)

Can I ask which option did you select on the initial 'Start an Appeal' page on POPLA?

You should start your own thread/discussion as it tends to get a bit complicated and confusing if we try to respond to two different posters on the same thread.
ETA - I see you now have, thank you.
