POPLA UNSUCCESSFUL - PAYING UP - NOT WORTH THE TORTURE

Please don't pay. That would be making yourself a victim of this scam operation. Lots and lots of posters here lose at POPLA. None of them pay.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

I hope they all go out of business, cannot come quick enough - bit too late for me .... I cannot put myself through the hours and hours it took me to beg for advice/draft/research/redraft and then send a lengthy appeal only for it to be looked at biasedly by a an exhairdresser thinking she is a legal expert... to add insult to serious injury - they actually have a tab at the end of the POPLA appeal page for people to make payment to the ppc
I wish I had known it would come to this, I seriously would have put myself through the torture - I will never go to the local high street ever again - I will be buying online
Down with PPC's - bye bye high street -0 -
What a total drama queen
Try putting things in prospective2 -
I showed you the draft, coupon- mad before sending and two other people on here appealed successfully at the POPLA at the SAME LOCATION-I am a very determined person and sent hours drafting and researching this appeal. The assessor has been biased in their assessment - I would have paid £60 now I have to pay £100 - If I keep living in hope - I am going to have bailiffs knocking on my door and court cases galore! I am an elderly man, I cannot take this pressure - the world is unfair but its the one we live in - just advise people not to park in private car parks or to go to local shopping centres0

You won't see bailiffs before any court case is lost and they won't be knocking at your door unless you fail to pay what the court orders in the timescale allowed.
"court cases galore!" exactly how many PCNs do you have outstanding?
I agree with @BrownTrout.1 -
now I have to pay £100.You don't. Most people lose at POPLA. It is no big deal what an ex hairdresser thinks.
NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
If I keep living in hope - I am going to have bailiffs knocking on my door.You won't. They can't!
Get your MP to write and complain to the landowner and set out your position. Come back if that doesn't work but just laugh at the debt demands, they are not from bailiffs.

If it had been the IAS then it would have been a forgone conclusion that you would have lost at the second appeal stage. Many people who have lost or skipped the IAS stage have gone on to win at court.
It's your money and your choice however I would sooner give the first beggar I saw £100.00 than pay it to a PPC. I don't care if it took the time I have learnt a lot from the experience.

Why not write to the PPC and say that you dispute the debt and you will not be paying them unless a judge orders it. Tell them not to pass your details to any debt collection companies or to send you any debt collection letters, as a debt does not exist until a judge says so. I know people who have done this and it works.6

That is worth doing. I also know people who have done this and it worked. No DRA letters at all.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

It is a business that combines two things: Printer with a WiFi and an app to print from the phone. You can add more printers and put the printer in any public place for the public to use.
