    Really?  It lasts 33 days not 28.
    28 unfortunately;



    No, 33 actually, and PoPLA isn't independent either. Please don't believe what the unregulated parking industry referred to as rogues, scammers, and bloodsuckers by UK MPs across all parties has to say.

    Yes, we know it says 28 days, but be assured... you have 33 days.

    Have JLL or CompletelyRetail responded yet?

    So, anyway - I'm guessing with the POPLA appeal I go all in with an actual complaint accurate complaint (i.e. there's no generic template)? I state that the signs are inadequate - hard to see for the driver at entry and the time limits are not clearly legible?  Think my deadline is Thursday evening.

    Have a look at the third post in the sticky Announcement for NEWBIEZS where you will find links to several appeal points. These will normally include (where applicable) : -

    Not the landowner
    No standing to issue charges in their own name
    Inadequate signage/signs incapable of forming a contract
    BPA CoP failures
    PoFA failures
    Anything else relevant.

    Include photos of the signs as viewed from a driver's perspective to highlight how the charge for breaching Ts and Cs cannot be read. Embed images (do not use links to them)

    Show us your draft before you submit it.

    Weird, seems I lost a post...anyway, I said other than an accurate (but short) letter from myself I was thinking of using this;

    And no landowner authority which is also one of the suggested POPLA templates.

    What, you mean just 'stick' the 2 'letters' together in one response?

    Exactly as per the linked example there in the NEWBIES thread that shows you what a good POPLA appeal with pictures looks like.

    Can't download that on this device.  Can you host it using Dropbox as we'll happily click on that.
