Is there any point in appealing this Parking Charge?

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to you all - I got this good news today. It looks like the PALS team at the hospital have removed the charge. !! It might also be because I alerted them to the fact that their Twitter hanldle on their contact page took me to a hospital in California, of the same name? I'm sure they were appreciative.

The operator has contacted us and told us that they have withdrawn your appeal.

If you have already paid your parking charge, this is the reason your appeal will have been withdrawn. Unfortunately, you cannot pay your parking charge and appeal, which means that POPLA’s involvement in your appeal has ended. You will not be able to request a refund of the amount paid in order to resubmit your appeal to us.

If you have not paid your parking charge, the operator has reviewed your appeal and chosen to cancel the parking charge. As the operator has withdrawn your appeal, POPLA’s involvement has now ended and you do not need to take any further action.

Kind regards

POPLA Team

But that isn't from PALS, that's a POPLA notification after the PPC withdrew from the process (not the nonsense POPLA statement that the PPC has 'withdrawn your appeal', only you could do that!). 

It may have been PALS pressure that caused the PPC to withdraw, but whatever, you've won and the monkey is off your back, well done. 👏
