    Yes - and the 3rd post of the NEWBIES thread tells everyone which box to tick. I thought from your question, that "which box to tick" was what you needed to know. That specific post explains it all.

    I was very much trying to help you.

    I didn't understand why a poster would need to come off this forum for how to put in a POPLA appeal. My point was, don't believe what a scammer (or POPLA) say you should do.

    I worry that it looks to us that you are placing your faith in what we would call 'biased' instructions published by POPLA, who work for the BPA and are funded by a "rogue" bunch of PPC "outrageous scam bloodsuckers" (that's an MP's phrase, spoken in Parliament in 2018).

    They're not really/wholly there to assist consumers (we'd observe that the BPA's friends/colleagues at POPLA merely pay lip service to that) and POPLA are certainly not considered by MPs to be independent from the BPA.

    All you need to know about putting in a POPLA appeal is in the 3rd post of the NEWBIES thread.

    I don't think we've linked it anywhere?

    I'm wondering if you are reading the right post.  What do you mean is "linked to several times above"?

    The NEWBIES thread is pinned as a sticky thread, at the top of this board and the third post of it is all about POPLA stage.  That advice (that I wrote specially for this stage) includes which box to tick, and why.

    Hi all assuming this means it's dropped and good news ! As the wording isn't the clearest. Many thanks for help if so.

    Yes, it's more rubbish phrasing by POPLA. Only you can withdraw your appeal, the PPC can only withdraw their charge. 

    Semantics aside - you win, game over, nice one, well done. 
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    You'll win on the first (non-POFA NTH) point anyway. 

    They gave up because they couldn't win.
