Smart Parking. First appeal failed. POPLA appeal next please help

imfromyorks

I’m sorry I’ve been reading at the Newbies but couldn’t find what I want. 

The PCN arrived 32 days after the date of contravention. 

I have sent them an appeal stating the schedule 4 of POFA 2012 but they did not accept my appeal still. They told me I can appeal a further with POPLA. 

Will someone please advise?

What do you need to know that's not already in the POPLA section - third post - of the NEWBIES thread?

If you didn't say who was driving you can't lose at POPLA as long as you follow the advice already here. Already written.  Dead easy.

Make sure in your POPLA appeal you aver that Smart Parking does not have a landowner contract to issue PCNs at the car park at which the parking event took place. Forum regular @Grizebeck has said on a number of occasions that with such an appeal point, Smart will withdraw the charge. Of course, you use all the other appeal points which are in ready to copy template format in the NEWBIES FAQ Announcement, third post.

I’ve sent them proofs of purchase as evidences. They stated that I told them I was with the driver in my comment. But that still didn’t tell who’s the driver?

Can I use the “golden eye” template with Smart Parking. There’s no POFA mentioned in their notice?

Of course.  Plus what Umkomaas said.

Is there an example or a template? I admit I don’t know how to start. I’m very confused with the language 😞

Thank you. Do I need an evidence to attached to POPLA? Sorry for too many questions as I really don’t know what to do and how to start.

No evidence needed.  Just use that as the first appeal point, plus the other POPLA appeal points in post 3 of the NEWBIES thread.  That's why they are there, to show you what to do and what a good PDF POPLA appeal looks like.

Thank you all for your advice. I’m going to make an appeal to POPLA and let you know the outcome.
