A novel idea but… you could just accept that you parked where you shouldn’t have and pay the Parking Charge.

The car wasn't parked and the charge is totally unreasonable.
No signs on entry and difficult to read rights placed further down in the street.

We agree.

The poster you quoted is an admitted poster from the parking or connected industry, as their previous posts (and this one) show.  That's OK. It's interesting to hear the opposite view.  I've heard a lot of that in virtual meetings since 2020 and it just reminds us why we do this to help people.

Seeing PPCs concerned enough to
lurk and/or post here, and even quote this forum in court documents, also reminds us that we are making a real difference.

Thank you. I suspected as much.
Many thanks for all you do to help motorists.

A more novel idea would be your industry complying with it's own COP's, rules, and what little regulation it operates under, instead of dreaming up new ways of trying to flaunt them to scam people!

My appeal was rejected.

Below is their response.  I'll draft my POPLA appeal and post for comments.

PAYMENT DUE DATE: 11th March 2024

TOTAL AMOUNT DUE: £60.00 

 

Dear xxx           

 

Thank you for your appeal against the above Parking Charge Notice (PCN) on behalf of the driver. We have carefully considered your appeal, however on this occasion the appeal has been rejected for the following reason;

                                                                                                                         

Whilst we note the comments and reason for appeal, as per our photographic evidence, the vehicle was parked in contravention of the advertised terms and conditions. As the vehicle was parked in an area where no parking is allowed, we can confirm that this PCN has been issued correctly.

You have now reached the end of our internal appeals procedure and therefore you now have two options; you can either pay or appeal to POPLA - you cannot do both:

You can pay the total amount due as shown above via the following payment options;

• Call us on: 01302 513232
• Pay online: www.pcnpayments.com
• Send a postal order: Premier Park Ltd, PO Box 624, Exeter, EX1 9JG

Or, you can appeal to an Independent Appeals Service, POPLA (Parking on Private Land Appeals) using the POPLA reference code provided above. Please note, should you decide to appeal to POPLA and your appeal is subsequently rejected or you withdraw your appeal, the option to pay a discounted amount will no longer be available and the full amount of the PCN will become due. Please note, if you pay the PCN prior to appealing to POPLA, your appeal will be withdrawn as you will have accepted liability in full.

If you decide to appeal to POPLA, you will need to visit their website, www.popla.co.uk where further details of how to appeal (either online or by downloading the relevant forms) can be found. If you are unable to access their website, please call us for further information on how to obtain the forms. Please ensure your POPLA Reference Number, as noted above, is quoted on all correspondence to POPLA. You have 28 days from the date of this email to submit an appeal to POPLA. If you appeal to POPLA we will suspend recovery activity on the PCN and the charge will not increase until the appeal has been determined.

 By law we are also required to inform you that Ombudsman Services (www.ombudsman-services.org) provides an alternative dispute resolution service that would be competent to deal with your appeal. However, we have not chosen to participate in their alternative dispute resolution service. As such should you wish to appeal then you must do so to POPLA, as explained above.

If you do not make payment or submit an appeal to POPLA within the relevant timeframe, the outstanding PCN may be passed to our appointed debt collection agency for further action. All costs associated with this process will be added to the amount outstanding.

I've been reading the Newbies Thread a few times but having difficulty determining which link is appropriate.
I've finally deciphered post #3 and will spend tomorrow trying again and hope to put together my reply before the end of the day. The £60 ends tomorrow.

Premier Park is the parking company and I've just seen a post by Coupon mad saying they don't loose at POPLA. Do you think I should still appeal or pay the fine? Thanks.

"The £60 ends tomorrow".

That's irrelevant, as you know from the Q&A in the first post of the NEWBIES thread.

It's not a fine and you WON'T pay a penny.

I received my appeal refusal after 9pm on the 26th of February with 28 days to reply.
With 29 days in February, is tomorrow 24th March my last day to submit my POPLA appeal or the fact it arrived so late on the 26th means the last day will be 26th March?

(I've been caught up caring for an elderly relative and when I got back last week I then feel ill and only just getting some energy back.)

You have until day 33.
