Carparkers Appeal
Comments

@LDast I like the sound of that however is that amount of antagonism appropriate? Serious question happy to say that as long as it isn’t going to cause more problems down the line haha0

Nothing wrong with that bespoke appeal by Ldast, it encompasses both issues in one3

Absolutely categorically YES.foehammer92 said:@LDast I like the sound of that however is that amount of antagonism appropriate?
If you are doubting it, you don't know the rogue parking industry! You must have seen my quotes from MPs in the NEWBIES thread? Parliament didn't hold back!PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:

DVLA KADOE Contract term:-
"A7. Membership of an Accredited Trade Association
A7.1. The Customer shall at all times be a member of a DVLA Accredited Trade Association (“ATA”) and maintain membership of the ATA and comply with the ATA’s Code of Practice or conduct.
A7.2. The Customer shall notify the DVLA immediately if the ATA finds any non-compliance issues, if any sanctions are applied or points placed on the Customer’s membership licence, or if its membership or approved operator status is suspended or ended. In these circumstances, the DVLA may suspend or terminate the KADOE Service without further notice5 -
What problems down the line do you imagine that appeal could cause? Do you not feel antagonised by the actions of an ex-clamper thug operating an unregulated private parking company who is trying to con you out of your money by issuing you a speculative invoice for an alleged breach of contract? Give as good as you get is my motto.foehammer92 said:@LDast I like the sound of that however is that amount of antagonism appropriate?

To put it metaphorically. This is the guy who just broke into your house, is demanding money and threatening your wife & kids, and your response is " oh! would you like a cuppa and some cake"foehammer92 said:@LDast I like the sound of that however is that amount of antagonism appropriate?

These companies are run by Scumbags, who do not care about you, the stress they cause, or bullying you into paying. So , whilst I appreciate in keeping matters civil. Be professional, but you are under no obligation to be NICE.5 -
You do realise that this whole sorry industry is based on extracting exorbitant fees after they have set up traps to catch people out with any made up terms and conditions they can think of, and they don't care how they do it.They actually want you to break their silly rules they don't actually manage anything it's their only source of income, they are not Mr Cuddly John Lewis, they are not nice people at all!4

Ok I will go with it. I have no problem with being sharp haha. I recently got a parking charge overturned independently of this forum without any help. Granted I was 100% in the right unlike this time. It was an error with daylight savings on their part. But my initial appeal was a mix of the facts and some abuse and insults about their morals and competence. They denied my appeal but popla came through for me. I didn’t know if my antagonising comments maybe overshadowed the facts in my previous case. But ok if the people here say it’s all fair game I will go with it

Oh one other thing if I use this particular appeal, should I add anything? Perhaps the template paragraph about asking for them to provide all their evidence? To make it more tedious for them? Or just stick to the original?0

No additions, just use the appeal by Ldast as is , appealing as keeper, do not reveal who was driving3
