    Wait as long as you can for the landowner response, but don't miss the appeal deadline if a cancellation is not forthcoming.
    Send the appeal template in blue text. Send it unaltered, from the keeper. It is called a one-size fits all template because that it is exactly what it is. I can't see anything in your post to suggest the template doesn't fit.

    Get photos of the site and signage ready for a PoPLA appeal. UKPC signs are always inadequate and incapable of forming a contract. Include photos of where the alleged event occurred to show how the surface markings were also inadequate.

  • Hi thanks for replying, i will sumbit the appeal now as i am near deadline, the surface marking are super faint and honestly i am about an inch over the line in this sceanrio, just think this whole thing is bollicks and i cant be arsed for it. the only reason i asked about the template fit for all, is it includes talking about payment prompt machines etc, and there are pictures of the sign when i log it online. just wondering do i take those parts out or just leave it completely

    It is better to include something that is not relevant, than to omit something important, which is why posters are advised not to fiddle with the template unless they really know what they are doing.
    The template is also designed to stop motorists from blabbing about the driver's identity.

    What 'appeal deadline' are you talking about? It's not 14 days.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    hi there ive gotten a email response with a POPPLA code what do i do with this now ?
    We have previously written to you regarding the above parking charge, requesting more information so we may reach a final decision
    for your appeal. As we have not received any further correspondence, the appeals process is complete and our view is that the parking
    charge has been correctly issued.
    Our appeals process is now concluded, you may now choose one of the following options:
    1) Pay the parking charge detailed above at the reduced rate of £60.00 to UK Parking Control Ltd. PLEASE REFER OVERLEAF FOR
    PAYMENT OPTIONS AND ADDRESS DETAILS.
    2) Make an appeal to the independent adjudicator POPLA (Parking on Private Land Appeals) using the verification code provided above.
    Please note that if you wish to appeal to POPLA, you will lose the right to pay the discounted rate of £60.00, and should POPLA reject
    your appeal you will be required to pay the full amount of £100.00. If you opt to pay the parking charge you will be unable to appeal
    with POPLA. Appeals to POPLA must be made within twenty-eight days from the date of this letter. To appeal with POPLA, please visit
    www.popla.co.uk. If you are unable to access the internet, you may appeal by post – this must be done using a POPLA postal form
    which may be obtained by contacting POPLA by phone (0330 159 6126) or post (PO Box 1270, Warrington, WA4 9RL).
    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.
    3) If you choose to do nothing the parking charge will automatically increase after thirty-five days from the date of this letter to
    £100.00 and the matter will be passed to our debt recovery agent, at which point you will be liable to pay an additional charge of £70,
    in accordance with the terms and conditions of parking, and further charges will be claimed if court action is taken against you. Any
    unpaid court judgement may adversely affect your credit rating.
    Yours Sincerely,
    Appeals Department
    UK Parking Control Limited
