Hi all, grateful for any help... I'm new to the forum and sorry if this is the wrong place to message. I got a parking ticket from APCOA after parking at a train station. I have dyslexia and long covid and accidentally put in the last three digits wrong - sometimes my memory fails and I get brain fog. I put in the last three digits of my old car but the first four digits were correct. I am naive and thought if I explained my mistake and show my ticket the ticket would be waived. It was rejected and I got asked if I want to pay £20.
I appealed to POPLA and explained I have long covid and a learning disability but wasn't explicit. I also realise I should have mentioned the Equalities Act after reading the forum. I am worried my appeal will be rejected and not sure what will happen after that. I have put in a complaint on the APCOA website and also appealed to the landowners - Network Rail and South Western Rail but they won't help.....
If POPLA reject, can you guide me on my options? Any advice appreciated - I feel really overwhelmed by this!0 -
