Civil Enforcement PCN

I still don’t know what to do if Popla deny my appeal. Sorry but I struggle to understand a lot of this so whilst I appreciate you referring me to previous threads it’s difficult for me to understand

Wait and see first. Show us the POPLA Decision in the end.

Not exactly; you don't pay the invoice (not a fine) unless and until a judge in the small claims court tells you to, certainly not just because POPLA has refused your appeal.  This will be after receiving a claim form, submitting a defence and a witness statement with evidence some time down the road.  Could be months.

So after all of this I could be potentially paying more than the original £60.00 plus all the headache of this looking over me…

No.

Does anybody believe Civil Enforcement Ltd will actually take people to court for cases of innocent error such as this?

There's a difference between "taking to court" and "making a claim".

They'll make a claim for anything and everything - with the intention of discontinuing at the eleventh hour. It's a game of chicken.

Not discontinuing and taking it all the way to a courtroom in front of a judge (although it's pretty informal) is very rare and not profitable unless the claim is more than £600 generally ie. multiple tickets
