Feedback request on my defence to DCB court action - Myrtle street carpark liverpool

Thanks, I will take a look tomorrow.

This sort of evidence is exactly what we need to blow up the lies about DRA stage being 'debt resolution'.

Can you copy & paste your IAS result here too? They are appalling and not impartial or independent. Like the IPC trade body, both are wholly owned by Will Hurley Ltd!

We need that as evidence too. Show us.

You will be a great person to respond to the Public Consultation yourself in August, once you have got your head around the main issues.

Also I wanted to add, in addition to the emails (that they at times didn't reply to) the letters kept coming in the post too, just to keep piling on the pressure.

Absolutely ill get that posted tomorrow, just the same generic nonsense ignoring every valid point I raised, and I didn't know they were all owned by the same people, it makes total sense. And Absolutely I would be eager to give my account of what happened from start to finish next month. As you'll see in the emails, there was zero attempt at engagement, copy and paste replies and so far as just cold replies at the end, they wouldn't even respond in a human way, just robotic demands for payment.

This was my IAS reply: 

Dear ...

The Independent Appeals Service (IAS) has received a decision from the Independent Adjudicator regarding your recent appeal for the below PCN.

Parking Charge Number (PCN): XX

Vehicle Registration: XX

Date Issued: 29/11/2024

Appeal Outcome: Dismissed

The Adjudicators comments are as follows:

"It is important that the Appellant understands that the adjudicator is not in a position to give his legal advice. The adjudicator's role is to look at whether the parking charge has a basis in law and was properly issued in the circumstances of each particular case. The adjudicator's decision is not legally binding on the Appellant (it is intended to be a guide) and they are free to obtain independent legal advice if they so wish. However, the adjudicator is legally qualified (a barrister or solicitor) and decides the appeal according to their understanding of the law and legal principles.

The terms of this appeal are that I am only allowed to consider the charge being appealed and not the circumstances of other drivers or other parking events. The guidance to this appeal also makes it clear that I am bound by the law of contract and can only consider legal challenges not mistakes or extenuating circumstances. I am satisfied that the Operator's signage, which was on display throughout the site, makes it sufficiently clear that the terms and conditions are in force at all times and that a PCN will be issued to drivers who fail to comply with the terms and conditions, regardless of a driver's reasons for being on site or any mitigating factors. While noting their comments, it is clear from the evidence provided to this appeal that the Appellant did indeed enter and use the site otherwise than in accordance with the displayed terms by failing to ensure that their vehicle was properly registered with a valid payment on this occasion as alleged by the Operator, having been allowed an adequate consideration period prior to the charge being issued. It is the driver's (rather than a third party's) responsibility to ensure that the terms and conditions of parking are properly complied with.

I am satisfied that the Operator has proven their prima facie case. Whilst having some sympathy with the Appellant's circumstances, once liability has been established, only the Operator has the discretion to vary or cancel the parking charge based on mitigating circumstances. Accordingly this appeal is dismissed.

"

As your appeal has been dismissed, the Independent Adjudicator has found, upon the evidence provided, that the parking charge was lawfully incurred.

As this appeal has not been resolved in your favour, the IAS is unable to intervene further in this matter.

You should contact the operator within 28 days to make payment of the charge. 

Should you continue to contest the charge then you should consider obtaining independent legal advice.

Yours Sincerely,

The Independent Appeals Service

Hi Nomoreparkingfinesplease

Would you be ok with possibly providing the original IAS adjudication outcome email you received?  I will PM you once you've confirmed that's ok.

I'm currently writing a large comprehensive complaint to the CTSI who have accredited the IAS a competent ADR entity and recently received an adjudication decision that is a carbon copy of yours and is also a carbon copy of this adjudication where the decision was made well over a year ago:
