Park Direct Appeal Rejected

UA1991

Hi everyone

Not had an issue like this where I’ve sent the initial appeal from the newbies thread, and had the below response. I don’t know if I’m being more blind than usual but I’m unsure if I would send another appeal or wait and see?

Do nothing unless you get a court claim or you move
Get on with your life

AS ABOVE

PARK DIRECT ... of course they rejected you, THEY NEED MONEY
And the IAS is simply a load of rubbish, A SCAM ....  Invented by a legal we see on here and a complete load of junk

Yep - we agree. There is NO FAIR APPEAL available for disputes against IPC members.

You could try landowner complaint.

Certainly you DO NOT PAY.

And please respond to the Public Consultation this month! See the bespoke thread about it. Please don't disappear!

We need you! Please read this message and take time this month to do the vital current Public Consultation:

It's important that the Government hears from people like you with unfair charges who are dealing with threats of scary court claims. That's when you win ... but most people don't know that these cases are a greedy scam and are winnable.

The link shows the two vital points to concentrate on, IMHO:

- banning 'fee' add-ons completely.

- making sure a new SINGLE appeals service replaces POPLA and the IAS which are seen as not fully independent and involved in a 'race to the bottom'.

Click through to the main thread about the Consultation.

Do not be deterred by the fact that some questions are for the parking industry only.

We are currently discussing how to respond. Please join us in doing this Consultation before it closes in three weeks. This is your one chance to make a difference re the proper regulation of private parking.

Indeed.

There is now some help on the thread:

We need every poster to come back & complete this vital Consultation before the deadline! Just 2 weeks left but please don't rush it. You can do some then save it and come back to it as you have time.

We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious, we get that.

So to try to help, I've written some guidance on that thread. I am now on question 20 and will do more over the weekend.

Ok thank you - I did the consultation thing btw - if you don't mind me asking, is the standard thing if the appeal gets rejected just to wait? I've used the standard response and the appeals have been rejected so was just wondering if the standard thing is just to wait - it's been a few years since I had any tickets and there seem to have been several at once, must be something in the air
