    In a recent case on here, it was reprted that POPLA ruled in favour of the motorist against MET Parking Stansted ..... quoting BY-LAWS

    However POPLA is a hit and miss setup introduced by the BPA disaster
    Let us know what happens

    Update:

    I received a debt collection email from Debt Recovery Plus. (I'm not worried)
    I haven't submitted a POPLA appeal yet because of my chaotic life. 

    The fine issuer: MET Parking

    I have read the NEWBIE thread and I have a few questions to make sure I understood correctly. It doesn't seem like they're linked to an airport so I'm assuming this is a UKPC.  

    I only received the first email stating I owed them 80 pounds because I overstayed and haven't cleared my plate at Starbucks. Is this considered an NTK? How do I recognize one? I've received nothing that clearly states that.

    This parking lot is like most parking lots at retail centers with an entrance and many parking bays. I'm very cautious as to where I park because I HATE getting fined and I did not spot anything, not even in the parking bay itself. We didn't even exit the car because we were looking for a specific place and ended up leaving to go to another retail center so we didn't even benefit from the spot. 

    How do I prove signage wasn't appropriate? I don't have any pictures.

    Would the No Keeper Liability apply to me as well even though I received the fine in the mail?
    I'm pretty certain I haven't disclosed the identity of the driver because I had already read posts on here regarding that.

    Check the expiry date for your POPLA code as debt letters usually arrive after a POPLA appeal is rejected or the POPLA code is not used to log an appeal and expires.

    I can still usde the code - I haven't opened it but it recognized it and told me to confirm the MET Parking is the issuer.

    I think it will say it's expired when you do "open it".
    You won't find "Parking Lot" on any paperwork or claim it's a car park in the UK not America, sorry but you need to get things correct.

    It was a few weeks ago now, best to search for  MET PARKING threads.

    And you want pictures of the signs at this scam site, play the video and pose when then the signs are shown, do a screenshot
