    POPLA have been finding for APCOA in recent Penalty Charge cases. But APCOA needs to respond to POPLA to rebut your appeal.  But sometimes it's all too much of a faff for them and they withdraw. So you'll need to wait and see how it goes on. 

    Even if you 'lose' at POPLA, you do not pay this. Only a judge can instruct you to pay APCOA, and APCOA won't go anywhere near a judge. Keep us informed of progress. 👍
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    I would not send those. Too wordy. Won't work.

    Just do a POPLA Appeal saying that APCOA only have authority to issue PCNs not PNs
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    APCOA is not a prosecuting authority; presenting a private contractual sum as a statutory ‘Penalty Notice’ misrepresents its legal basis and should be reported as suspected fraud (false representation) to the police.

    I’m really confused now. What do you mean by no chance?

    Look at the posts I was replying to. I did not say YOU had no chance. But don't allege fraud in civil cases and certainly not at POPLA. It'll fly over their little heads.

    I advised what to try. You won't be paying anyway,
