Because you don't have a winning point for POPLA.  However there is no harm in trying.

Is the faulty pay machine not mentioning?

Not at POPLA. Yes at court.

Would you happen to have mobile phone location data that has adequately triangulated to a payment machine on that day?

I don't know  I'll ask the driver but that wouldn't prove the driver tried to pay?

Couple of years ago I successfully used an appeal copied on here, that was many pages long and mostly irrelevant but it worked  the parkos withdrew the claim. Is it worth submitting the 26 page appeal on the basis they have to answer every point and give up?

Coupon-mad, could you explain why you would not use popla? i thought it was always recomended for a couple of reasons 1) it costs them £30 to defend it.  2) It shows them you know the system and wont be a push over

3) if it did go to court it shows the judge  you are trying to be reasonable and trying to sort it out and not just ignoring them? 

 I understand it is biased and i will probably lose at popla but is there harm in trying? 

 in the event of losing im not bothered about going to court and facing them (even though its not my ticket, ie im RC not driver)

thank you

as mentioned by coupon mad and inferred by myself,  you as RK have no winning appeal point, hence why the replies reflect that point of stopping for the foreseeable future 

It may not get to court, usually doesn't, so I doubt that you would be facing anybody,  regardless of the facts in the case,  even if it did get to a hearing you would not be facing ECP, nor DCB Legal,  because neither would be there 

Being the RK but not the driver is not a valid defence point   ( it's not an appeal angle either,  hence why we are saying that you dont have a winning appeal point  )

If the RK doesn't dob in the actual driver,  its the RK that will bear the burden 

But yes that faulty machine   ( common problem   )  could sway a judge in your favour 

But any future money claim is likely to be discontinued before the court hearing fee needs to be paid , so playing the long game should work,  as seen in the discontinuations thread by Umkomaas,  around 660 and rising
