    Nope, I will take a look at that and get it added there, so people help on that thread or it's just to help other people see what Popla do? Mine was fairly laughable to be honest in the way they dealt with it

    The idea is, it's a thread of decisions that people can learn from

    "This is a joke as I parked on a Sunday and the sign clearly states all day on Sunday for 60p so the assessor completely missed that part!"

    Did you raise a complaint that the Assessor failed to consider that it was a Sunday and therefore 60p was enough, thus the Assessor erred on a material fact. As such, the lack of evidence from the operator to prove the machine was working should have meant the appellant's case wasn't disproved by the operator. The PCN was not properly given,

    Nope, didn't realise you could complain to Popla, let me look into that, they make it sound like this judgement is final with them and no appeals etc.

    It is final. They won't reverse it. But obviously you complain and get them to admit they got it wrong.

    Had this through the post, so reading the sticky I should reply to them with the following? And tweak it a little

    Thanks,

    Dear Sirs,

    Your ref: [insert reference number]

    Proposed legal proceedings

    Claimant: [insert name of parking company]

    I refer to your letter of claim.

    I confirm that my address for service for the time being is as follows, and any older address must be erased from your records:

    [Insert correct address here]

    You should revert to your client because the 'propensity to pay' score in my case is zero, so any claim is hopeless and a waste of the court fee (whether 'fronted' by your firm or not). Move on to weaker victims.

    The alleged 'debt' is disputed and any court proceedings will be vigorously defended.

    Yours faithfully,
