NCP airport parking charge

Hi,

I have received an NCP parking charge to keeper notice for airport drop-off parking.

On the day in question, the pay terminal was faulty and the amount showing on the card reader was much higher than the total on screen (?payments getting stacked on card machine).

I went to another terminal and it could not find my vehicle so it asked for an arrival time which I estimated. I then paid that amount and have now received a fine.

I appealed through NCP and it has been rejected. I am going to appeal through POPLA but would prefer not to pay the higher fine amount if it is likely to fail.

I would appreciate if anyone could shed some insight into this and whether it is worth appealing.

Thanks

    You definitely do NOT have a fine, just an invoice

    Which airport. ? Have you studied the airport group thread. ?

    Was the driver revealed in that initial appeal to NCP ?

    Are you sure that its NCP , who are in administration ) and not Times24 ? ( the phoenix company. )

    Do you have a popla code from the private parking company. ?

    Indeed, odd that it is NCP?

    Are you sure?

    "I am going to appeal through POPLA but would prefer not to pay the higher fine amount if it is likely to fail."

    But you won't be paying anything even if POPLA fails! You don't have to pay the invoice.

    Did you already admit to driving and ruin your 100% POPLA nailed on win?

    Birmingham Airport.

    I have not seen the airport thread, do you have a link please? I cannot find it (I'm not to forums sorry).

    The driver was not revealed however in my initial appeal I think I referred to myself having issues with the machine.It is definitely NCP and they provided a verification code for POPLA yes

    Then you win easily.

    Just put Airport drop off group thread into the search box at the top.

    Or try this search term to find a POPLA appeal already done & won:

    Airport non-POFA POPLA statutory control

    Hi again,

    Apologies if I'm not getting it but just to confirm - should I just copy the template for a POPLA appeal and add on the bit about having made a payment and submit? Do I need to include all the legal references?

    Thanks

    There are NO popla templates, but the popla appeal advice is in post 3 in the newbies sticky thread in announcements near the top of the forum

    You should also study the Popla Decisions thread, plus the Airport group thread, and use the provided search term in the search box to find the Popla appeal mentioned by coupon mad above
