POPLA decision refused.

Loading and unloading isn't parking. Assuming the charge has been transferred to your name, just wait for a letter of claim.
Always remember to abide by Space Corps Directive 39436175880932/B:
'All nations attending the conference are only allocated one parking space.'

It isn't a fine: private companies canot issue fines and if you look on any paperwork they have sent you will see that they do not say it is a fine.
It's an invoice for breaching some contrived conditions which you are deemed to have agreed to by the simple virtue of being in that location; whether or not those conditions were correctly stated and/or are legal and/or whether or not you did actually infringe the conditions are the items of relevance.
Appealing to popla will generaly result in a refusal, as they are bought and paid for by the parking companies. I don't even know if it's worth going to the effort of jumping through the hoops to just show you've done your part in good faith.
Admitting you were the driver is generally a bad idea, but if it was done then that's the way it is.
Attempting to give a story or explain is generally a futile effort as these companies sole purpose in life, their business mode, is to take your money.
Follow the advice here if/when a letter of claim arrives (do not ignore it).
There's a whole routine to follow to resolve these things; make sure you don't trip up along the way!

CAB are generally useless.
Popla is corrupt, so don't blame yourself. A Popla appeal generally goes "Was there a sign of any sort?" "Yes? Appeal dismissed."
If you let us know the name of the parking company we can tell you what to do next.2 -
Don't contact CAB, waste of time and space. All the advice you need is here.

Thanks. It says Carparkers on the original paperwork I got via email

Thanks. On paperwork it says parking charge notice. I will wait to see if I get this letter then. I have no clue what the step is after that but will look online. Thanks

Ignore Car Parkers
Ignore any powerless debt collectors letters too
Come back to this thread if or when you receive a Letter of Claim giving you 30 days notice, probably from a law firm like Gladstones, or DCB Legal, or Moorside Legal, or B W Legal, or Oak Legal
And
Come back to this thread if or when you receive an N1SDT Money Claim pack from the CNBC in Northampton using MCOL
No need to look elsewhere, just here on MSE

Can't find any evidence of these people making a court claim.

As others have said don’t follow any advice from CAB as they are rubbish with these types of things
