    POPLA website probably tells you in the FAQS, that the operator has 21 days (ish).
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    ."..Now, of course CEL has not accepted my appeal. So I’m at POPLA stage".


    I just received my POPLA reply today telling me I was unsuccessful but now I have to pay £100 instead of the reduced £60?! That can't be right?
    Surely I have the right to question these extortianate charges without the full penalty amount applying?


    I actually had an email from KFC that stated "This operation has been put in place to deter non-KFC customers from parking there and forcing restaurant users to find an alternative"
    I was a patron and provided receipt proof that I was a KFC customer - still didn't matter.

    You do not have to pay £100. Who told you that?

    Hi all,

    very happy to say my appeal has been successful and CEL has not tried to provide evidence.

    many thanks for your help and hopefully this can be useful to future victims of CEL, even in case where driver was identified

    cheers

    Best,

    Another ‘run away’ from CEL when faced with dealing with the truth.

    Well done. :T
    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.

    well done ..... you can still help the cause .....

    this is a copy of a post by Bargepole ....

    "Some action at last:

    http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2017-19/parkingcodeofpractice.html

    This Private Member's Bill has Government and cross-party support, and stands a good chance of making it into statute.

    The full text of the clauses will be published nearer the date of the second reading, but my sources tell me it's something we should support.

    Now would be a good time to write to your MP urging them to support it."
