  • Agreed. In total, I bet I've racked up 10 hours over initial appeal, researching, collecting evidence, preparing POPLA appeal etc - in purely monetary terms, it would have been more cost effective to just pay. I guess that's all part of the scam.

    I don't disagree - I often speak to people who consider their time more important than the £100 charge, especially if it takes a couple of hours work to resolve.

    Granted, it's part of my paid job to deal with these and I have a library of templates to call on, but I certainly can see why somebody who earns £3-400 a day self employed considers their time is better spent earning than appealing.

    But it's akin to throwing a chip to a seagull - it only encourages them to pester other people for more chips.

    I think seagulls are regarded as vermin. :)
    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've had my decision from POPLA - PP decided not to contest the appeal :)
    Best of luck with yours too.

    I think BPA need to take a closer look at this one if they are routinely not contesting appeals.

    They don't usually not contest appeals, they seem to win a silly amount of them.

    I reckon in this case they had to give up, due to not being able to rebut the assertion that they have no evidence that the driver left the site.

  • I was interested in reading all your submissions regarding Markham Retail Car Park as I too received a PCN 9 February 2018 having parked there previous Sunday 3 February 2018 and charged for allegingly leaving the site. I am in the delema of knowing whether to pay this charge or having read all your documentation to contest it, I’m not sure where to start or if I want all the stress, but why should these people be allowed to get away with these parking notices.
