    No mention of using Smart Parking on here. Says it is all in house with the university's Credit Control Team doing the debt recovery.

    I also note the original ticket is apparently just £35, seems very low for a private parking company to get involved.

    Thanks for the responses.

    Coupon- mad, I've been interested to see your points about ANPR & ICO & think this may be relevant when I have to go to POPLA. The car park is not constantly monitored but I believe handheld ANPR cameras were used for enforcement to check for virtual parking permits, yet there is no mention at all on any signage. May I ask whether you will be adding to the NEWBIES thread with a template on this point at all, as I think that might be really helpful?

    Thanks again to all

    Had an interesting result from POPLA, stated that the appeal was unsuccessful, however on reading the assessor's decision they stated that they were allowing the appeal as they weren't satisfied that the appellant was the driver & no attempt to use POFA 2012 by the university

    You need to write to POPLA to get them to clarify this. You're punching the air because of the statement towards the end of the POPLA assessment; it's quite possible that the Uni might just read the first line 'Unsuccessful' and might be punching the air too!

    You need clarity. Otherwise this might run on a bit further.

    Have now received written confirmation that the appeal was allowed which is great news. In the end I did not raise no keeper liability in the POPLA appeal due to concerns about the permit system, although I did raise plenty of other grounds, basically picked up every little aspect where the university had not complied with the BPA code of practice. However the university had not served a notice to keeper & the assessor picked that up herself & allowed the appeal as no evidence that the driver had been identified sufficiently.
    Thanks once again to all for the wise advice received.

    Hooray, well done!

    Have you copied the decision (adding paragraph gaps...!) into the 'POPLA Decisions' top sticky thread, with a link back to this thread and saying which PPC you beat?
