Is this worth appealing or just paying? Please help

However, when it comes to giving a reason to popla, how is it for example possible to say no contract with the owner was shown, when I hadn't even asked for it?

You're not dealing with POPLA yet. In your POPLA You ask for any and every bit of PROOF you require (whether you get it or not is another matter). When you eventually come to Your POPLA appeal, the reason you use is 'Other'.

Also, can someone confirm that this NTK doesn't fall foul of the 14 day rule (it Is 15 days, but the rule only applies under certain circumstances, which I cant seem to understand.

Nothing datewise totally invalidates the PCN. If the PPC is using ANPR or camera capture and they wish to invoke Keeper Liability under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, the Notice to Keeper must be 'given' (received by the registered keeper) by the 14th day commencing on the day following the parking event. So parking event date is a Day 0, the following day is Day 1. Count from there.

If they are not seeking KL, they can serve the notice at any time up to and including the date on which their access to the DVLA database expires for the specific parking event - 6 months.

Yes, the PCN was delivered outside of the relevant period for the PPC to be able to use Schedule 4 of POFA to claim unpaid parking charges from the keeper.

• Date of parking event: Tuesday 17 July 2108
  
• Relevant period: 14 days from Wednesday 18 July - Tuesday 31 July 2018 inclusive
  
• Date PCN posted: Wednesday 1 August 2018
  
• Date PCN deemed delivered: Friday 3 August 2018 = outside of the relevant period

So long as the driver is not revealed, even the weakest POPLA assessor should understand that this PCN does not comply with POFA.

Keep all this for POPLA - no matter what you put to the PPC, the outcome will be a rejection by them. There is no income from upheld appeals.

Parking Control Solutions are a tiny outfit and unlikely to have (or be able to commit) the resource to successfully defeat a strong and lengthy POPLA appeal. Do your research in the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post #3 to start your initial thinking on developing your appeal once you get your POPLA Code.

Just looking at the NtK - Reason for issue 'NO PARKING OR WAITING AT ANY TIME'. So no contract to park is offered, therefore this is either a Penalty (no private company can penalise any one) or alternatively a trespass has occurred and the remedy for that lies exclusively with the landowner, not the PPC (as confirmed by The Supreme Court in ParkingEye v Beavis). Do some research on this because this can be a major POPLA appeal point - maybe sufficient a strong point to put PCS off paying their POPLA fee to contest.

Thanks guys I'm just writing up my responses to both.... Shall I leave the one to the ppc very blank, like the template, without listing where I think I've got them by the b###s just to get the popla code, or should I put some of stuff in that popla will get, in hope that all the points mentioned to them will just make them cancel it

Did you misunderstand what I advised?
