  • Appeal to POPLA? please help - won

    Hi everyone,

    The Astle retail park,West Bromwich , Birmingham used to be a barrier controlled car park, until recently when, apparently they are under new ownership and installed an ANPR system. However, in this case, the driver went at night and the barrier was up, which is very easy to assume that there is no parking charge after a certain hour, otherwise, why would it be lifted? The signs were not very clear either to say that this is a ANPR system monitored car park and being dark, it is easy to miss it. To cut the story short, the driver received 3 PCNs within few days. The driver appealed against it, but after considering the appeal, they decided to uphold the PCNs and an outstanding amount of £300. With that appeal, the keeper admitted he/she was also the driver. This seems not fair to keep the barrier up, when during the day time it was down and spat a ticket, and then install the automatic number plate recognition system without any proper warning. The driver parked at night just in front of the gym. The gym sent an email to the members on the 13/9/16 to inform them about the new ownership and new system, and the PCNs are dated 30/8, 02/09 and 06/09.

    My question is, does it worth appealing to POPLA , or they will be as inconsiderate as the Smart Parking Limited.
    I understand that there were many people in a similar case, because of this misunderstanding with the barrier up and new system in place, but not sure how they managed it.

    Any advice will be appreciated.


    Thank you,

    Check your due dates.

    Can you get pics of the signs, i assume they are not lit ? Do you pass the sign or Anpr camera 1st ?

    Can you sanitise and post the appeal(s) ? You have 3 popla codes ?

      Hi,

      Due dates for all 3 of them is Fri 11th Nov 2016.
      I am abroad at this moment and can't take pics of the signs, but I assume after almost 2 months now, they have everything in place, just like the mentioned in the appeal letter. At the time of contravention, I can't say how well lit the signs were. The letters came through the door addressed to the keeper and the big mistake was, that in the appeal, 'I' was used , rather than 'the driver' did so and so...
      There are 3 POPLA codes and all 3 appeal letters look the same.

      Thank you,
      A

          Thank you,

              Himm, I attached the PCNs in my first thread, but they are PDFs, because of the size I had to convert them.
              But I am attaching them again as jpegs one by one. I hope it works.
              thank you

                  Edit to suit. I have left keeper liability in as i've not seen what you think is an admission. Even then they may not realise.

                  AncaMpopla.rtf follow the instructions at http://parking-prankster.blogspot.co...a-process.html to upload.

                  One time per ticket.

                          Complain to them and aos@britishparking.co.uk

                          They should not be hassling you whilst a popla appeal is pending.

                              Did they fold or did you win for a reason ?
