UKPC - rejection of appeal - ? appeal to POPLA - advice please

[Zori]

UKPC - PNC incurred 9.12.16 on retail park for "not parking correctly within the markings of the bay or space". This is not a pay and display site. I wrote to UKPC on 15th Dec 'without prejudice' stating I would not pay this invoice because of inadequate signage - signage on entrance merely stated no parking on match days (it was not a match day), the nearest mounted sign displaying T&Cs was about 50 yds away turned away from entrance, clearer sign near to turned away sign merely stated '2 hour maximum stay.' I only shopped for approx 15 mins and have the receipt to show I did give the stores some custom.

I parked at the entrance to the car park - this is at least 3 cars in width - hence no obstruction to motorists. There are no markings on the wall or ground to state I am unable to park there.

I have argued that as the T&Cs are not clearly and visibly displayed at the entrance, I did not enter into a contract with UKPC and therefore not agreed to their terms. I also argued that the amount claimed £60 (early payment) or £100 in the invoice is completely disproportionate and not a pre-estimate of loss - this is a free car park!.

I received a Notice to Keeper on the 12.01.17
3.2.17 - sent copy of my 15th Dec letter and stated I had received no reply to that letter.
27.01.17 - Final reminder from UKPC (letters crossed in post)
31.1.17 - UKPC rejects appeal
17.02.17 - UKPC reminds me of the rejected appeal and states "UKPC regularly takes motorists to court who ignore their parking charges."

Please advise - should I appeal to POPLA and if so can anyone, PLEASE, advise regarding content.

I have photos to support my assertion re: inadequate signage.

I wonder if the Mystery VIP member can help. He/she seems to have helped so many people.

I'm so worried but want to take a stand as I believe I have a case to argue.

PLEASE ASSIST if you are able.

Thank you so very much.

Post up the PCN, Appeal and signs if you have them or can get them. (suitably sanitised).

So sorry - not too proficient with this - how do I delete personal details i.e. registration mark? Have it on desktop but won't allow me to delete. Sorry for being so thick (blame it on age).

Thanks for responding.
