  • Formal Dispute with Parking Company rather than Appeal

    Good afternoon,

    I went on holiday for 3 weeks and came back to a Notice to Keeper from Premier Park Ltd. They must have printed the notice up earlier than they posted it because it was 4 weeks old but with no post mark date.

    I appealed but they have said it is out of the 28 days is now passed. They are a member of the BPA, so 2nd appeal would have been POPLA.

    OK so they are refusing my appeal to them so therefore will not give me a POPLA code, even though they know the situation as details above, but I also know that the "Appeals" process isn't really an Appeal to me as it relates to requesting a higher authority re-look at the case (as in appealing to a higher court), it's simply a procedure laid out by their of their internal trade body.

    I've had some experience of formally Disputing contracts and charges with companies so as far as I can see this is no different. MAkes no difference that they 28 days is past, I can still formally dispute it in legiitimate ground and request all the evicence, etc. as any other dispute would go.

    I'm presuming based on my past appeals to parking other parking companies that they will be arrogant enough to just dismiss my dispute as a pleb who doesn;t know anything, but it will mean something if they file in the courts and have refused to talk to me on a resonable basis.

    Plus if they send my details over to a debt collector i'm sure i'll have a data protection claim because they refused to talk to me about the dispuite.

    Has anyone had any experience on this?

    Appealing is a waste of time, but worse they normally require you to identify the driver which you should not do as it gives away valuable legal protections.
    All opinions expressed are based on my personal experience. I am not a lawyer and do not hold any legal qualifications.

      POPLA surprisingly finds in favour of the appellant in over 40% of cases.
      I think a lot depends on the adjudicator.

      You appealed to Premier, but not accepted... but the chances are it would not have been upheld anyway.

      What was the basis of your appeal, and did you identify the driver?

      Not sure what you mean by "formally dispute", but I doubt it will go anywhere and refusing to discuss with you might not be considered sufficiently unreasonable behaviour to have any effect on the question of costs
