Parking Eye - POPLA appeal

[GeordieDeb]

Hi,

I am new to here so bear with me. I have recently received a parking eye fine in a Home Bargains car park for parking for 14 minutes over the allowed 1 hr 30 minute time. I appealed writing:

Dear Sirs

I am writing to you regarding parking charge xxxxxxxxxxx issued to vehicle xxxx xxx on xx/xx/2014, your charge is punitive and unenforceable. I require you to either cancel the charge forthwith or provide me with a popla code so that I can refer the matter to popla.

Yours faithfully

I attached my receipt from the store which showed I had spent £84.52 in store, although this receipt shows a time of 11:38 and I was parked until 12:48. I have now received a POPLA code and need help to appeal.

However my mam also received a letter for parking 30 minutes over the allowed 1 hr 30 mins one week after me and I sent the exact same appeal for her attaching her receipt of £91 and they have cancelled her parking fine.

Should I mention this in my appeal. I have also written a complaint to Home bargains can they do anything to help me? I am absolutely raging that I have been fined when I was a genuine shopper to Home Bargains.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

GeordieDeb

Edit http://www.legalbeagles.info/forums/...-Appeal-Letter to suit. Add in about the payment if you want but as far as popla goes it matters about as much as my shoe size.

Re: Parking Eye - POPLA appeal

My point here was that my mam stayed 30 minutes over the 1 hr 30 mins time allowed and I stayed only 14 mins over. Her fine has been cancelled and I have a POPLA form to appeal. Should they not use the same reasoning for all parking charges. Both myself and my mam were genuine shoppers to the store spending quite a lot of money. How can they get away with cancelling some charges and not others in very similar circumstances?? Is there any legal route I can go down here??

Go to popla as i said and you'll win. What happened to anyone else or even you if you had 2 tickets means diddly squat.
