Hi everyone,
I need some help with a POPLA appeal for "Double Dipping".
I'm in the middle of disputing a Smart Parking PCN for 2 separate visits in 1 day. Looking online, I can see that Smart Parking are well known for this scam.
The PCN shows the vehicle entering the beach at 10:21AM, and leaving at 15:31 in the afternoon (via ANPR images)
for a total of 309 minutes (just over 5hrs) without a valid ticket.
ON THE EXACT DATE at around 11AM, I was 15 miles away shopping in Truro. I left the supermarket in Truro at 12:20 lunch time.
Later that day at 14:34 in the afternoon, I was fueling at the Morrison's Petrol forecourt which is just over 2 Miles away from Fistral Beach.
My name is not David Copperfield and I don't possess the ability to be in two places at the same time.
I have contacted Barclays Bank, and they have provided me with a letter that confirms and time stamps both of the transactions above.
On the other hand, Smart Parking/ Fistral Beach have not provided any evidence of the vehicle being parked on the property.
As I say, I only have an entry and exit picture from the ANPR.
How do they have this? I have no idea. Maybe I was dropping off / collecting on that day, maybe I was just passing by. I certainly wasn't parked.
As a local resident in the area, I visit Fistral Beach very frequently.
It makes me nervous thinking that each time I visit the premises, I run the risk of another PCN showing up on my doorstep.
I have contacted Jon Briant from Britanic Industries, the company responsible for managing the Fistral Beach complex and Parking.
Jon Briant said he would investigate, but has done absolutely nothing in regards to this matter, and has decided to ignore any further attempts to resolve the issue amicably.
Smart Parking surprisingly denied my appeal.
I have a POPLA ref number. Can you guys help me draft a strong appeal? or point me in the right direction?
I would like to add more than just the obvious Barclays Bank Statement to the appeal.
Thanks,
Harry
P.S. Do you guys recall any court cases where the defendant proved the ANPR evidence wrong?
