Hi All
I hope you all had a pleasant bank holiday weekend
I would appreciate some advice if possible! Last year I was unlucky enough to receive a PCN from CEL for a silly T&C clause of not paying for my parking within 10 minutes of arriving at the car park (I needed to get change and actually paid for more time than I actually stayed in total). Well naturally, from the advice of this forum and the wonderful @mystery1, I disputed the PCN, CEL rejected it of course, and I then submitted my appeal to POPLA. This was all around June last year and it was around the time that POPLA changed managing companies.
The last correspondence I had was from CEL acknowledging that my appeal was with POPLA and that all correspondence should now made through POPLA until the decision on the appeal was concluded by them. I received a couple of letters from POPLA informing me of when my case would be heard the last being stated as the 19th of November, which has been and gone with no word.
Well I haven't heard a thing since. Nothing from CEL or POPLA!!
Now is this something that will come back to haunt me in many years when POPLA or CEL audit their records or do I have an added defence that if I don't hear anything from either party for a fixed period of time the PCN will automatically become null and void anyway?
I am of course reluctant to chase / call either company when I have heard nothing, but equally I am the kind of individual which doesn't like not to have a conclusive resolve to a situation like this (its a problem I know ... I am seeking counselling lol)
Any factual advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you
Cheers
Damian
