I've asked for a POPLA code and they replied - POPLA code will be provided should we formally reject your appeal. You will hear from us. I'm confused, haven't they already done so when they wrote to me that after they've reviewed the evidence, they concluded that the notice was issued correctly? So I have no code and another week is gone.

They've replied to my email by post and I've the letter, so I guess they cannot deny it. I will ask them for POPLA code.

I've stated my email clearly as appeal in the subject and wrote to their appeals email address ([email protected]). Should I write again and ask for POPLA code or wait for 28 days as I've been advised above. Thank you all very much for help. BTW since then they've changed the appeal process to an online form, where you must fill all your personal data including phone number in order to be able to submit an appeal.

Thanks for reply.

Yes, the letter is dated 10/03 but was posted only 11/3 at 7:29pm.

Dear forum community, I've parked my car on Sat 1/3 at Perranporth (Cornwall) car park. This car park is operated during the summer season by the man collecting the money at the entrance. During the the rest of the year it was always free for the last 8 years (2006 I've moved to Cornwall). So acting on experience and being surprised by the very nice weather after a while I parked my car and left for the beach walk. When I came back I've found Parking Charge Notice on my window. I looked around and yes there were couple of Pay&Display machines and notices I didn't see, because I wasn't expecting them. Ok, my mistake I said, but the the real shock came when I've seen the amount they've been asking to pay £100 reduced to £60 if you pay within 14 days + All card and online payments are subject to an additional £3.00 administration charge. £103 for what??? I wrote to them, providing all my details (probably mistake) and explained the situation that I was acting with no malice or prejudice and offered £25 (10X parking fee) as a retrospective honesty payment and I sent the money. on 10/3 they declined my appeal and refunded me, but as a GESTURE OF GOOD WILL they placed this "PARKING CHARGE" on hold for 14 days to submit additional evidence. There's no additional evidence. I've made an honest mistake and was willing to compensate, but £63 resp. £103 and after 28 days £150 plus court costs is an awful lot! What can I do? they didn't provide any verification number for appeal at POPLA. Should I pay £63 or is there anything else I can do? Please help!
