CPM Parking Charge Notice while parked in own space.

[armadillo71]

Back in June I posted about a PCN I received from CPM while my car was parked in the space assigned to the flat I was renting at the time. The parking permit had slipped off. As advised I appealed to POPLA after my appeal to CPM was rejected.

 

The POPLA appeal was also refused, basically they said I had no appeal because the sign stated the permit had to be clearly displayed etc etc.

 

I do know that my appeal was very poorly worded. I know I should have brought in something about it being not a pre-estimate of loss for the landowner (since that was my landlord who was leasing the space to me), but I didn't, had no idea at the time that would be such an issue.

 

I've now moved and have not given either POPLA or CPM my new address. The POPLA letter was sent to the old one and redirected to me. It's dated the 15th August and I only got it today, asking me to pay £100 in 14 days.

 

The CPM website is full of apparently successful CCJS and stuff. I'm really not sure where to go from here since I messed up the popla appeal so badly. To add to the mess the car's now not registered to me (it's registered to my husband). I don't really want this to keep going on, especially as if they send me anything I'm unlikely to get it very speedily. There's a lot of advice to just ignore it from here on, but I have no idea if that's a good idea or not. :/ any help would be super appreciated!

 

Post #3 told you exactly what to put in your POPLA appeal.

 

You somehow acknowledged that that is what you needed and subsequently ignored it.

 

So you now want more advice after complicating the situation further...

 

You have two options;

 

1. Pay what is being asked of you as " I don't really want this to keep going on..... "

 

Or

 

2. Act on the advice given here.

 

Answer 1 or 2 and we might get somewhere.

Don't know how interested POPLA will be with it currently changing hands to the new operator...

 

Also CPMS Left the BPA on 29/04/2015 and are now members of the IPC AOS!
