Failure to provide a POPLA code

[smokiejoe]

Hi, where does a driver stand if they have appealed using the parking firms own process (which was turned down), which included a request for a POPLA code, but the POPLA reference was never provided?

If they refused to supplya popla code when they are members of the BPA, then they wouldnt be able to do anything. If they tried to go to court, the judge would be very curious to why they refused you the right to appeal.

[smokiejoe]

Yes, they are members of BPA. Just seems to be ignored and now been sent notice of intended court action! Is there any need to send a further request for the POPLA code to advise they have failed to provide it to date?

Who is the PPC concerned?

Just checked the site again as it has the BPA logo and claim to be a member. They say A S Parking is a trading name of Athens Security Services Ltd yet neither are listed on the BPA site that I can see. The DCA that sent the notice of intention letter is DRP, who is listed as an AOS on the BPA site!

Interestingly their website shows that they are members of both the BPA and the IPC, however they are only shown on the IPC register and not on the BPA one!

A PPC can be a member of the BPA, but not their AOS.

 

It is membership of an Accredited Trade Associations AOS that allows these [ problem ] access to our personal details.

 

The government is complicit in this via the DVLA....

 

It's all about the money, money , money...

So why was a NTD appealed?

 

What are the dates of NTD and subsequent NTK?

 

Very important regarding this company....

What exactly have you received and when. Who sent the letter of INTENDED court action as this phrase in meaningless. It sounds like the usual threatogram sent out by dca's who cannot actually do anything at all...ever.

[smokiejoe]

The appeal was submitted using their website appeal process following a NTK (didn't respond to any NTD), followed by a letter denying the appeal. There was no POPLA code at any time despite requesting one, and quite a bit of time has gone past (I'll check the dates and confirm). The latest letter was from Debt Recovery Plus Ltd also t/as Parking Collection Services.

[ericsbrother]

No POPLA code after 35 days of submitting your appeal to company and the keeper liability disappears.

That is why they have given the task of sending out letters to DR+. They are the parking industry's favourite threatogram writer and as said on hundreds of occasions before, they have no power to do anything at all. People often confuse the DCA's with bailiffs, they are not. Solicitors and bailiff companies also act as debt collectors but these bandits cant act as solicitors or bailiffs.
