This can been clearly seen from my POPLA cases, where the PPC has *never* stated their case but instead preferred to rant and rave. The assessor will then pick through the documents submitted by the PPC and make the best case they can from them.<br /><br />This does not work the other way round. If the motorist does not clearly state a point in their case then the assessor will not pick through the available evidence and add these points to their side of the case.<br /><br />I have complained to the Lead Adjudicator about this several times, with no response.Parking Pranksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15270922602703929291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050188067980163727.post-29719854193225480032013-09-15T05:34:28.683-07:002013-09-15T05:34:28.683-07:00One thing I don't understand - you mentioned i...One thing I don't understand - you mentioned in your first letter to the PPC that you did not stay there for the full length and that this is the reason why you appeal. Why has POPLA not taken this reason to allow the charge? Clearly the assessor hasn't read the case bundle properly, as the PPC would have provided a copy of your initial letter, thus POPLA would have had this information. So I would also complain to the Lead Adjudicator stating that you have initially appealed due to double dipping and the PPC has not even bothered to argue with this, but that the Assessor has not considered this at all. That way, at least the decision may be overturned for the statistics?cjdenverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04812650106818623551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050188067980163727.post-7096208490405783822013-09-14T08:59:22.786-07:002013-09-14T08:59:22.786-07:00Claiming to comply with the Code of Practice of a ...Claiming to comply with the Code of Practice of a Trade Association while failing to do so contravenes the Consumer Protection Unfair Trading Regulations and should be reported to Trading Standards.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451084985837644348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050188067980163727.post-86963204987443678582013-09-14T01:34:58.132-07:002013-09-14T01:34:58.132-07:00Back in the old days we would have put a couple of...Back in the old days we would have put a couple of coats 12 feet apart at one end of the car park and settled our differences with a penalty shoot-out.
