Thank you. Can’t evidence it - son was sick and didn’t think we
would need to photograph this. Thank you

Thank you everyone for all your input - have submitted an
appeal. Fingers crossed. Will update this thread when I have a
response from POPLA - hopefully dismissing the parking charge.

Even if POPLA don't accept your appeal, their decision is not
binding on you and has no bearing on anything going forwards. As
I already stated, no one who is here receiving advice pays a
penny to Smart.

What is likely to happen if I just ignore the fine post popla
appeal assuming it doesn’t go my way?

What "fine"?
Do you mean the speculative invoice you received from an
unregulated private parking company for a supposed debt you owe
due to an alleged breach of contract by the driver?
If you are unsuccessful at POPLA, you get on with your life. You
ignore the useless debt collector letters they will send your
way because debt collectors are powerless to actually do
anything. They are not a party to the contract allegedly
breached by the driver. You ignore the debt collector letters.
Nothing will happen because of them.
Eventually, (not so) Smart may get the equally incompetent DCB
Legal to send you a Letter of Claim (LoC) followed by an actual
N1SDT Claim Form from the CNCB. You defend the claim and many
months down the line, they will discontinue before they have to
pay the hearing fee.
They go all the way in the hope that you are gullible enough to
capitulate once they try litigation in the hope you will pay up
out of ignorance and fear.
We advise throughout the process.

Hi All - just an update post my POPLA appeal.
Dear Mrs NL,
The operator has contacted us and told us that they have
withdrawn your appeal.
If you have already paid your parking charge, this is the reason
your appeal will have been withdrawn. Unfortunately, you cannot
pay your parking charge and appeal, which means that POPLA’s
involvement in your appeal has ended. You will not be able to
request a refund of the amount paid in order to resubmit your
appeal to us.
If you have not paid your parking charge, the operator has
reviewed your appeal and chosen to cancel the parking charge. As
the operator has withdrawn your appeal, POPLA’s involvement has
now ended and you do not need to take any further action.
Kind regards
POPLA Team
Thank you for all your help in resolving this all.
