Hello there. Thank you for your advice so far, unfortunately I
received a response from POPLA saying that my appeal has been
rejected. I have attached the response below. What would be your
advice please?

There is no need to redact the assessors name. It is in the
public domain and we like to keep a record of which ones ought
to be let go because of their utter stupidity and ignorance.
POPLA’s response is a masterclass in procedural laziness and
statutory illiteracy. The assessor has rubber-stamped the
operator’s assertions without applying even the most basic
scrutiny to PoFA’s mandatory language or the evidential burden
required under the PPSCoP.
Their grasp of “period of parking” is laughable—treating two
timestamps a second apart as compliance is not interpretation,
it’s intellectual malnourishment. The decision can be safely
ignored as it carries no legal weight, is not binding on you and
merely confirms that POPLA remains a box-ticking exercise
staffed by clipboard-wielding amateurs.
I would suggest a complaint to POPLA but that is also an
exercise in futility because they are not answerable to anyone
and even if they admit they are wrong, they will never reverse a
decision.
FOr now, you can safely ignore all debt recovery letters that
will start coming. Debt collectors are powerless and they can
only try to persuade the low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree
to pay up out of ignorance and fear.
Come back when you receive a Letter of Claim (LoC).

You'll find the debt collectors letters get increasingly
threatening but laughable. If they're anything like some my
partner's recently received threatening that they MAY do this or
MAY do that. Their client MAY wish to take further action. They
never WILL do much more except send more letters then hopefully
give up.

The other issue I have is that I will not be receiving any more
mails as I am relocating to another county. This is being
addressed to my previous address and not my current one, I can
only redirect mails from current address to my new address
therefore I will be not be able to receive any mails sent to me.
Thank you so much for your support and guidance, much
appreciated.
