       Driver left vehicle charging but did not notice the sign only
       allowing for 60 minutes parking, driver appealed the charge
       using a template on another ECP thread on the forums, for not
       being fully compliant to PoFa 2012, now the appeal has been
       rejected and POPLA code issued, where to go from here as I have
       never appealed with POPLA before. Rejection letter has been
       attached. Thank you!

       Doesn't matter. POPLA is unlikely to uphold an appeal either.
       However, a POPLA decision is not binding on the appellant.
       Should your POPLA appeal be unsuccessful, then you will not be
       paying a penny to ECP if you follow the advice. Whilst there are
       probably good reasons for the drivers mistake in not realising
       the time limit on EV charging as ECP signs are not very good,
       this will still most likely go to a court claim down the line.
       The modus operandi is well known to us and I can guarantee that
       as long as the claim is defenced, it will eventually be
       discontinued if not struck out first. They are hoping you are
       low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree who will pay up out of
       ignorance and fear.
       For now, you can search the forum for recent POPLA appeals to
       get a feel for how they are structured and what points to put in
       them. When you have something, post it here and we will advise
       on whether it is suitable or needs any refinement before you
       send it. You have 33 days from the date of the appeal rejection
       to submit the POPLA appeal.
       So, no rush and don't pin your hopes on POPLA. No one pays ECP
       if they follow the advice.
