The reminder letter does not change the POPLA deadline and does
not cancel the right to use the POPLA code.
The POPLA code is valid for 33 days from the date of the
rejection letter: 28 days POPLA validity plus 5 days assumed for
service. So if the rejection letter is dated 17/11/2025, the
code remains usable up to and including 20/12/2025. That is
completely separate from whatever “pay within 14 days” wording
appears on later reminders.
What CUP are doing in that reminder is just restarting their
internal chase process once, in their view, 29 days have passed
since the original notice. The phrases about “full payment
required within 14 days to avoid further action” are standard
debt-chasing language. They are not a legal cut-off and they do
not remove or shorten your POPLA rights.
Under the Private Parking Single Code of Practice, once you
lodge a POPLA appeal the operator must put recovery activity on
hold while the appeal is being considered. They are not supposed
to continue, start, or restart debt recovery or litigation while
an independent appeal is outstanding. If a POPLA appeal is
upheld, they must cancel the charge and cannot pursue it
further.
So:
[indent]1. The reminder letter does not stop you appealing to
POPLA. You still have the full 33 days from the rejection date
to use the POPLA code.
2. The “further action in 14 days” is just a threat that they
may escalate to debt collection or consider court, but that is
stayed once a POPLA appeal is actually lodged.
3. Priority now is to get the POPLA appeal drafted and submitted
before the 33-day deadline. If they or any debt collector chase
you after you have submitted the POPLA appeal, that would be
contrary to the PPSCoP and you can then complain.[/indent]

Just do a search of the forum for some recent POPLA appeals and
put one together yourself. Just show it to us here before you
submit anything so we can advise on any changes that may be
necessary.

What am i selecting as my appeal on popla?
If its the "i was not the driver of the car, Popla want evidence
of that.
See appeal below.
I am the keeper of the vehicle and I dispute your 'parking
charge'. I deny any liability or contractual agreement and I
will be making a complaint about your predatory conduct to your
client landowner.
As your Notice to Keeper (NtK) does not fully comply with ALL
the requirements of PoFA 2012, you are unable to hold the keeper
of the vehicle liable for the charge. Partial or even
substantial compliance is not sufficient. There will be no
admission as to who was driving and no inference or assumptions
can be drawn. UKPC has relied on contract law allegations of
breach against the driver only.
The registered keeper cannot be presumed or inferred to have
been the driver, nor pursued under some twisted interpretation
of the law of agency. Your NtK can only hold the driver liable.
UKPC have no hope at POPLA, so you are urged to save us both a
complete waste of time and cancel the PCN.

There is absolutely NO legal obligation on a Keeper to identify
the driver. No one has told you to lie about anything, so stop
getting your knickers in a twist!
All you need to select is either that you are the Keeper or
"Other". As the Keeper you are only referring to the driver,
irrespective of who it was, in the third person. You do not use
silly statements along the lines of "I did this or that", only
"the driver did this or that". "Don't tell 'em your name Pike!"
Also, what you have provided as your appeal is just a repeat of
the initial appeal. Who told you to use that?
Go search the forum for some recent POPLA appeals to get a
flavour of how to put one together. Show it to us here before
you submit anything do we can check it for any errors etc.

I think i used this statment.
Dear CUP Enforcement,
I have received your Parking Charge Notice (Ref: ________) for
vehicle registration mark ____ ___, in which you allege that the
driver has incurred a parking charge. I note from your
correspondence that you are not seeking to hold me liable as the
registered keeper, under Schedule 4 of the Protection of
Freedoms Act 2012 ("The Act"). You have chosen not to issue a
Notice to Keeper in accordance with The Act, and it is now too
late for you to do so.
There is no obligation for me to name the driver and I will not
be doing so. I am therefore unable to help you further with this
matter, and look forward to your confirmation that the charge
has been cancelled. If you choose to decline this appeal, you
must issue a POPLA code.
Thanks.
