Yes
It would say that it was and it would give you 30 days to pay if
it were.

We received a rejection letter to our appeal and they provided a
POPLA reference. Here is what they said:
Dear Mr ,
Thank you for your recent communication concerning parking
charge reference 3087153261105.
We have carefully considered your appeal based on the
information provided and the evidence supporting the parking
charge. In this instance having
completed our assessment, we consider the parking charge to have
been correctly issued, as the occupant left site whilst the
vehicle remained parked on
site
Our appeals process is now concluded, you may now choose one of
the following options:
1) Pay the parking charge detailed above at the rate of £60.00
to UK Parking Control Ltd. PLEASE REFER OVERLEAF FOR PAYMENT
OPTIONS AND
ADDRESS DETAILS.
2) Make an appeal to the independent adjudicator POPLA (Parking
on Private Land Appeals) using the verification code provided
above. Please note that if
you wish to appeal to POPLA, you will lose the right to pay the
discounted rate of £60.00 even if you are within the timeframe,
and should POPLA reject
your appeal you will be required to pay the full amount of
£100.00. If you opt to pay the parking charge you will be unable
to appeal with POPLA. Appeals
to POPLA must be made within twenty-eight days from the date of
this letter. To appeal with POPLA, please visit www.popla.co.uk.
If you are unable to
access the internet, you may appeal by post – this must be done
using a POPLA postal form which may be obtained by contacting
POPLA by phone (0330
159 6126) or post (PO Box 1270, Warrington, WA4 9RL).
By law we are also required to inform you that Ombudsman
Services (www.ombudsman-services.org/) provides an alternative
dispute resolution service
that would be competent to deal with your appeal. However, we
have not chosen to participate in their alternative dispute
resolution service. As such
should you wish to appeal then you must do so to POPLA, as
explained above.
3) If you choose to do nothing, the parking charge will
automatically increase after thirty-five days from the date of
this letter and the matter will be passed
to our debt resolution partner, at which point you will be
liable to pay an additional charge of £70, in accordance with
the terms and conditions of parking.
Further charges will be claimed if court action is taken against
you, any unpaid court judgement may adversely affect your credit
rating.
Yours sincerely,
Appeals Department
UK Parking Control Limited

When was this received?
Is the POPLA Code still live?

still live?

When was rejection letter received?
Yes, you could try starting the appeal process to see if the
code works.

The rejection letter was posted above, I think (Reply #9), dated
7 January 2026, so its POPLA code will no longer be usable,
being valid for something like 33 days from the date of the
letter.
If this is the letter referred to in Reply #21, that is.

I'd confused myself because of how long its all taken. That
letter I saw previously and did reply upon earlier advice in the
forum. I was waiting on a NTK.
Last week it seems we received a NTK. I hadn't seen it myself
but my wife opened it and our young daughter seems to have
misplaced it! Pretty sure it was for this PCN but I can't be
certain.
Do you think it would be okay to write to the parking company or
solicitor acting on their behalf? I'd ask for a copy of their
latest letter (assuming it was from them)

I think you’ve also confused us, so I suggest you give us a
clear timeline of what you have received and when. If you
received a Notice to Keeper in December, it’s unlikely you
received one last week as well.
If you don’t have stuff, you should send a Subject Access
Request to the relevant party (the parking company for the NtK).
If you can’t get your facts in order for us here, it’s unlikely
you will be able to make a good defence to any court claim.

Early Dec 2025: NTK
Mid Dec: Replied as per B789 suggested letter
19th Dec: They replied asking for the drivers details
~20th Dec: Replied with suggested 2nd letter from B789
7th Jan: UKPC rejected appeal and provided a POPLA Ref(didn't
see this letter till much much later - it went into my junk
folder)
12th Feb: Letter from ZZPS requesting outstanding balance
17th April: Letter from QDR Solicitors requesting payment
So upon the advice of jfellows I was waiting on the "Letter of
Claim"
One may have been posted to us a week or so ago, but since my
daughter misplaced it, I can't be sure. Is there an issue with
me picking up the phone and asking for a copy? I worry that a
SAR willtake weeks and weeks.

They normally reply to SAR requests very quickly - I'm guessing
because a percentage of people pay up once they see all the
'evidence'.
