I can’t seem to access the photos they posted on the POPLA APPEAL. should these be able to be accessed?

They do have signs up dotted around the car park but I had parked very close to an adjoining car park that accepts MI PERMIT payment. It is easy to be confused by this because I know it’s happened before because I’ve seen it online. Surely because I thought I was complying and showed them my invoice of payment there should be some leniency?

I can get pics via google earth but I can’t upload them here apparently.

Have you got or can get your own photos of the signage?

If you've been through POPLA and been rejected theres not much more you can do now, ball is in the  PPCs court. Expect debt collectors letters, they can be ignored, but you can't ignore a letter of claim. When you get that you need to come back here posting the original PCN and the LoC so appropriate advice can be given. If you engage attract point its likely to be dropped, if you don't you could end up with a CCJ.

Hi guys, first time posting. I paid for 4 hrs (only stayed for 1)using MI PERMIT app but it was for the wrong car park around 10 meters from where my car was parked. The sign on entry can’t be seen by driver because it’s on the passenger side on a left hand turn and I parked between signs because the stairs leading out onto main road were right next to my car. I used MI PERMIT app and I saw a P sign right by me so I thought it was good, I paid and me and 2 daughters walked straight out onto main road. Basically I paid wrong person, I complained about signs and sent invoice of payment which they refused. POPLA acknowledged my complaint but dismissed it because there are signs around the car park. I have now received debt collector letters. POPLA posted the companies reply with interesting pictures of where signs are and where I parked but I can’t access these anymore on POPLA site.
I have seen on Facebook that the exact same thing has happened to others and no doubt will happen again. I have photos of POPLA reply, initial letter and debt collector letters but am unsure if needed and cannot add them here apparently.
please ask for further info if needed, any advice would be great.
