Thank you for your correspondence in regards to the Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) as
mentioned above.
I have noted your comments, investigated your case and can confirm that I have cancelled
your PCN this is because the Civil Enforcement Officer (CEO) had issued the PCN under the
incorrect contravention code.
Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

POPLA assessment and decision
13/01/2026

Verification Code
5752755356

Decision
Successful
Assessor Name
Heidi Brown
Assessor summary of operator case
The operator has issued the Parking Charge Notice (PCN) as the motorist failed to make a valid payment.

Assessor summary of your case
- The appellant states the PCN fails to meet the requirements of the Protection of Freedoms Act (PoFA) 2012. - The appellant states a card payment was made at the machine, the funds were taken even though an error displayed. They state no receipt was provided but on the balance of probability, the payment was made. The appellant requests evidence of the payment logs. They state the operator confirms that the system will accept any VRM but this involves risk as a contravention can occur if the system does not check the VRM. - The appellant requests evidence of landowner authorisation. Upon reviewing the operator’s evidence, the appellant has reiterated their grounds. The appellant provided evidence of a payment.

Assessor supporting rational for decision
I am allowing this appeal, with my reasoning outlined below: When assessing an appeal, the burden of proof begins with the operator to evidence that the PCN has been issued correctly. - The appellant states a card payment was made at the machine, the funds were taken even though an error displayed. They state no receipt was provided but on the balance of probability, the payment was made. The appellant requests evidence of the payment logs. They state the operator confirms that the system will accept any VRM but this involves risk as a contravention can occur if the system does not check the VRM. Although I acknowledge the operator has provided a transaction record to show no payment against the vehicle registration in question, it has failed to provide evidence to show other payments were made against full and correct registration on this date. Due to this, I am unable to conclude that the fault did not lie with the payment system and I am not satisfied that the operator has sufficiently rebutted the appellant’s grounds. Accordingly, I must allow this appeal. I note the appellant has raised grounds of appeal and evidence, however I have not considered these, as they do not have any bearing on my decision.

A big, big thank you to b789 & InterCity125 :)

Dear ****** *****,

Traffic Management Act 2004

Thank you for your correspondence in regards to the PCN as mentioned above.

I must advise that it is the motorists responsibility to ensure that they display their Disabled
Blue Badge correctly at all times.

When your informal representation was rejected, our letter advised you how to make an
appeal to the independent adjudicator if you wanted to take the matter further. This can only
happen after the registered keeper of the vehicle receives the Notice to Owner (NtO). At that
stage the charge will be at the full amount of Ł110.00

You have now written again to the council and I regret that we cannot deal with further
correspondence at this stage. The Traffic Management Act 2004 lays down firm procedures
for processing parking penalties and if you wish to take the matter further you will need to
wait for the NtO which will be sent to you shortly if you are the registered keeper.

New data protection laws apply from 25 May 2018. To find out why the Council needs to

Private parking tickets / Re: MacDonald's Leytonstone PCN for leaving premises

The operator has contacted us and told us that they have withdrawn your appeal.

If you have already paid your parking charge, this is the reason your appeal will have been withdrawn. Unfortunately, you cannot pay your parking charge and appeal, which means that POPLA’s involvement in your appeal has ended. You will not be able to request a refund of the amount paid in order to resubmit your appeal to us.

If you have not paid your parking charge, the operator has reviewed your appeal and chosen to cancel the parking charge. As the operator has withdrawn your appeal, POPLA’s involvement has now ended and you do not need to take any further action.

Kind regards

POPLA Team

I haven’t had any results yet. I tried submitting the story to a major newspaper, but their process was complicated. I couldn’t get it through. Next, I’ll try a local paper. I’ll update the thread if anything comes of it.

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: PCN for Disabled Bay Outside My Home – Renewal Confusion
« on: November 10, 2025, 11:12:57 pm »
I was parked in the signed disabled bay outside my home. As the council requires a virtual BB permit when the hard copy is not displayed in these bays, the PCN appears to have been issued because my virtual permit was inactive.

I do have a valid Blue Badge, but it was not displayed correctly at the time. I now have a valid virtual BB permit, granted during the phone call (

).

I have taken stamfordman’s advice and replied to the council, stating that the PCN was issued for parking in the residence bay, NOT for the Disabled Bay.

Will let you know how they respond.
