Thank you for the advice. Does this sound OK for my complaint for not being offered a chance to appeal to POPLA?
Anything I should add?
You also asked I show you the Notice to Keeper document. In my original appeal I did identify as the driver. I have also included the image of the signage facing away from my direction of travel:

Dear Sir/Madam
I would like to make a complaint regarding the above reference number. Your original letter stated that I could contest this charge and if rejected I could then I appeal to POPLA. I appealed this charge on 10/8/24. I have not received any notification to inform me of the outcome of my appeal. Instead, I have received a letter from DCBL (reference 7241607) which is a notice of debt recovery. By doing this you have denied me the opportunity to appeal through POPLA. If this is not resolved I will escalate to the British Parking Association as I fully intended to have my case heard by POPLA and in court if necessary. Can you please ensure any further correspondence is sent recorded delivery to ensure I receive it and can respond in a timely manner.
Regards
