Free Traffic Legal Advice

You might be struggling for space when submitting but I would stick the S69 of CRA in a separate paragraph and, once again, give a brief comment that the term 'Max Stay 3 Hours' is being reasonably interpreted by yourself to mean '3 hours parking' and not '3 hours onsite' and that the principle of contra proferentum must be applied in this instance.


I think your evidence is more than enough to win but POPLA have been very unpredictable lately.

If you lose at POPLA, they'll engage debt collectors. These debt collectors are powerless and will simply send scary-sounding letters. They will not be turning up at your house and you can ignore their letters.

Eventually, the debt collectors will get bored and pass the matter back to the parking company. The parking company may then choose to take court action. If they do, you'll receive a Letter of Claim from their solicitors. If that happens, come back here for advice.

In the meantime, keep an eye on your emails for POPLA's decision. Once you've submitted your comments you should get an email advising you of the estimated wait time. It's usually at least 6 weeks.
