I apologise in advance to @b789 for choosing to keep in the 'no invitation to the keeper'. I just felt like if there was any chance something might get missed or the slightest chance POPLA still see it as noteworthy it would be worth keeping. Plus with the ambiguity of the address it helps to bolster this argument.
It is fairly obvious that you have not understood the point of PoFA compliance. PoFA only applies IF the drivers identity is unknown and remains so. You have already identified yourself to have also been the driver.

Lack of PoFA compliance can only help you if the drivers identity is unknown. The moment the drivers identity is revealed, PoFA ceases to apply. The drivers identity has been revealed by you. Therefore, what are you trying to achieve by claiming PoFA failures? They don't need to comply at all as they are not chasing you as the known keeper but as the known driver.

You can leave it is if you like but it will not help you in your appeal.

Yes you're right and the general consensus of everyone has been to not include this. Thank you for patience. I wasn't well when I posted this and I think I was just in a state of panic trying to say as much as I could. My only priority now is just making sure my first point is clear and worded in a way that gives me the best chance of success.

Even if it is not successful, it doesn't mean anything.

So I need to stop worrying?

Losing a POPLA appeal does not mean you have to pay the charge. If you feel strongly enough then you can fight it all the way to court, should it ever get that far. POPLA is not truly independent as it is funded by the BPA members and so they are looking out for their members interests at the end of the day.

A POPLA rejection has absolutely no bearing on any future claim, should it ever get that far.
