We will guide you through the process, ensuring that your appeal to POPLA is well-prepared and has the best chance of success.

Prepare Ranger Services Appeal Letter

Our website is designed to check if your Ranger Services fine was issued correctly by asking you simple questions about your case to understand your situation.

Based on the answers you provide, we will generate your appeal letter and it will be written with the correct wording from POFA 2012 Schedule 4 or BPA Code of Practice guidelines.

If you have to explain what happened, don’t worry we will automatically check your comments and update them to make sure they are correctly written.

We do this to avoid mistakes and to make sure that every letter written on Parking Mate UK is correct and professional.

We will make sure that you send a strong appeal to Ranger Services, to increase the chances of you winning your appeal.

Top 5 legal loopholes we use:

The PCN doesn't show how long the vehicle was parked.
A Ranger Services Notice to Keeper was issued after 14 days.
The Notice doesn't clearly state the reason it was issued.
There are some missing legal words or statements.
There was an issue with unclear signage in the car park

So just relax, and take your time to answer the questions on our online form. We will generate your letter after you complete the form and give instructions on how to submit it.

As you can see, the best appeal reasons have nothing to do with mitigation and are purely based on legal reasons why a parking charge notice should be cancelled.

However even if you raise some of these legal arguments, if you then name the driver, some of these arguments can become null and void because the law would not apply if the driver is named.

Submit Appeal To Ranger Services

Use Parking Mate UK to write you appeal, we will give you the simple instructions needed to submit the appeal correctly and avoid any mistakes.

Ranger Services have designed their appeal forms in a way that will invalidate your appeal if you select a reason that voids your legal rights.

For example, on some parking companies they have the following options as the reason for appeal:

I paid for parking
I did not see any signs
I did not realise that I had to pay for parking
my permit fell off the windscreen
I displayed my blue badge

While these options seem helpful, they force you to admit that you were driving, and as a result if he selected one of his options, it would invalidate any legal arguments you put forward.

So we highly recommend you follow our instructions to submit your appeal after you finish getting your legal letter.

Remember, once the appeal is submitted, do not contact the parking company to check for updates as this could result in them sending a response to you quicker.

Send Your Appeal To POPLA

If Ranger Services rejects your appeal, you can forward the appeal to POPLA for a final decision.

This will be the final opportunity to use the appeal process to challenge your ticket. You simply have to submit the appeal letter we prepare and the appeal checklist to the adjudicator to make a decision.

The decision from the tribunal is binding on Ranger Services, but it is not binding on the motorist. Therefore if your appeal is based on legal arguments and if the tribunal does not make this in your favour, it can still be contested in your county court based on the same legal arguments.

Both POPLA and IAS are known to refuse legitimate appeals, however if contested in the county court, the same arguments have been successful in winning the court case.

POPLA appeal points to remember:

We recommend paying a parking charge if the final appeal fails unless your appeal is based on legal arguments.
The IAS will not consider appeals based on legal arguments, so we recommend defending your case in court if your appeal is based on strong legal arguments
The operator have to dispute all points raised in your appeal letter, 1 point is enough to get the parking charge dismissed, so the more points you have, the better.

Ranger Services Parking Fine Scotland and Northern Ireland

If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you should not appeal to POPLA because they will ask the driver to appeal. Therefore, you can ignore the parking charge if you made the appeal to the operator as the registered keeper and did not name the driver.

Similarly, residents of Scotland and Northern Ireland who never provided driver details, can make a subject access request to find out if the parking company have processed their keeper information without legitimate reason to do so.

In this situation, they can then make a claim for Breach of Data Protection Act 2018 and the compensation could be up to £750 for single cases.

We recommend you use Parking Mate UK to defend your case and we will help you address this issue.
