You will need to adjust up the hand brake cable, we do not have Polo in our data base, but there may be an adjuster at the base of the handle, i will see if i can look up some further info.

This should help.....
Step 1 - Remove the plastic trim around handbrake by pulling it up from the rear it will unclip.
Step 2 - There is a 10mm nut you can turn this to adjust the handbrake. A good idea is to park on a flat and then see if the car can be easily pushed with the handbrake released.
Step 3 Once the handbrake is adjusted to the correct amount replace the trim and firmly push down on it so it clips back into place.
If you find this method does not improve your hand brakes effectiveness you will need to get you rear calipers checked as they may be fualty.
