PPC Fine

[hanabal]

Hi, both me and my wife got sent a fine for over stay in a retail car park, albeit we have receipts and were shopping then eating at a on site restaurant.

I read a previous claim in which someone had experienced a similar fine and was advised to go back to the company stating S9 schedule 4 as the ticket had not been served within the guidelines under the time frame. It is claimed that the offences took place early Nov 17, and we only received the notices last week at the end of Jan.

We therefore sent the company a letter to state we didn't accept the fine as these where not complaint with the above Protection of Fredom act 2012, also responding as registered keepers not by name.

We today received a letter back stating that are point had been noted & considered. But asked for us to forward the full details of the driver at the time of incurred charge, so records can be updated accordingly, again stating the notice would be placed on hold for 14 days to allow for us to provide this information.

How should we respond back now?

Many thanks

You do nothing, there is no legal requirement to identify the driver. They are hoping you will give the drivers name in the hope that the appeal will go forward but is just means that the do not have to rely on POFA any more to recover the money. They realise that they are on a hiding to nothing and trying to fool you into giving out info.

This is not a fine, it is purely a speculative invoice.

If you continue getting hassle go back to the restaurant and ask them to contact the company and order them to cancel. If the restaurant refuse then Facebook can be very persuasive.

Thanks for the advise, I thought this was the case and these were just trying to identify the driver!

Thanks for your help
