Hi all,
Over two years ago my vehicle was parked within a pay and display car park in London. I was not the driver merely the registered keeper of the vehicle.
Excel sent me a Notice to Keeper that was sent outside of the time period to cite Keeper Liability as per section 4 of the Protection of Freedom Act.
I decided to check the signage some time later at the entrance to the carpark and at the pay stations and noticed that both stated that the driver at the time of the incident would have been entering into a contract with VCS Parking Services.
As Excel and VCS Parking Services are separate legal entities am I right in thinking that any contract would have been solely with VCS and Excel would not have the authority to chase payment as no contract exists between themselves and the driver?
Am I also right in thinking if no contract exists between Excel and the driver during the incident then the data would not have been gained from the DVLA with “reasonable cause”?
Any help would be great!
