“Contractual Parking Charge Notice” from G24 Ltd

[M4rk65]

Hi, I just received a “Contractual Parking Charge Notice” from G24 Ltd, which was issued exactly one month after the incident of my vehicle parking in a carpark that they run. I’m told that they have to legally notify me within 14 days, Is that correct? "The driver" doesnt deny parking in the car park, "The driver" just didn't realise that when the shop was closed, the maximum 2hr charging system changed and its an instant charge….."The Driver" was parked there 20 mins whilst shopping in another store (not associated with this carpark).
If the 14days is not applicable,,,,, If I were to contact them and told them it wasn't me driving, am I legally obliged to tell them who might have been and would I still be liable for the charge?
Thanks in advance.

Edit your post so that the identity of the driver cannot be inferred, use "the driver...."etc

If there was a windscreen ticket then they have to deliver the Notice to Keeper between day 28 and 56. No windscreen ticket then they have to deliver within 14 days.

Suggest you post up the redacted PCN but leave dates. Use a hosting site such as imgur.

The can come after the keeper if they get things correct.

HI Ostell, have edited as advised and many thanks for your swift response.
There was no windscreen ticket, purely ANPR camera. So as I was notified after 14 days, they do not have a leg to stand on??
Any advice on my next step would be appreciated.

Dear Sirs,

I have just received your Notice to Keeper No. xxxxx for vehicle VRM xxxx

You have failed to comply with the requirements of Schedule 4 of The Protection Of Freedoms Act 2012 namely, but not limited to, failing to deliver the notice within the relevant period of 14 days as prescribed by section 9 (4) of the Act. You cannot, therefore, transfer liability for the alleged charge from the driver at the time to me, the keeper.

There is no legal requirement to name the driver at the time and I will not be doing so.

Any further communication with me on this matter, apart from confirmation of no further action and my details being removed from your records, will be considered vexatious and harassment. This includes communication from any Debt Collection companies you care to instruct.

Yours etc
