Highview PCN

[MabelLark]

What would be the best grounds for disputing this charge if a car was parked at this car park but the driver was not aware of the time limit because poor signage?
The letter was only received yesterday 6/8/21.

Thanks in advance

I think the following will do, as long as required statements are ot on the reverse. Keep the envelope of the PCN


Dear Sirs,

I have just received your Notice to Keeper 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 give notice of keeper liability as prescribed by section 9 (2) (f) of the Act.

The notice was not received until 06 August, some 21 days after the event, and so was not received within the relevant period of 14 days as required by 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.

I do not expect to hear from you again, or your debt collectors, except to confirm that no further action will be taken on this matter and my personal details have been removed from your records.

Yours etc

Thank you - on the back it asks me to appeal on an online form - is it better to write a letter then and wait it out?

You can use an online form but be wary of any drop down lists that default to the driver, there is already one parking compnay tht requires a tick in the box "I was the driver" before the form can be completed. Take a screen grab of each page you complete before you send it.
