PCN received 3 months later?

[Fordfiesta97]

I have received a parking charge notice from April 30th today from my local train station. Any advice on whether or not it would still be valid? Is it worth appealing? They have photos of my car and entry exit times etc. but from the photos I can’t see any concrete proof that I’m in a taxi rank as they claim.

Let's see the PCN you received, suitably redacted but leave dates.. Use imgur and post a link on here.

Is the site subject to byelaws?

Edit your post so that the identity of the driver cannot be determined.

Thanks for heads up, these are the photos, and as far as byelaws I don’t know. It’s a public train station if that’s any help

Keep editing.

Dear Sirs,

I have just received your Notice to Keeper xxxxx for vehicle VRM xxxx

The car park appears to be not relevant land as defined by paragraph 3 of Schedule 4 of The Protection Of Freedoms Act 2012, being subject to local byelaw control. You cannot, therefore, transfer liability for the alleged charge from the driver at the time to me, the keeper.

Even if it were relevant land then you have failed to give the notice within the relevant period of 14 days as required by 9 (4) of the same act

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


They will reject but POPLA will be your friend.

So would I just send the same statement to POPLA? What are the chances they’ll take my side?

You throw everything at POPLA. Any other POFA fails
