Good afternoon everyone. I have returned from holiday to discover this "invoice" for parking. I have not used an imaging upload site before so hope these links work. I would be very grateful if you wonderful people could have a look at it as I don't think it meets the rules... date of issue 23 May date of "contravention" 3rd May - and no idea who the driver was (and I am not going to tell them). I would be grateful for thoughts.

Hi there and you are correct

Suggested standard response is:


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 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

Probably won't be accepted, and you may need to go through the POPLA appeal process.

des8 thank you so much will do! As I have been away notice to keeper only received after their 14 day "half price bargain offer" so have little to lose by appealing - and the driver remains a mystery of course! Thank you....

Be interested to know where this parking incident took place
Airport Parking Company of America supply parking management for many areas (e.g airports. railways efc) which are subject to statutory control.
This means the land is not "relevant "land for PoFA 2012, and so liability for unpaid parking charges cannot be transferred from driver to keeper

It is an educational establishment...

The first of several parking notices to keeper has just been cancelled...thank you des8 for the wording above. I will keep you all informed.
