Parking Charge Notice / Notice To Keeper at Peel Centre Stockport from Excel Parking

[xtonehari]

Hello All

I received a PCN/NTK on 08/10/2017 from “Excel Parking” for parking the car at Peel Center Stockport.

The PCN/NTK shows:

Issue Date (posted): 03/10/2017
PCN Ref No: xxxxxxx
VRM (reg no): xxxxxxx
Vehicle Make: xxxxxxx
Vehicle Model: xxxxxxx
Contravention Date: 16/09/2017
Contravention time: 11:15
Duration of Stay: 36 minutes

I was unware I had to pay for the parking for short time as my wife took my daughter to use the toilet while I was waiting in the car until they return from the toilet.

The notice says if payment is made by 17/10/2017 then it will be reduced to £60.

Could you please help me how I can appeal and with a draft letter to Excel Parking appealing against the PCN/NTK.

Thank you very much

Can I appeal based on that the Notice to Keeper is out of time, as it should have been received by the registered keeper within 14 days of the parking event.

If there was no notice on the windscreen then yes you can tell them that they have failed to conform to the requirements of POFA, namely but not limited to delivering the Notice within 14 days and therefore they can only claim from the driver who you will not be identifying. As there is no liability you do not expect to hear from them again other than to confirm the withdrawal of charges and deletion of personal details from their records.

Dear Sir / Madam,

Re: Parking Charge Notice Number xxxxxxxx (Vehicle Reg: xxxxxxxx)
Site: Peel Centre, Stockport
Contravention Date: 16/09/2017

I am writing to appeal against the parking charge notice I received on 08/10/2017.

As the Registered Keeper of the above Vehicle on the dates of the alleged infringement, I was not the driver on that date and time.

The notice to keeper is time-barred by the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 as it should have been issued within 14 days of the parking event. In this case, you have failed to conform to the requirements of POFA.

Please stop hassling me as it is causing me immense distress and please remove my personal information from your database, failing which I reserve the right to take action without further reference to you, via the Data Protection Act 1998, for misuse of my personal data.

In full faithful I request you to cancel my Parking Notice for the above reason.

Sincerely
XXX
