Re: Smart Parking PCN

Sadly this isn't the first time i've seen such a scenario. Whatever happens neither Smart nor DRP will let you appeal.

However the best thing to do is write to both complaining that this is the 1st communication you, as registered keeper, have received and you have been denied a chance to appeal and that keeper liability cannot apply where no notice to keeper was sent within the relevant timescales. Keep evidence of this and the likely refusal to let you appeal as in the unlikely event they ever try court you can use this as evidence.

Re: Smart Parking PCN

They are not set up to handle appeals. There should be an email address or phone number on the letter ?

Re: Smart Parking PCN

Of course they say that, pressure is how they get people to pay. As you can see from that link above they don't like court (past performance is guarantee of future performance etc)

Dear Sirs,

I, as registered keeper, have been sent a letter from DRP which is the first and only communication i have had in this matter. It appears to be for a parking charge notice. I have had no opportunity to appeal.

I wish to appeal, as registered keeper, as no notice to keeper has been given within the timescales laid down by POFA 2012 schedule 4. As such i have no liability.

Yours etc


They will tell you it's too late etc. Everything should be filed in a drawer for just over 6 years (aside from court papers which would need dealt with but are unlikely to appear). You will be sent many begging letters. Don't waste any stamps although you could email them if you wish with the same info as above. Always as registered keeper. Keep copies.

Re: Smart Parking PCN

I'd just send it at the same time to the 2 addresses.
