Gemini Parking Ticket

[chris101]

Good Evening,

During the Bank Holiday Monday, 27/08/2018, the driver took their kids to the soft play at the gym. While juggling to get the kids out the car, the driver used one of the gyms parking tickets that they had in the car (they had a booklet of paid tickets that they use for the gym) however it seems in the rush and chaos in getting out of the car one of their children knocked the ticket off the dash board which they did not realise and upon returning to the car they had received a ticket.

An appeal was made 2 days later via email advising that they actually had a valid parking ticket and provided a picture of the ticket along with the membership cards for their children for this gym however they received a rejected response although it states in the attached letter they had a valid ticket on display...

Lastly the actual owner of the car/registered keeper was not driving or parked the car.

Is there any way they can appeal this ticket any further?

Just to add the car is a leased car.
Also, as we appealed by email two days after receiving the PCN so we have still not received a NTK letter.
Should we be waiting for this prior to any further action or as I have responded to the PCN via email and had a response with the POPLA code, I am ok to directly proceed with appealing to POPLA?
I worry if the NTK goes to the lease company, they will end up paying for the PCN and charge me the full cost and their commission...

Many Thanks for your time.

Your lease company should not be charging you for an unsolicited invoice from a third party company, it's not a fine or a penalty.

The choices are that an appeal is made to POPLA from the keeper but as late as possible so that it gets there as late as possible so that it Gemini cannot then issue a Notice to Keeper within 56 days of the event. No NTK then no keeper liability. They are also relying on your letter to show, incorrectly, who the registered keeper was and have not applied to the DVLA for detail. Yet another POFA failure.

Or you can wait fort hem to contact the lease company, who you prewarn, and then hope that they "forget" to include the required additional documents with the Notice to Hirer, which most companies seem to fail on. Also by doing this they may fall foul of the relevant times requirements.

The lease company are the registered keeper, the hirer is the keeper. (Normally)
