parking ticket front.pdf Hi All.

I hope someone can help me with this.... A couple of days ago I received a letter (see attachment) from Gemini parking Solutions for an overdue Parking Ticket. The letter begins by saying they recently contacted me about a PCN. However, this letter was the first communication I have ever had from this company. The letter states that I owe £60 for parking outside marked bays at a hospital. The date was 09/12/2019. The contravention was logged by them on 10/12/2019. The date of the letter they sent me is 9th January 2020. I checked and indeed my vehicle was at that hospital but I have no idea if it was parked outside a marked bay or not. The driver certainly paid to park there. When the driver returned to the vehicle there was no ticket or 'Invoice' and as I say, the first contact I had from this company was this letter dated 9th January 2020. I received the letter on 13th January 2020. The letter provides no further information (only how to pay) and there is no evidence that I am aware of of this 'contravention'. The letter certainly doesn't provide any. Would anyone be able to help? If this means lengthy bun fights with this company or endless threatening letters I might just have to pay it but morally I consider this to be wrong especially as they've just popped something in the post a month after the driver was supposed to have done something wrong! Please help! Thank you very much indeed. PS The front and back of the letter is attached here.

You must edit your post so that the identity of the driver cannot be inferred.* Use "the driver........" etc.* Edit you attachments to remove the PCN number so the case cannot be readily identified.

If the alleged breach was on the 9th and the letter was allegedly issued on the 10th then there could not have been a windscreen ticket.* They have failed the requirements of POFA in so many ways that they cannot hold the keeper liable for the actions of the unknown driver.


Dear Sirs,

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

This the first communication I have received on this matter and 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

That's just one of the many fails.

Thank you very much Ostell. The post is edited as you recommend. From your experience would you therefore say that nothing more will come from this?

No, they will reject.* They get no money if they accepted.* You then appeal to POPLA pointing out all the POFA fails and POPLA should uphold.
