Parking Charge Notice Premier Park

[Logi]

After reading a letter headed Parking Charge Notice from Premier Park. From what I have read the letter is potentially invalid if:

• It does not state whether a notice to the driver was given either to the driver or placed on the vehicle and if so to repeat the information in that notice about paying the parking charge and when
• Warn the keeper that if the parking charges remains outstanding after 28 days and the name and address of the driver has not been given, or otherwise known to the person entitled to the parking charge, that “creditor” will be entitled to recover the parking charge from the registered keeper.

I cannot see that the attached letter states either of the above so am I correct in that the charge cannot be recovered from the registered keeper?

Any help gratefully received.

• Warn the keeper that if the parking charges remains outstanding after 28 days and the name and address of the driver has not been given, or otherwise known to the person entitled to the parking charge, that “creditor” will be entitled to recover the parking charge from the registered keeper.

The last para on the excerpt of the NTK you have posted contains that statement

If you could post up the complete notice (remove identifying details but leave in all dates and times) we can peruse it for errors and advise on a way forward

Thanks for reaching out - is the attached sufficient?

IMO your best response initially is along the following lines:

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

They won't agree, but it does put them on notice that you will dispute their charge.
They also failed to state the period of parking, unless that is elsewhere on the notice. No need to mention that in your letter
Do not identify the driver when communicating with them, or on here.
