May I send another PCN for you to view? This one was issued to my daughter.
Yes, but please do so in a new thread. Too confusing otherwise.

POFA: The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2012/9/contents) - The legislation that gives private parking firms a strict pathway to keeper liability.

POPLA (https://www.popla.co.uk): An "independent" appeals organisation for private parking charges. Independent in quotes because it's still owned by the "British Parking Association"

What is a PoFA? And a POPLA?

So they are not relying on PoFA.

The bit where they say that 'the keeper will still be liable for the charge' is total BS.

You could reply with the following;



I am the registered keeper.

As your notice is not PoFA compliant I will not be accepting any liability for the outstanding parking charges.

The driver is not known to you and I will not be providing any driver details.

Your options are;

Cancel the notice

OR

Waste further money by providing a POPLA code.


Many thanks,

Post by: Leaf on February 22, 2026, 09:24:06 pm
I drove to Luton airport to drop off some family members who were going to fly overseas. Instead of using the regular drop off service , I wanted to drop them off in the free area (15 minutes free). I had no idea that this does not exist anymore and that it's only longer parking. After I turned into this area I saw the signs and realised I must get out of there. I reversed my car a bit, my passengers hopped out, and I received a PCN for "Dropping off or picking up outside of designated areas." Is there a way to get out of this? It was truly a mistake of mine to turn into that street.
