Hi guys,
hope all is well!
I had an appeal assistance on this forum regarding a PCN received but I can allocate the thread I had made as it was on a different account.
On 7/01/2026 they had replied with the following response but unfortunately I haven't received any response since and it says 21 days. I will post the appeal and the automated response. I had provided correct email address, name and home address.

Parking Charge Notice : PC31------
-----Your Message-----
I am the keeper of the vehicle and I dispute your parking charge.
I deny any liability or contractual agreement and I require you to cancel the PCN or refer the matter to independent Alternative Dispute Resolution.
Your Notice to Driver does not comply with the mandatory requirements of Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. In particular, it fails to specify any period of parking. As a result, you are unable to transfer liability to the keeper. Partial or substantial compliance is irrelevant.
There will be no admission as to who was driving and no inference or assumption may be drawn. Your allegation, if any, is against the driver only.
I am now providing the keeper's name and address for service. You therefore have no lawful basis or necessity to request keeper data from the DVLA. Any DVLA request made after receipt of this appeal will constitute unlawful and excessive processing of personal data, in breach of UK GDPR Articles 5(1)(a), 5(1)(c), and 6(1), and will be treated as a data misuse for which I will pursue complaints and compensation without further notice.
The registered keeper cannot be presumed or inferred to have been the driver, nor pursued under some twisted interpretation of the law of agency. Your NtK can only hold the driver liable. You are urged to save us both a complete waste of time and cancel the PCN or issue a rejection with details of ADR.
