Thank you, I have responded as the keeper only advising I cannot help them any further. Thanks I’ll let you know the outcome

Ok, they are definitely out of time to transfer liability to the keeper, but you need to be careful not to say I parked...

Appeal as keeper only, declining to name the driver, and pointing out that they have failed to issue the PCN within the required timeframe (14 days) to allow liability transfer, and you are therefore unable to help them further.

They may well refuse, but a subsequent appeal to POPLA will probably get it quashed.

This assumes that a windscreen PCN was not served?

Are you the reg keeper and has it come to your correct address?

I received a parking ticket five weeks after I parked in an NCP car park. Is the amount of time for the fine to be sent too long? Thanks
