NCP are likely to fold when they know that there is no chance of payment forthcoming. Very similar circumstances not long back which I appealed as registered keeper and within a day or two NFA.

Reply with the following;


PCN Number -

Registration Mark -

To whom it may concern,

I am the Registered Keeper of the above vehicle.

I write in relation to the above parking charge.

The vehicle driver is not known to you and there is no obligation in law for me to reveal the driver details and I will not be doing so.

Your PCN is clearly not relying on PoFA in order to invoke 'keeper liability'.

Your choices are therefore;

1. Cancel this PCN

OR

2. Waste more time, money and resources by rejecting my appeal and supplying me with a POPLA code.

I am sorry that I cannot help you further.


Best wishes,

xxxxx xxxxxxxx

With those dates it was sent too late to transfer liability from the driver to the keeper, so respond - as the keeper! - saying that. There is no obligation to name the driver and you should not do so. There relevant legislation is schedule 4 of POFA 2012

Hello all,

I've received the below linked PCN for an alleged contravention on the 10th May 2026.  The PCN is dated 1st July, although it only arrived in the post on the 9th July, if that matters.

It's too long ago to remember the circumstances and who might have been driving.  Any advice appreciated - is there a time limit I could argue?
