I just got a reply from Horizon confirming the parking charge is cancelled! Thanks @DWMB2

Dear Appellant,
Parking Charge Notice: XXXXX
Thank you for your recent correspondence regarding the above Parking Charge Notice, which we have reviewed.
I can confirm the Parking Charge Notice has now been cancelled and no further action will be taken in this matter.
Please note that once the Parking Charge Notice is cancelled the contact details are removed from the Parking Charge Notice and will not be retained for any purpose or shared with third parties.  We are, however, required to retain images and appeal correspondence for a period of 2 years by DVLA and the BPA and are not therefore able to delete these from our system.

Horizon still don't bother to use Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 to hold the keeper liable. So appeal as the registered keeper along the lines of the below:

Dear Sirs,

I have received your Parking Charge Notice (Ref: ________) for vehicle registration mark ____ ___, in which you allege that the driver is liable to pay a parking charge. I note from your correspondence that you are not seeking to hold me liable as the registered keeper, under Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 ("The Act").

There is no obligation for me to name the driver and I will not be doing so. I am therefore unable to help you further with this matter, and look forward to your confirmation that the charge has been cancelled. If you choose to decline this appeal, you must issue a POPLA code.

Yours,

Let us know how you get on - they usually cancel. Keep an eye on your spam emails if appealing online, and if you don't get a result within 35 days chase them.

I am the registered keeper of the vehicle in question. The facts on the PCN are correct (time/date etc).
Posting this here as I've seen advice for similar PCN's from Horizon related to Schedule 4 of The Protection Of Freedoms Act 2012. I'm not sure if that advice is still is valid and up to date. The driver of the vehicle did not make a purchase in Coop. Thanks!
